Dear
Parents/Guardians
During my first
month and a half in the District I have enjoyed a whirlwind of exciting
activities that have made me feel extremely welcome, as well as proud to serve
the children and families of Nyack Schools.
I have particularly
enjoyed the scheduled chat times with community members. During these sessions I received good wishes,
and much helpful information. I also learned about some of our challenges that
I look forward to addressing with staff and community members. Although these late afternoon sessions will
not formally continue, please feel free to schedule a convenient meeting with
me so I can learn more about the community and schools.
During the year I
hope to meet parents and guardians at the many scheduled school events. Please remember that you don’t have to be in
the school to be involved in your child’s education, but you should keep in
contact on a regular basis with your child’s teacher. This can be done in person, by phone or by
mail. Your questions and concerns are
welcomed and will be responded to quickly.
Continuous two-way communication supports our students in reaching their
goals.
My thirty years
experience as an educator and administrator has taught me that children learn
best in an environment that nurtures strong relationships built on trust, and
that engages students in relevant, rigorous learning. I will be working in
every way possible to make that happen for each child in our schools.
My best wishes for
a great school year for your child(ren).
Sincerely,
Dr.
Superintendent of
Schools
