Schenectady City School District

Our dedicated administrators spent two days diving deep at their leadership retreat this week!

Collaborating on everything from instructional clarity and data strategies to school-wide support systems, the days were focused on one goal: making this the best year yet for our students, staff, and community.

We can't wait to welcome everyone back soon.
