First Day of School
It was a wonderful first day of school! Superintendent Dr. Anna Cutaia was joined by Mayor Tony Giannattasio to greet staff, students, and families.
We are so excited to welcome back our students for the 2025–26 school year. Each new year brings fresh opportunities to learn, grow, and create lasting memories together. We are so grateful for our incredible staff, whose dedication, care, and hard work make our schools such a special place for students to thrive. Here’s to a year filled with curiosity, kindness, and connection!
