NYSED Parent Dashboard Website

The Parent Dashboard is a user-friendly website created by the New York State Education Department (NYSED) to increase transparency and make it easier for parents to find essential information about the schools their children attend. The purpose of the dashboard is to make school data, such as performance indicators and general enrollment details, easy to find and understand. Statistics such as enrollment numbers, average class size, test scores, graduation rates, school climate, demographics, and accountability designations will afford parents a transparent account of all New York State public schools. Designed with input from parents and other stakeholders, the dashboard provides information that is both illustrative and useful and serves the unique needs of parents and the public of New York State.

Elementary Bus Transportation - Change in Procedure 

The district will continue to offer parents the option to have their child(ren) transported to other established bus stops in the afternoon for certain activities (e.g., playdates, babysitters, etc.).  We will, however, be implementing one important process change for the coming school year: 

Parents must submit, in writing, bus change requests in the morning before 10 a.m.  We will no longer be taking verbal requests for bus changes over the phone.  Last minute verbal requests create two problems (i.e. verifying the identity of the caller(s) and increasing the probability of transportation errors).

While Red Hook CSD continues to be relatively unique among school districts in honoring a variety of transportation changes, parents should limit the number of changes. As the number of changes increase, so too does the possibility of error.
