Due to technical difficulties with the state testing vendor, students have experienced issues logging into today's assessments. As a result, testing has been paused for the remainder of the day and will resume tomorrow. We appreciate your patience and understanding as the state works to resolve these issues.
Sincerely,
Dr. Monique Darrisaw-Akil
Superintendent

Last week, the students of the Project Excel afterschool program were treated to an incredible Spring Egg Hunt, hosted by our very own Uniondale High School Student Council!
This wonderful event was the brainchild of Shelcy Supre, who took the lead on every detail—from initial planning and communicating with Mr. Bracht and Dr. Tavares to coordinating a dedicated team of volunteers to pack and hide hundreds of eggs.
The result? Pure joy and smiles all around!
A massive thank you to Shelcy and all the Student Council members who stayed well after the school bell rang to create such a magical experience for the Walnut Street students. Your leadership and community spirit truly shine! ✨

One of our district’s primary goals is to prepare our students for the "real world." We believe in connecting classroom learning to life after graduation—and our EMT Course is an example of that mission in action.
This isn't just a textbook elective. Our students are training to become the next generation of first responders, learning to serve their communities when they are needed most.
Our practicing EMT instructors are not just teaching for a grade; we're preparing students for the certifications and demands of a career in emergency medicine.
We are incredibly proud of these students for stepping up to the challenge. They aren’t just preparing for a career; they’re preparing to save lives.

We are beyond proud of our Grand Avenue Scholars, who absolutely shone at the Board of Education meeting, highlighting their TEDx experience. These students didn’t just share "ideas"—they shared vision, heart, and the incredible journey of finding their own voices.
Watching them speak with such poise and passion was a point of pride for all. A massive thank you to Mr. Weiss for his mentorship and for tirelessly working to bring our student voices to a global stage.

This week Uniondale's AP Ambassadors traveled to our state's capital in Albany, NY, to participate in the College Board’s AP Lobby Day. These students met with state representatives to advocate for sustained and increased funding for Advanced Placement programs. The focus of the visit was clear: Closing the access gap. By securing proper funding, we ensure that rigorous, college-level curriculum is accessible to all students, regardless of their background or zip code. Seeing our students transition from the classroom to the halls of government to fight for their peers is a testament to the leadership being fostered in our district. @collegeboard #Advocacy #APLobbyDay #UniondaleSchools #EducationalLeadership #NewYorkEducation
