Dear Parents/Guardians,
The school year has gotten off to a great start! The safety measures that have been in place are working and have created an environment conducive to learning for all our stakeholders. The updated student handbook is being distributed to students. Please review it with your child, fill out the required forms and have them return them to their classroom teachers.
The Center for Career Services principal has accepted another position, and I will be the interim acting principal until further notice. Mr. Matera’s leadership will be missed as he was the principal for many years on this campus. He was a dedicated and passionate educator who placed his students first and assured that they were well prepared for either post-secondary education or the world of work. On behalf of the CCS staff, I wish him the best of luck in his new role.
As Interim Principal, I will continue to ensure that CCS programs are up to date with industry standards so that our students receive the necessary skills that will enable them to be current with the 21st century skill sets required to secure and maintain employment and to pursue post-secondary education. I will also ensure that safety measures prescribed in the SWBOCES Reopening Plan are followed.
My door is always open if anyone has any questions or concerns or would like information about the wonderful programs offered at the Center for Career Services. Please email me at emichas@swboces.org or call me directly at (914) 761-3400, Ext. 2304. I would love to have a conversation with you!
Sincerely,
Evangelo Michas
Interim Principal
