Community Check-In

As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, I would like to ask the NRCSD community to take a moment to to reflect on all of the positive things and people in your lives.

I am grateful for our students as you inspire and challenge us with your enthusiasm for learning and involvement in extracurricular activities such as athletics, arts, music and theater - just to name a few. Your dedication and support of your classmates as you grow is exciting.

I am grateful for our faculty and staff. You care deeply about our students and their progress toward becoming lifelong learners. Your commitment to our mission and vision is deeply appreciated.

My visits to our schools over the last week have been humbling and inspiring. Students have taken on an attitude of gratitude by collecting donations for local charities, crafting cards and care packages for our troops, taking kindness pledges, sending appreciation notes, giving everything they have during athletic competitions and unleashing their creative talents on stage. It's plain to see that in North Rockland our students are thriving. It fills our hearts each day to see learners enjoying their time at school and I could not be more grateful.

On behalf of the Board of Education and the entire North Rockland Central School District, please enjoy a safe and bountiful Thanksgiving. I hope you enjoy time with loved ones and family this break.

Schools will reopen on Monday, November 28th.

The newly implemented PACE music program at Fieldstone Middle School is helping learners build confidence in their skills through singing, songwriting and dancing. NR Music Educator David Azarow has been spending time with our grades 7-9 SPIRIT students on a regular basis since school began. The group hopes to work towards an on-stage performance set for the end of the school year. Until then our talented performers led by Mr. Azarow wanted to share this specially written rendition of the hokey pokey for Thanksgiving. Wishing everyone a wonderful and blessed holiday!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Thanks to the entire community, our NR Athletics store was a huge success last year and our store is back just in time for the holiday season!

Thank you all again for support and Happy Holidays from NR Athletics!

"Jack is a handsome young man who came to us as a stray in June. He is a beautiful chocolate brown with eyes to match. He is energetic, loves to play and would be a great companion for long walks. His ears, one up and one down, add to his overall cuteness. Jack is a character who would add fur and love to any family. If you are interested in adopting him please fill out an application on our website Hitor.org."

"Sweet Pea is a lovely 2 year old cat. She was found wandering around an apartment complex in December of 2021. Since she was friendly she was brought to us so we could find her a furrever home. Sweet Pea loves to climb around and explore. She also loves to be pet down her back and have her neck scratched. If you are interested in adopting please fill out an application on our website Hitor.org."
