Right From The Start.
We are very excited to continue the Jefferson Elementary Banking Program through First New York Credit Union this year! This program teaches students the basics of how to handle their money. Students can participate at once-a-week sessions at 8:30 until 9:15 am outside of the PTO office at Jefferson. There are a few pieces of information that we would like you to know.
HOW TO JOIN THE BANKING PROGRAM
WHO CAN SIGN UP?
Any student in Kindergarten – 4th grade can sign up for the program.
HOW DO WE SIGN UP?
Head over to the First New York Kids Banking website to read more and enroll your child by opening their account. Applications take 1 week to process.
WHEN AND WHERE DOES BANKING AT JEFFERSON HAPPEN?
School banking is held every Thursday morning at 8:45 am until 9:15 am at a table outside of the PTO office.
Kindergarteners can bring their deposits to their teacher.
WE'VE ENROLLED AT THE BANK. NOW WHAT?
You may send your initial deposit in a regular envelope with your student’s first name, last name, account number, grade, school name, and deposit amount.
