Once parents have logged in to Focus, they must review and complete the following required forms:

Student, Parent, Emergency, and Pick-Up Contact Forms

  • In the Student Contact Form, carefully check the spelling and formatting of your child’s name (including capital letters, accents and hyphens). This is the name format used in all official communications and documents.
  • In the same form, please list any allergies or medical conditions staff should be aware of.
  • In the Parent Contact Form, verify that your home address is correct. This address is used to determine eligibility for the:
    • Yellow school bus service
    • Student OMNY card provided by the NYC Office of Pupil Transportation
       (See page XXX for more details on transportation.)
  • NYC DOE requires that you list at least one emergency contact other than a parent in the Emergency Contact & Pick-Up Form in case parents cannot be reached.
    Pick-up contacts are the only non-parent adults who may pick up your child from school.
