Ms. Cathy D'Arrigo
 
Welcome to the 2026–2027 School Year!
 
It is my honor and privilege to welcome students, families, staff, and community members to a new school year. As a district, we begin this year with a shared commitment to excellence, opportunity, and the success of every student.
 
Our schools are dedicated to creating learning environments where students are challenged academically, supported socially and emotionally, and encouraged to discover their individual strengths and talents. We remain focused on high-quality instruction, student achievement, innovation, and preparing our young people with the knowledge, skills, and character necessary for success in an ever-changing world.
 
The strength of our district is rooted in the people who make up our school community. Our teachers, administrators, support staff, and school leaders bring professionalism, dedication, and care to their work each day. I am deeply grateful for their continued commitment to our students.
 
Equally important is the partnership we share with our families and community. When schools, families, and community members work together, we create the foundation for meaningful and lasting student success. Your partnership, engagement, and support are essential to helping our students reach their highest potential.
 
As we move forward, we will continue to build upon our accomplishments, address challenges with purpose, and pursue opportunities that strengthen our schools and enhance the educational experience for every student. We will remain guided by our shared values and our unwavering belief that every student deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed.
 
I look forward to the year ahead and to all that we will accomplish together. Thank you for your continued trust, partnership, and commitment to our schools.
 
Wishing our entire school community a safe, successful, and rewarding school year.
