Household Data Form - Due Immediately

The BFS Household Data Form was mailed home to parents on Monday, June 20, with a return date of Friday, July 15. It is vital that the School receives this form, as the data is used to publish the School Directory, to contact parents in an emergency, for the Alert Now phone notification system, and for your student's transportation pass/Metrocard. If you have not received your form, please download and print a PDF of the blank form, fill in the information requested, and return it immediately to Ginny Terry, Brooklyn Friends School, 375 Pearl Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201.

Metrocard Form Now Part of Household Data Form

Metrocards, issued by the NYC Department of Education, are provided to eligible students in grades K-12, based on student's grade and distance from home to school. Beginning this year, Brooklyn Friends School will use the information provided on the 2011-12 BFS Household Data Form to request Metrocards from the Department of Education for our students. Students will receive their Metrocards from their homeroom teacher/advisor during the first days of school. Cheryl Foote administers this program; her phone extention is 200.
