It was all smiles welcoming back our students the first week of school! Students piled out of buses gathering in the gymnasium for morning assembly to soon hear the chiming of the bell with echoes from 1790 "ringing in" the traditional first day of school - along with its storied history regaled by teacher, Bill Arloff, along with some welcoming words from the Superintendent.
Superintendent’s Conference Days are a time to gather prior to the opening of school, and greet colleagues while sadly embracing the end of summer. Yet, the first day of school also brings with it the excitement and energy of students filling the hallways and classrooms revitalizing the buildings once again.
At the start of every school year, prior to opening the doors to all students K-12, Board of Education members are escorted on a “walk-through” at each building to ensure they are in tip-top shape to welcome back students and staff.
Please join Cold Spring Harbor Central School District in welcoming our newest trustees to the Board of Education! Ms. Kate DelliCarpini, Ms. Lisa Smith and Mr. William Wollman were elected on May 16 and were officially sworn in on July 1st to begin their tenure.
A warm welcome to our newest staff! Each year an orientation is held to acclimate new staff to the district and introduce them to the culture of the community.
On August 28, at the Junior High Orientation and BBQ, Mr. Taylor had the opportunity to introduce himself to our newest students as the new Director of STEM and share the excitement of the new STEAM wing!
Jr./Sr. High Principal, Daniel Danbusky, was excited to spearhead a new initiative for the graduating seniors this year. After witnessing senior students’ emotional reactions to seeing their elementary teachers at the Districtwide Sports Charity Night in March, Mr. Danbusky began planning a “senior walk” down the halls of their elementary schools prior to graduation. Alumnae of Lloyd Harbor and West Side Schools travelled by bus in caps and gowns to pay homage to their former teachers and walk the halls again six years later.
Congratulations to Ashley Duddy, Kerry Markin and Kristine Romanelli (tenure area of Elementary Education) Randi Solis (tenure area of Teaching Assistant) and Lauren Spatola (tenure area of Special Education) who were granted tenure at the recommendation of the Superintendent at the June 13 Board of Education meeting.
