High School Information Sessions 🎓
Get ready to plan for high school.
Join us for our information sessions to learn about academics, programs, extracurriculars, and how to successfully transition to high school.
All current 8th graders and their families are invited.
Teaching children to immerse themselves in a good book is one of the most valuable things you can do as a parent. A childhood love of reading sets the stage for success as an adult. A child who loves reading will have an inquiring mind, a vivid imagination, and great problem-solving skills. Set some time aside to do some reading with your kids this week and inspire a lifelong love of the written word.

This week, our very own music teacher and jazz artist Keith Pray led an insightful workshop at the Capital District Regional Music Educators Symposium held at SUNY Schenectady.
Participants explored strategies for moving past traditional boundaries in music education and learned how to successfully include improvisation for all students. Educators from across the Capital Region attended this event to learn best practices from experts like Keith Pray.
