Technical Support for Families

If you have ongoing issues with technology to support learning at home, even after visiting NYCDOE support pages (such as Getting Started with Your iPad, TeachHub, Getting Started with Google Classroom, Getting Started with Teams) please fill out the Technical Support for Families form. The form uses Google Translate in the top right corner to translate form into your home language.

You can use the form to let the technical support team know what issues you are having with NYCDOE iPads or other devices including:

Reporting a lost or stolen device
Support for sign in and use of iPad or other DOE devices
Help with applications (including Google Classroom)

If additional support is needed, families can call the DOE Help Desk at 718-935-5100, and press 5 for family help.

Update, as of November 18, 2020: The Department of Education has announced that effective Thursday, November 19, all school buildings will be temporarily closed. This action was taken because the city's 7-day average positive COVID-19 testing rate has risen above 3%. Until further notice, all students will be fully remote and learning from home. We will be in touch with more information as it becomes available.

Read the full Chancellor's letter here. Translated versions of this letter are available at the DOE web site.
