Principal Mr. Michael Pontebbi

Dear TIGERS Community!

As we enter the month of April let us not forget all the progress we have made as a community and all the great work that we still need to do in these last 3 months of school.

This month we are welcoming new branding to our school as well as murals for our 3rd and 4th floor stairwells. Our community continues to show great TIGERS PRIDE and these new additions are an extension of that pride.

We finish Marking Period 3 this month and will be gearing up for the testing season. Families, please note that every school day is critical for our students. Students need to be on time and in school every day to get the education that they deserve.  Families I also thank you for the patience as our phone system is also under construction and will be receiving an upgrade soon.

All students and families take note of the following Key Testing Dates:

  • NYS ELA Tests: April 29th and April 30th

  • NYS Math Tests: May 7th and May 8th

  • NYSESLAT Speaking Testing begins: April 21st- May 16th

  • NYSESLAT Reading and Writing Testing begins: May 13th-May 22nd

  • NYS Science Tests: (Grades 5 and 8 only) May 13th-May 16th

I encourage all families and students to collaborate in order for our students to do their best on these tests. Let’s be sure to use these exams to show off our hard work and for our students to receive feedback on where we need to improve.

Have a Safe and Happy Easter and a well-deserved Spring Break!!

Dr. Pontebbi
