Thank you to the community for coming out on June 10 for our monthly Board of Education meeting. It was a packed house celebrating the many accomplishments of students and staff. This month, it was a privilege to hear from our Jr./Sr. High Student Government, who shared the many events and happenings at their school as the 2024-2025 nears its end. It is always a pleasure and highlight of the evening to hear from our students.

 

Recognitions were abuzz with the distinct honors for the Junior Book Awards, the University of Rochester Awards and the Rensselaer Medal Award recipients. The board also presented the annual Exemplary Staff Award to Dr. Robert Colascione, for his many years of service and commitment to the students as he takes his retirement leave this year. The Superintendent and Board of Education also recognized Board Trustee Lisa Smith, who received a Board Achievement Award from the NYSSBA Board of Excellence Program for completing 75 points in ongoing professional development and leadership classes. Congratulations Ms. Smith! There were also two presentations by Assistant Superintendent Genevieve LaGattuta for “Focus on Learning” – (1) Year in Review 2024-2025, and (2) Elementary Math Program Review. These can both be accessed on the district website, thank you Ms. LaGattuta for these extremely detailed and informative documents.
