Dear PS 101 Families,

October isĀ National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a time to spotlight the importance of online safetyā€”especially for children. To support this effort, a practicalĀ guideĀ was created that provides tips and resources specifically designed to help parents safeguard their children on social media platforms and during online gaming. Please note that the guide is available in all NYCPS languages and is available on theĀ Cybersecurity Awareness MonthĀ page (under A Quick Guide for Parents in the Digital Age).Ā

Technology Support Hub Tile Available in NYCSA

Dear PS101 Families,

Please note that starting January 31, families will be able to access the DIIT Help Desk via the new Support Hub tile in their NYC Schools Account (NYCSA).

Through the Support Hub, families will be able to open tickets to troubleshoot issues related to: requesting repairs for DOE-loaned technology such as iPads; iLearn; password resets; NYCSA access; and more. In addition, the Support Hub includes the digital chatbot assistant, EVA (Education Virtual Assistant), which allows families to receive immediate responses to technical questions, without the need to submit a DIIT ticket.

For additional information on NYCSA and Student Profile, refer to the NYCSA/FAM/Student Profile Wiki. For parent resources, including an overview of NYCSA, see the NYC Schools Account webpage.
