FUTURE READY - Global Competence
New City Elementary Students Celebrate The Lunar New Year.
The Clarkstown Central School District is where students become well-rounded, critical thinkers who are able to communicate effectively and become responsible, ethical, contributing members of a global society. As life-long learners, students will be able to use their respective talents and skills to collaborate, innovate and positively change their community and the world.

As we continue to educate and inspire our students, it is important to celebrate the diverse experiences that contribute to their growth, both in and out of the classroom. As always, I am proud to highlight initiatives that reflect the District’s commitment to fostering academic excellence, cultural awareness and historical understanding.
I hope you had a restful and rejuvenating mid-winter recess. As our students returned this week, they came back energized and ready to make their mark. I am proud to share some of their milestones.
I hope everyone enjoyed the day off on Wednesday and, to those who celebrate, Happy Lunar New Year!
Earlier this week, the District acknowledged another important date — International Holocaust Remembrance Day (January 27).
