DOE and PS9 Online Accounts

OSIS Number
A nine-digit number that is issued to all students who attend New York City public schools. It is sent to families in a letter when they first enroll in a school. You can also find your child’s OSIS number on their report card, in your NYC Schools Account — displayed as “ID” under the child’s name once you add them — or by contacting Ms. Jacob (cderrell@schools.nyc.gov). Keep this number handy, you will need it on occasion throughout your child’s time in New York City public schools.

NYC Schools Account (NYCSA)
A parent or guardian’s gateway to supporting and tracking their child’s progress through school. Create an account, add your student, and start monitoring things like grades, test scores, and attendance. You can also find and reset your DOE Student Account email and password. Email our parent coordinator, Ms. Jacob (cderrell@schools.nyc.gov), if it asks you for an account creation code.

DOE Student Accounts
Every New York City public school student has a DOE account, it is created automatically when they enroll in school. The best way to start using the student account is to sign into TeachHub. From here, students can access all DOE applications.

You can find your student’s email address in your parent NYC Schools Account (NYCSA) once you add your child. You also have the option in NYCSA to reset the password for their account. Sometimes teachers reset the passwords for their whole class, so if you’re having trouble logging in, ask your teacher if they know the password.

2. Click on Settings.
