Charter School Promotional Mailings
The DOE is offering students and their families the option to opt-out of receiving charter school promotional mailings produced by Vanguard. You must inform your school’s students and their families that they may refuse mailings by submitting the Charter School Promotional Mailing Notice and Opt-Out Form (OSIS number required) by October 31. Note that if a student is age 18 or older, they must complete the form themself. To accommodate this process, please review the following information and take appropriate action:
- Share Opt-Out Form with Students/Families: You are encouraged to use your preferred electronic touch points (school newsletter, classroom reminders, etc.) to share the form by October 14.
- Support Students/Families with Submissions: You must provide a way for families to request their child’s OSIS number, so they may complete the form by October 31. Additional support should be provided to families who wish to opt-out, but may not have internet access to do so. Families who miss the first deadline can still submit the form by the final deadline of January 15, to stop receiving the promotional mailings after March 2023. Note that families cannot be directed to complete the form if they do not wish to opt-out. Once families submit the form, they will not need to opt out again in future school years, unless they decide to opt-in again in the future.
For more information, refer to the Charter School Mailing Removal family-facing page. For all other questions, submit a help ticket through charterschools.mojohelpdesk.com, or email charterschools@schools.nyc.gov.
