During the board of education meeting on Nov. 4, the district celebrated innovative achievements and outstanding accomplishments of both students and staff.
For the second consecutive year, the district was honored with a Champions of Change Award from the New York State School Boards Association. The recognition stemmed from an innovative conservation project, completed last school year by fourth grade students in the district’s Compass program, under the guidance of Maggie Tittler. Combining research, creative writing and visual arts, students explored environmental issues and transformed their learning into a published work.
Following the Champions of Change recognition, the district celebrated another notable accomplishment as all three schools were named Apple Distinguished Schools. During a presentation to the board of education, Director of Technology, Innovation and Data Systems Casey Hauptman and Technology Staff Developer Tammy La Combe highlighted the significance of the designation and shared how the schools earned this prestigious recognition through their commitment to innovation, technology integration and transformative teaching and learning practices.
