Congratulations to out Van Spelling Bee representatives. Ashton placed 3rd after a very challenging competition.
We are so proud of you both!!
The lockout at MLK is lifted. Thank you for your patience.
MLK Elementary School is in a lockout due to police activity in the school community.
All doors are locked and no one can enter the school at this time.
We will let you know when the lockout is lifted.
Good morning!

Dear Van Families,
We are working with students this month on a very intentional focus around literacy and reading. In school, students will have a DEAR time where they will Drop Everything And Read as an entire building daily. As a class they will be decorating their classroom doors to depict their favorite book, and we will be looking for you to be the judges of the best door on January 28th at our Literacy night.😊We have also sent home reading logs to have students track their reading at home. Please sign these each day, to be turned in at the end of each week, as each class is also competing to see who read the most this month.
We are excited to get students excited about reading.
Thank you for your help.
Join us tomorrow evening at 4:30 p.m. at Schenectady HS for a chat and Q&A with Carlos Moreno, co-executive director of Big Picture Learning and author. He is a passionate education trailblazer who supports schools in efforts to improve. Everyone is welcome!

A student who attends Washington Irving reported that she was followed by a car from a CDTA bus stop to school. The driver was identified as an older white male. The car was a light blue 4-door vehicle. CEOs responded & are working to locate the driver.

Good Morning,
Unfortunately we are going to have to move Balloons over Broadway inside due to rain, so this will be a student only event. Families, we will take lots of pictures and post on social media. Sorry for the inconvenience, but due to limited space we will continue with just students.
Thank you for understanding.
Reminder: No school tomorrow (Wednesday), Thursday and Friday this week.
District offices will be closed Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday!
We are thankful for our students, families, the Sch'dy community, and all those who partner with us.
