    One Larkin Center Yonkers, New York 10701 Tel. 914 376-8100 April 29, 2021 [email protected] Dr. Edwin M. Quezada Superintendent of Schools RE: Class of 2021 Commencement and Graduation Activities Class of 2025 Eighth Grade Moving Up Ceremonies Dear Students and Parent of the Classes of 2021 and 2025, Graduation activities for the Class of 2021 and the Class of 2025 eighth grade Moving Up ceremonies have been under discussion for the past several weeks while we waited for New York State guidance. Our goal, as always, is to provide beautiful memorable events for our students and families. School districts continue to be governed by New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) guidance for in-person activities during the COVID-19 State of Emergency. As we prepare for June events to maximize student and family in-person participation, I want everyone to understand that all decisions related to these activities must comply with NYSDOH guidelines for social distancing and limits for the number of participants at gatherings. Last year, joyous end of the year events occurred at our high schools and many elementary schools, all following the CDC guidelines available at that time. Commencement “Turn Your Tassel” offered our high school graduates an opportunity to wear their cap and gown, receive their diploma and take pictures with family and school administrators and teachers. Everyone social distancing. In addition, schools creatively offered virtual awards ceremonies. These events were well received and appreciated. Because of last year’s great success the Classes of 2021 and 2025 can expect magnificent events.

  • Three Rivers of Yonkers a Curriculum for 4Th and 5Th Grades
    Three Rivers of Yonkers A Curriculum for 4th and 5th Grades Lesson plans, resources and maps: An interdisciplinary approach to urban environmental education in the classroom focusing on the Hudson River, Bronx River, and Saw Mill River. © Produced by: Sarah Lawrence College Center for the Urban River at Beczak in partnership with Yonkers Public Schools (2015) Introduction The “Three Rivers” curriculum was designed and developed in partnership between the Yonkers Public Schools (www.yonkerspublicschools.org) and the Sarah Lawrence Center for the Urban River at Beczak (CURB) www.centerfortheurbanriver.org . The Three Rivers of Yonkers curriculum offers six interdisciplinary units of study that align with the New York State Common Core Learning Standards. This curriculum was created Tby a team of teachers from Yonkers Public Schools with support and guidance from the District’s administration, and staff from the former Beczak Environmental Education Center and the Sarah Lawrence College Center for the Urban River at Beczak. This new curriculum will help stimulate students’ interest in science at an early age and will encourage students to become stewards of the Hudson, Bronx, and Saw Mill Rivers. It is hoped that it will also motivate students to develop life-long habits of environmental citizenship. Of the six units, three are designed to be taught at the end of grade four and three at the beginning of grade five. Each unit is composed of four lessons connected to one another through an “essential question” that directs the themed investigation of the topic. Each lesson integrates English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies as well as the usage of technology and art.

  • White Plains
    FINAL CASE STUDY: WHITE PLAINS Don't Fox With Us: Bryanna Benvenuti, Brianna D’Amico, Natalie Ma, Courtney O’Donnell, and Meaghan Roche “White Plains, it sounds like a magical place!” Synthesis Essay White Plains is a city in Westchester County, New York. It is the county seat and commercial hub of Westchester, an affluent suburban county just 30 miles north of New York City, and is surrounded by ​ the beauty of the Hudson River and Long Island Sound. White Plains is known for its unique combination of river town, bustling city, quiet village, and beautiful scenery. It is also known as the birthplace of the State of New York as it offers many historic key sites and was extremely important part of the Revolutionary War. The historic sites in White Plains are tourist and family friendly because ​ ​ of the diverse possibilities for education and discovery. Visitors will particularly focus on the preservation of historic buildings, sites, monuments, and cemeteries; and the promotion of public interest, awareness, and generation of pride in our historic heritage. One important aspect that White Plains has to offer is the role it had in the Revolutionary War. Dating back to the beginning of White Plains, at the time of the Dutch settlement of Manhattan in the th early 17 ​ century, the region had been used as farmland by the Weckquaeskeck tribe. In 1683, men from ​ nearby Rye, New York, purchased 4,435 acres of land from the Weckquaeskeck Indians. In 1721, King George II granted eighteen settlers a patent to White Plains. Shortly after this time, homes, churches, and businesses had begun to spring up along the “Village Street,” now known as Broadway.
