The <strong>City</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>Rochelle</strong><br />
2013-2014 Calendar & Directory
A MESSAGE<br />
WELCOME TO THE 2013-2014 SCHOOL YEAR<br />
As another new school year begins, I would like to reiterate how proud I am to have<br />
had the opportunity to lead the <strong>New</strong> <strong>Rochelle</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>District</strong> for the past several years,<br />
and I hold great optimism for the future that lies ahead. Our school district could not<br />
be successful without supportive parents, active community members, dedicated staff<br />
members, hardworking and ambitious students, and cooperative <strong>of</strong>ficials in our city<br />
government – all <strong>of</strong> whom embody <strong>New</strong> <strong>Rochelle</strong>. I would also be remiss if I didn’t<br />
mention the Board <strong>of</strong> Education, whose members volunteer countless hours on behalf <strong>of</strong><br />
the children <strong>of</strong> our community to ensure they receive a quality educational experience.<br />
As we all work in partnership to achieve this mission, we also take great pride in<br />
celebrating the achievements <strong>of</strong> our students and schools across the district. For many,<br />
2012-13 was the “Year <strong>of</strong> Champions,” as our varsity football squad brought home a title.<br />
We later saw one <strong>of</strong> our own alumni athletes – NFL star Ray Rice – reach the pinnacle <strong>of</strong><br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essional football by winning a Super Bowl and bringing the celebration back home to<br />
the streets <strong>of</strong> our city. Earlier in the fall, we welcomed members <strong>of</strong> last year’s Super Bowl<br />
Champion Giants team to work with our students, as well. Just as recently as last month,<br />
we were reminded <strong>of</strong> the national attention <strong>New</strong> <strong>Rochelle</strong> received as Khalil Edney’s<br />
famous buzzer beater shot was nominated for an ESPY by ESPN Sports Network.<br />
While athletics are a vital component to any school system’s extracurricular program<br />
and overall pride, the academic achievements <strong>of</strong> our students and schools are what<br />
ultimately measure educational success. This year we had multiple National Merit<br />
Semifinalists and Commended Students, National Achievement Scholarship Semifinalists,<br />
FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT<br />
National Achievement Program Outstanding Participants and<br />
National Hispanic Recognition Program Finalists, among numerous<br />
other award winners. We continue to produce a large number <strong>of</strong><br />
Advanced Placement Scholars, and more and more <strong>of</strong> our students<br />
are pursuing college-level courses.<br />
Additionally this year, we launched a new Social Studies Honors<br />
Society at the high school, inducting 64 new members. In addition,<br />
three <strong>of</strong> our schools received national recognition for providing<br />
healthy food options to our students. Our fine arts program continues to flourish as well,<br />
with numerous students receiving All-State and All-County music recognition.<br />
This past year was not without adversity for all, as we had to endure power outages,<br />
property damage and school disruption as a result <strong>of</strong> Superstorm Sandy. Yet with our<br />
partners in the city and community, we banded together to pick ourselves up and press<br />
on for a prosperous year.<br />
I hope you find this calendar/directory to be a helpful reference for information about<br />
our schools and to keep you apprised <strong>of</strong> your child’s activities and all <strong>of</strong> the wonderful<br />
school and community events that take place in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Rochelle</strong>. I invite you to be an<br />
active partner and contributor to our school district.<br />
Sincerely yours,<br />
Richard E. Organisciak<br />

BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETINGS<br />
The Board’s regular monthly meetings held in public are generally scheduled<br />
on the first Tuesday <strong>of</strong> each month at 8:00 p.m. at school district <strong>of</strong>fices on the<br />
second floor <strong>of</strong> <strong>City</strong> Hall. These meetings are preceded by a Committee <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Whole session (C.O.W.) at 7:00 p.m. A second Committee <strong>of</strong> the Whole session<br />
is held the last Tuesday <strong>of</strong> each month at 7:00 p.m. Parents and residents are<br />
invited to attend all meetings, especially those held the first Tuesday which <strong>of</strong>ten<br />
feature presentations <strong>of</strong> educational programs. Meetings are listed in the calendar<br />
and announced in the local media.<br />
COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD<br />
The Board provides time at its regular monthly meetings for the public to be<br />
heard. Speakers may be included on the Board’s printed agenda by contacting<br />
the Clerk and Secretary (576-4219) at least one day prior to the Board’s meeting.<br />
Additionally, the Board may set aside a time slot during the Committee <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Whole session held in public on the last Tuesday <strong>of</strong> the month for an informal<br />
discussion with members <strong>of</strong> the public.<br />
Residents who wish to communicate with the Board by letter may address their<br />
communication to the President, Board <strong>of</strong> Education, 515 North Avenue, <strong>New</strong><br />
<strong>Rochelle</strong>, NY 10801. Questions concerning administrative matters or individual<br />
students should not be directed to the Board until the appropriate staff members<br />
or administrators have first been contacted. In cases <strong>of</strong> questions or problems<br />
concerning a student, parents should first contact the teacher or guidance<br />
counselor, then the principal, and then, if necessary, the Superintendent <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>School</strong>s or his staff. If after these contacts, questions still remain, the matter<br />
may then be brought to the attention <strong>of</strong> the Board <strong>of</strong> Education. Experience<br />
has shown that most problems can be resolved with the least delay if the staff<br />
member nearest the problem is approached first.<br />

