Keeping it “REAL” in Nyack Schools

Relationships, Engagement, Academics and Learning is the dynamic that supports our number one goal – to challenge each of our students to reach his/her potential in a safe and nurturing environment.

Helping to sustain this challenge is another key District goal – teacher participation in ongoing, meaningful, professional development.  Nurturing strong relationships that engage us in rigorous academics that enable us to become a community of lifelong learners is how these two goals work together to keep it REAL in Nyack. 

Keeping it real also means that our schools are partners with our families and greater community in putting our children first.  Each of us has a key role to play, whether it is being a mentor, role model, participant in activities, or just by showing continuous concern and interest in our children’s future.

This website aims to strengthen these vital connections by providing information, a welcome to meetings and events, and an invitation to become more involved in our schools.  We look forward to hearing from you, seeing you, and working together to shape a brighter future for all our children.
