Dear Tuckahoe School Community,
Now that we’re a few weeks into October and school routines are in full swing, I wanted to take a moment to share some reflections on the start of the year. It’s been a strong and positive beginning, and I’m genuinely thankful for the ongoing support and partnership from families throughout the district.
Homecoming Weekend was a great reminder of what makes Tuckahoe such a special community. From student athletic events to the Homecoming Parade—led proudly by our marching band and filled with students, staff, and families—it was a weekend full of energy, school spirit, and togetherness. A special thank you to everyone who helped organize and support the first annual Fun Run, including the amazing carnival games, delicious food, refreshments, and all the behind-the-scenes efforts. The turnout and enthusiasm were incredible, and it was wonderful to see so many of you come out to celebrate our students.
I also extend my thanks to all of the parents and guardians who were able to attend our Back-to-School Nights in late September. We had great attendance at all grade levels, and it’s always encouraging to see families engaging with teachers and staff. These evenings are an important part of building the relationships that help our students thrive.
Next week, October 13 -17, 2025, marks School Board Recognition Week in New York State—a time to recognize and thank our Tuckahoe Board of Education for their dedication and service. Here in Tuckahoe, we are fortunate to have a group of thoughtful, committed leaders who consistently put students first and help guide the vision of our schools. I’d like to express my deep appreciation to our Board of Education:
Allison Halloran, President
Scott Bogetti, Vice President
Peter Casson, Trustee
Louis Campana, Trustee
Joel Abrams, Trustee
The countless hours our trustees volunteer and the leadership they provide for our school district are truly remarkable and greatly appreciated. Their support, insight, and advocacy play a vital role in the success of our schools and the well-being of our students.
Looking ahead, I’m excited to share that our District Strategic Plan Steering Team Committee will be meeting later this month as we begin the important work of updating our long-range strategic plan. This process will help shape the future direction of our district by identifying key goals and priorities that reflect our shared values and vision. We look forward to engaging voices from across the school community as we continue to build on our strengths and plan purposefully for the years ahead.
As we move further into the school year, I encourage all families to stay connected and in constant communication with our dedicated teachers, administrators, and staff. This can be achieved through conversations, school newsletters, upcoming conferences, or regular emails to check in on your child's progress. This level of communication makes all the difference. These touchpoints, big and small, make a meaningful difference in a student’s experience.
We’re looking forward to a busy and exciting fall, filled with learning, growth, and memorable moments. Thank you again for all you do to support our schools.
Warm regards,
Benjamin P. Roberts
Superintendent of Schools
