The Nanuet News

Dear Nanuet Families and Community,

Welcome to our April edition of the Nanuet News! This month, we’re featuring Family Math Night at Miller and Highview Elementary School, where mathematics takes center stage for students and families. Led by our mathematics teachers Jess Keaveny and Mindy Sklar, and joined by teachers from across the grade levels, Family Math Night was a huge success, with hundreds of family members learning and having fun alongside their children.

We hope you enjoy the many photos in our newsletter, which capture the magical moments that occur in our schools every day. Nanuet is blessed with wonderful teachers, families and, most of all, children who bring their best selves to our schools each day. Spring is filled with fun events both in school and out. We are excited to debut our first Grade 5 after-school intramural program, and we encourage our community to come out to support our many spring athletic teams.

In the coming days, you can expect to find our Annual Budget Newsletter in your mailbox. Please take a few minutes to review the details of this year’s budget and trustee election scheduled for Tuesday, May 19, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. And please remember to vote!

Sincerely,

Lisa Brady, Ed.D.
Superintendent

Who says math can’t be fun? In this month’s Golden Spotlight, we head to George W. Miller Elementary School and Highview Elementary School, where students and their families came together last month for Math Night.

Mark your calendars! The 2026-2027 budget vote and board election will be held on Tuesday, May 19, from 7a.m.-9p.m. in the Nanuet Senior High School gym.

Spring is the perfect time to celebrate the joy and opportunities music brings to education! This month, the band, orchestra and concert choir from A. MacArthur Barr Middle School visited Highview for a lively performance intended to spark excitement and inspire third- and fourth-grade students as they look ahead to joining the music program at Barr.

“This is about spreading the love of literacy.” Barr hosted its 29th annual Read Aloud this month. Elected officials, first responders, district administrators, board members, students and local leaders came together to read to students and share pieces of their personal stories, including why reading has been so meaningful in their lives.

“Resilience means being able to bounce back and keep going when life gets hard, something goes wrong or you face a challenge.” Barr students are ready to meet the fourth quarter with a resilient mindset. During quarterly PBIS kickoff assemblies held this month, assistant social worker Rich Rene and teacher Erik Allen stressed the importance of never backing down in the face of adversity, both in and out of school.

At Highview Elementary, students strive everyday to be the best versions of themselves. Enjoy this video, which led off the school's Board of Education presentation earlier this month.

Highview students and staff enjoyed the music of the West Point Band Brass Quintet earlier this month.

Check out our Facebook post to read about the event, see pictures and hear highlights of the performance.

Guitars, maracas and drums—dozens of handcrafted instruments—were on display throughout George W. Miller Elementary School’s first grade yesterday.
