We have renewed our commitment to I.S. 68 parents and community member by upgrading our school’s website and creating a Parent Handbook which is design to be helpful in getting to know our school and dedicated staff.   We ask that Parents review this handbook with their children and us it as a reference, as it contains important policies & procedures that are used at I.S. 68.
