• DOE School Survey 2023

  Every year the DOE asks the families how they feel about their child’s school. It's time again to complete the annual DOE Family Survey! Many of you have said time and time again how much you love 217 and appreciate the work we’ve done, especially through the transition back to in-person this school year. This survey is a great way for you to share this feedback with the DOE as well.

  Please complete a short survey in the language of your choice on a phone, tablet, or computer at: https://surveys.panoramaed.com/nycdoe/login

  Your‘s code is f followed by their OSIS number, ex. f123456789

  Note, the code might not work if your child enrolled in 217 after the DOE pulled their data. Unfortunately, recently enrolled families are unable to fill out the survey.

  We hope you will complete your survey before March 31! The sooner, the better (and the fewer reminders from us).
