Welcome back, Wildcats! A look at today’s first day of school

Welcome back, Wildcats!

It certainly didn’t feel like summer was over today, but that didn’t stop anyone from enjoying the thrills and possibility that come with the first day of school. I had a wonderful time today, visiting all four buildings to welcome back students, faculty and staff as we kick off the 2023-2024 school year. It was fun to share in everyone’s enthusiasm for being back together and for the new academic adventures about to begin. The excitement was palpable in every hallway, classroom, and office.

The 2023-24 school year promises to be filled with opportunities for academic excellence, personal growth, community engagement, and building lasting friendships. Wherever you are along your educational journey in our district, I want you to know that Warwick Valley Schools is committed to providing you with the support and resources you need to thrive. I encourage you all to get active in your school community, embrace the challenges, cherish the moments, and make this school year the best it can be. Welcome back, and let’s make the most of this incredible year ahead!

Sincerely,

Dr. David Leach
Superintendent of Schools
