How do I create an account?
You can also create an account yourself using information that your school provides.
A school staff member can create your account for you in-person or online.
Email your grade Assistant Principal Create Your Account In Person or Online
1. Set up an appointment with your child’s school.
2. Provide a valid photo ID (such as your passport, your driver’s license, IDNYC), your email address, and your
child’s 9-digit student ID number, which can be found on his or her report card. If you are communicating
with school staff through a teleconference, the staff member will verify your identity by voice or sight.
3. When the school staff member creates your account, you’ll receive a receipt with your temporary
password printed on it either in-person or by email.
4. Go to https://www.schoolsaccount.nyc/ and enter your email address and temporary password. You will be asked to
create a new password for your account, set up your security questions, and confirm your email address.
You should complete these steps within 30 days of receiving your temporary password, or else the
password will expire.
Create Your Own Account Online
You will need the Account Creation Code that was sent home with your child in a letter. You can also
request a letter from your child’s school. You will need this code and the child’s 9-digit student ID
number to create an NYCSA account or to add additional children to an existing account.
1. Visit https://www.schoolsaccount.nyc/ and select the “Create Account” link found on the login page.
2. Enter your name, email address, and cell phone number to begin receiving notifications. You can create
a basic account without an account creation code, but to link your student to the account, you will need
the code.
3. Select “Validate Email” after you have entered your contact information. Keep this page open.
4. Open your email to get the validation number. Enter the number into the “Validate Email” page.
5. Proceed to create your password.
6. Proceed to create your account security questions.
