For Public Review: District-Wide Safety Emergency Plan 2025-26 DRAFT
Dear Tuckahoe School Community,
It is with great excitement and heartfelt gratitude that I introduce myself as the new Superintendent of Schools for the Tuckahoe Union Free School District. I am honored to join a district that is widely recognized for its strong community values, commitment to student achievement, and dedication to Preparing Every Student for Excellence.
I want to sincerely thank the Tuckahoe Board of Education for entrusting me with this leadership role. I deeply appreciate the opportunity to serve this vibrant and close-knit school community, and I look forward to working in partnership with all stakeholders to support and inspire our students.
I would also like to extend my gratitude to Dr. Amy Goodman for her thoughtful guidance and support during my transition. Her willingness to assist throughout this process has made a lasting impression, and I thank her for her continued leadership and years of dedicated service to the district.
The mission of the Tuckahoe Union Free School District—Preparing Every Student for Excellence—will serve as our guiding principle as we engage our valued stakeholders in updating the district’s long-range Strategic Plan. I am committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and innovative learning environment where every student is challenged, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
As I begin this journey, I look forward to meeting with students, staff, families, and community members to listen, learn, and collaborate. Together, we will build upon the district’s strong foundation and continue to offer world-class educational opportunities that help all of our students succeed at the highest levels.
Thank you for the warm welcome—I am truly excited about what we will accomplish together in the months and years ahead. I wish all of our students, staff, and families a joyful and restorative summer vacation. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in September for another exceptional school year in 2025–2026!
With appreciation and enthusiasm,
Benjamin P. Roberts
Superintendent of Schools
Tuckahoe Union Free School District
