Stay Informed
Communication is foundational to our mission, vision, and core values. At NYOS, we utilize many methods in order to ensure families, staff, and students communicate and collaborate effectively.
Parent Contact Information
Families are required to provide up-to-date contact information, including their address, phone number, and email address. This information must be submitted at the time of enrollment and updated within the first two weeks of each new school year. If there are any changes to your contact details during the year, please update them within two weeks of the change. Updates made in your child’s Skyward Family Access account meet the requirement of providing the information in writing.
Emergency Notifications
In the event of an emergency, the school will use the contact information on record to notify families. This may include real-time alerts or automated messages. Emergency notifications could involve unexpected schedule changes due to severe weather, safety concerns, or other urgent matters. Please be sure to promptly inform the school of any changes to phone numbers or other contact details to ensure we can reach you quickly if needed..
General School Communications
Throughout the year, your child’s school may send out updates and important information via newsletter, email, text, automated calls, or live phone calls. These communications will always be related to your child, their school, or district-wide matters and are intended to support our shared mission of academic and community success.
