🎨 Exciting progress on our new art gallery! Beautiful wood floors & stunning glass walls are installed. So grateful to former State Senator Thomas for securing funding that made this vision a reality. Can't wait to showcase our artists! #WHeRiseTogether

#WHeOverMe

Here's the deal: we get it – your phones, tablets, and smartwatches are basically extensions of your personality. But here's what's even cooler: your school district has invested in building the fastest K-12 network in New York with mind-blowing 40 Gigabit speeds and cutting-edge wireless technology that makes your home WiFi look like dial-up! While personal devices can pull you into endless scrolling sessions that mess with your focus, grades, and even your mental health (not to mention cause chaos during emergencies), your school has created an amazing digital ecosystem designed specifically for your success. Through tools like Classlink, you'll have instant access to everything you need to crush your academic goals, while parents stay in the loop through PowerSchool and our lightning-fast communication systems. Think of it as trading the distraction trap of social media during school hours for a premium learning experience powered by some seriously impressive tech – because when you're connected to the right network, there's no limit to what you can achieve!
