The Board of Education supports and encourages development of a District-wide, articulated curriculum that conforms to state mandates and is responsive to the needs of children in a rapidly changing society. The Principals of the elementary and secondary schools shall be responsible to the Superintendent for developing District-wide efforts toward the short and long-range improvement of curriculum and instruction.

Academic Offerings

Our High School Program of Studies outlines three aspects for our high school students’ success: 

1. An explanation of graduation requirements as specified by the New York State Board of Regents for Regents and Advanced Regents Diplomas. 
2. Answers to commonly asked questions regarding various aspects of the high school program. 
3. A list and description of courses and sequences offered by each department.

Collaborative work among parents/guardians, students and staff is important when selecting a program of study that will provide for the tools needed to pursue the educational opportunities that are right for the students.

Grade Promotion and Placement Policy

Grade promotion and the placement of students within the District’s instructional system shall be at the discretion of the school administration and shall be subject to review at any time. In making such decisions, the administrator or Building Principal will be guided by performance in class past records, including various measures of student growth; parent and teacher recommendations; and any other appropriate sources of information. With regard to student placement decisions, parents may submit written requests for teacher attributes that would best serve their child’s learning needs; however, requests for specific teachers will not be honored.
