Elementary Students Kick Off the New School Year

Two elementary school students wearing backpacks smile while walking and talking to one another outside of a school building.

Bright sunshine. Bright smiles. And the very best sight of all, our students back where they belong!

Our elementary schools were filled with excitement, laughter and plenty of Raider pride as we welcomed our students back for a brand-new school year. From big smiles to new adventures, it was a wonderful first day across North Rockland.

Here’s to a fantastic year of learning, growing and making memories together!
