Dear <strong>East</strong> <strong>Ramapo</strong> Community,<br />
This summer, the New York State Education Department announced that nine of the seventeen high-achieving/<br />
gap-closing schools in Rockland County are in <strong>East</strong> <strong>Ramapo</strong>! In this era of high standards and accountability, this<br />
is a remarkable achievement of which we can be proud. Such results are what is generated when our talented staff,<br />
involved parents, dedicated administration and caring Board of Education work together to support and inspire<br />
our students.<br />
<strong>East</strong> <strong>Ramapo</strong> is a wondrous district of challenge and achievement. This calendar reflects our depth and richness.<br />
Please enjoy it and use it throughout the year to keep abreast of district and school activities. In fact, I hope to<br />
see you often at <strong>East</strong> <strong>Ramapo</strong> functions.<br />
Best wishes for a healthy, happy and successful 2006/2007 school year for all of our students, staff and their families!<br />
September<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Dr. Mitchell J. Schwartz<br />
Superintendent<br />
