Superintendent's Message

I would like to welcome all of our students, parents, faculty, and staff back from summer vacation for the start of a new school year.  I could not be happier about all of the exhilarating changes that will soon be taking place in the West New York public schools. 

Three new schools are opening to serve our children over a two-year period.  West New York’s sons and daughters will enjoy excellent educational facilities and programs that are second-to-none.  All of this wonderful progress would not be possible without the financial support of the State Department of Education and the cooperation of our Mayor and local elected officials. 

This year, our schools will be cleaner and safer than ever before thanks to rigorous new standards.

The West New York school district continues to work together in order to maintain our high levels of excellence.  From our teaching staff with a greater role in decision making, to the administrative team, our goal is to meet the changing needs that will ensure the academic success for our students.

Our principals will be taking on a more proactive role this year by visiting classrooms on a regular basis thanks to a new emphasis on educational leadership.  A new Open Door policy has made our board offices much more accessible to the community.  The administrative team looks forward to serving all who come through our doors.  Everyone is invited to take a look at all our upcoming events, as well as last year’s accomplishments, by visiting our revised and expanded multi-lingual website (wnyschools.net), which is part of a new and efficient communications system.  

I am also pleased to announce that our school system will soon be on the cutting edge of education by implementing Small Learning Communities across our district in 2009.

Programs like this, with small class sizes, have been shown to be tremendously beneficial to student performance and morale.  Communication between students and teachers improves as children focus on topic areas that they help choose.  It’s a truly exciting new concept in educational achievement and I am very proud to see our school system embrace it with enthusiasm. 

I want to emphasize the Board of Education’s commitment to fiscal responsibility and economic efficiency.  We spend every tax dollar carefully and all expenditures are closely scrutinized.  

Since I became a local educator over forty years ago, I can see first-hand how far this district has come and how much we have already achieved. However, we will not rest on our laurels.  There is always more work to do to reach our goal of providing the best education possible.
