Welcome back to School! We are live and up and running and despite a hurricane, we had an awesome couple of days lat week! Staff ran various orientation sessions to help our students get the year off to a great start! Sessions included introductions to staff, PBIS, Social Emotional Learning, Transition and Project-based Learning opportunities and more.
Who says Summer School can't be fun? Here we are at JFK Marina in Yonkers! Big thanks to Hudson River Riders and Chev Dixon for helping us pull of this wonderful experience! What a beautiful day it was too!
