Elementary Math Save the Date

Join John SanGiovanni for a Scarsdale parent webinar on May 21st at 7:00 pm. As a respected author, John has a wealth of experience and frames the research-backed rationale for educational shifts that emphasize mathematical practice standards and number fluency. John can demonstrate how programs (like Reveal) build sustainable fluency—moving from counting to deriving and ultimately to automaticity as described in his book, Figuring Out Fluency. Please sign up in advance here.
 

Feedback on Guidelines for School Sponsored Student Activities

At Monday's Board of Education meeting, a set of Guidelines for Student Expression at School-Sponsored Activities was presented for discussion and community feedback. Once adopted, these guidelines will included in each school's Student Handbook. Members of the school community and public are invited to share comment on the proposed guidelines by completing this comment form until June 8. The guidelines and submitted feedback will be discussed again at the June 8, 2026, Board Business Meeting.
