It is with great excitement and anticipation that I look forward to this coming school year. I am eager to meet and work closely with you and your child as his/her educational journey continues through years that are arguably some of the most important in his or her emotional, social, and intellectual development.
Please know that I am committed to continuing the fine tradition of excellence that has become synonymous with Nassau, and I am mindful that this strong, nurturing culture of learning is the result of many years of dedication and hard work by faculty and staff members, administrators, parents, and students, both past and present.
From this tradition of excellence, the guiding principles shaping education in the Spackenkill School District are dedicated to the beliefs that all children can learn and that our children will be our messengers to the future.
Therefore, we, the parents, school, and community, are committed to:
- The right and responsibility for all children to reach their fullest potential by the development of critical thinking skills, communication skills and problem solving skills through programs which require mastery and encourage attitudes that support lifelong learning.
- The right and responsibility of all children to create a good citizenry which recognizes individual differences and concern for others, encourages the growth of self-esteem and nurtures the human potential, contributing to a democratic society.
- The right and responsibility of all children to make responsible and fulfilling career choices and to apply these choices so that America''s place in the global society is assured.
I hope the information in this booklet is informative and helpful as the year progresses. If you have questions or concerns in the weeks and months ahead, or if I can be of assistance in any, please do not hesitate to contact me.