EMERGENCY CLOSINGS & ANNOUNCEMENTS<br />
If schools must be closed due to bad weather or<br />
other emergencies, or if significant transportation delays<br />
are experienced, announcements will be made over the<br />
following local media: Internet - district and school web<br />
pages: www.nred.org; cable TV - CABLE 77/30; and<br />
radio - WVOX 1460 AM. If t<strong>here</strong> is no announcement,<br />
schools are open. If schools are closed, they are closed<br />
for all other scheduled activities, including after-school<br />
programs, athletics, continuing education classes and<br />
evening programs.<br />
As a decision is made, our primary concern is the safety<br />
<strong>of</strong> the children. Transportation service for eligible students<br />
in grades 6 - 12 is provided by Westchester County Liberty<br />
Lines. Buses that transport students to and from Albert<br />
Leonard Middle <strong>School</strong>, Isaac E. Young Middle <strong>School</strong> and<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>Rochelle</strong> High <strong>School</strong> also serve established county<br />
commuter runs that Westchester County Liberty Lines<br />
cannot alter. It is not feasible to have a delayed opening or<br />
early closing that has not been planned well in advance for<br />
one division <strong>of</strong> our school system and not the other. Since<br />
child care needs and road conditions can vary greatly, the<br />
district advises parents to assess the conditions in their own<br />
neighborhood as they make decisions as to whether or not<br />
to send their child to school. Because the district may need<br />
to notify you by phone in an emergency, please provide<br />
your child’s school with any change in telephone number or<br />
contact information.<br />
SCHOOL WEBSITES & TEACHER PAGES<br />
The <strong>City</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Rochelle</strong> utilizes<br />
eChalk, an Internet-based system, to provide school Web<br />
communication for faculty, staff, students, parents and the<br />
community. You can navigate to all <strong>of</strong> our school Web pages<br />
from the Directory Listing found on the top <strong>of</strong> each school<br />
home page. A new function enables parents to subscribe to<br />
their child’s teacher class page and then receive notice when<br />
the teacher posts updates such as assignments. Using the<br />
eChalk Internet-based system, teachers may choose to post<br />
current announcements, homework and project assignments,<br />
test and quiz dates, etc. Automatic notices are sent when<br />
announcements and events are updated by subscribing to<br />
the automatic RSS feeds (orange icons) on all <strong>of</strong> our school<br />
homepages. Important district information such as school<br />
closing announcements and Board <strong>of</strong> Education meeting<br />
agendas are also posted at www.nred.org.<br />

MISSION STATEMENT<br />
The mission <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>New</strong><br />
<strong>Rochelle</strong>, acknowledging its richly complex history,<br />
is to produce responsible, self-sufficient citizens who<br />
possess the self-esteem, initiative, skills and wisdom<br />
to continue individual growth, pursue knowledge,<br />
develop aesthetic sensibilities and value cultural<br />
diversity by providing intellectually challenging<br />
educational programs that celebrate change but<br />
affirm tradition and promote excellence through an<br />
active partnership with the community, a<br />
comprehensive and responsive curriculum, and a<br />
dedicated and knowledgeable staff.<br />
REGISTRATION OF NEW STUDENTS<br />
Parents seeking to register children should call the<br />
school’s main <strong>of</strong>fice for an appointment. At the time<br />
<strong>of</strong> registration, parents must present: three (3) pro<strong>of</strong>s<br />
<strong>of</strong> residency, pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> the student’s age and the<br />
most recent report card. For students residing with<br />
someone other than a parent or court-appointed<br />
legal guardian, or in cases w<strong>here</strong> parents do not have<br />
required pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> residency, enrollment must be<br />
arranged through the Department <strong>of</strong> Pupil Services.<br />
Please call 576-4274 for information.<br />
When registering, students residing in the Lincoln<br />
<strong>District</strong> will be assigned a school by the superintendent<br />
<strong>of</strong> schools. Parents/guardians should bring their<br />
children to the school when seeking registration.<br />
PRE-KINDERGARTEN PROGRAMS<br />
Recognizing the importance <strong>of</strong> early childhood<br />
education, the district provides space for a limited<br />
number <strong>of</strong> 4-year-olds at the Barnard <strong>School</strong> for<br />
the NYS Prekindergarten program and the Early<br />
Childhood Magnet Program. The prekindergarten<br />
programs help the young child with a comfortable,<br />
secure and inviting transition from home to school.<br />
Both programs provide developmentally appropriate<br />
opportunities to promote each child’s natural abilities,<br />
interests and enthusiasm for learning. Applications<br />
for the NYS Prekindergarten Program are available<br />
by contacting the main <strong>of</strong>fice at Barnard at 576-<br />
4386. Applications for the EC2 Magnet Program are<br />
available at the open house event in March.<br />
MUSIC AND ART<br />
A comprehensive music program provides<br />
children a rich experience in classroom, choral and<br />
instrumental music from Grades K-12. Academic<br />
and Advanced Placement courses are also available.<br />
A comprehensive art education program provides<br />
children with a rich experience in the fine arts.<br />
Resident musicians complement the music education<br />
program. In addition, an annual art exhibit at the<br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>Rochelle</strong> Public Library in the spring, called<br />
“Our Children, Our Artists,” is a district-wide<br />
celebration <strong>of</strong> the fine arts. The PAVE (Performing<br />
and Visual Arts Education) program affords those<br />
students who want to major in the performing arts<br />
an opportunity to do so at the high school level.<br />
