EduKit School Supplies for 2022-23 School Year
We have once again partnered with EduKit School Supplies for the 2022-2023 school year for Grades 1 through 8. It's an easy and convenient way to get the school supplies needed for your child(ren). All orders placed through June 30th will be shipped free of charge and will arrive at school labeled with the student's name and grade and will be in their classroom at the start of school.  
School supplies for students in Pre-K 3, Pre-K 4 and Kindergarten for the full school year are purchased directly by St. Stephen of Hungary School. A $75 supply fee will be assessed in each student's tuition account on the October 10th statement.
Please click the link below to take you to the EduKit ordering portal. June 30th is the deadline to place orders with free shipping and delivery to the school. Orders placed after June 30th through August 6th will incur an additional $12.95 shipping fee and will be delivered to your home. No orders will be accepted through EduKit after August 6th.
The school supply lists for Grades 1 through 8 will be available on the school website in mid June for families who won't be utilizing the EduKit service.

YELLOW BUS TRANSPORTATION SERVICE for 2022-2023

If your child is currently in Pre-K 4 through Grade 5 and you are interested in the yellow bus service for the 2022-2023 school year, please email Mrs. Rodriguez, [email protected]org with your child’s name, current grade and home address.  Subject line should read:  YELLOW BUS SERVICE 2022-2023. She will be in touch with you during the summer months as the Office of Pupil Transportation (OPT) only processes bus requests for the following school year after the current school year concludes.  

 

Below are our current bus stops so you can see if your child may be eligible for service based on your home address.

- - - Adam Clayton Powell & 127th Street

- - - Fifth Avenue & East 118th Street

- - - Second Avenue & East 109th Street

- - - Second Avenue & East 101st Street

- - - Madison Avenue & East 95th Street

- - - Broadway & West 96th Street

- - - Main Street & East Road (Roosevelt Island)

- - - First Avenue & East 58th Street

- - - First Avenue & East 67th Street

 

Keep in mind that eligibility for service is based on distance from school and age/grade level.  A student that was eligible for service while in 2nd grade, may not be eligible when in 3rd grade based on distance to school.  The older a student is, the farther from school they would need to live to continue service.  Unfortunately, students in Pre-Kindergarten as well as Grade 7 and 8 are not eligible for yellow bus service.

 

If there is not a bus stop listed above near to your home address, but you would like to request service, please email Mrs. Rodriguez with your request and include your address and she will put in a stop request to the OPT.  Please know that there are no guarantees that OPT will grant the request for additional stops to existing routes.  However, there may be the possibility that the OPT will create a new route to accommodate requests for stops that can’t be added to existing routes due to the maximum number of miles a school is allowed to have. 

 

All questions should be directed to Mrs. Rodriguez via email:  [email protected]org

 

Please see the below emails regarding administrative changes at St. Stephen of Hungary School.
Throughout this pandemic, St. Stephen of Hungary School has remained open for in person instruction for our students by following all of the guidelines put forth by the Archdiocese, based on CDC and NY State mandates.  In recent months, these guidelines have been quickly changing, and restrictions have been loosened.  Below are some of the communications that families have received from both the Archdiocese and Ms. Burke.  They are listed by date, with the most recent information at the top.  This information will help you understand what guidelines and protocols are currently being followed by the school.
