Superintendent's Office

Dear Glen Cove Community,

Welcome to the official opening of the 2023-2024 school year at Glen Cove Schools!  Teachers and staff have been preparing their classrooms and the excitement of the new year is filling our buildings with great enthusiasm and #GCPride!

As we open our doors to the new school year, you will see a myriad of improvements to our facilities underway.  The Energy Performance project has made significant progress upgrading electrical components, resulting in new lighting and ceilings in multiple buildings.  Our BOND projects are fully underway as well!  At the high school, our athletic field and tennis courts are undergoing a complete make-over and our students will be playing on new surfaces for years to come!  New lockers also will be installed and new doors will be replaced with safer locking systems throughout the district.  Much of this work will occur after the school day to ensure no interruption to instruction. All workers on the premises are vetted as well, as security continues to be our number one concern.

Deasy and Landing extensions have been progressing throughout the summer and will continue through the school year.  Again, working with our contractors, safety precautions and regulations are being followed and procedures have been put in place to assure a safe environment for all students and staff.   

Parents, please refer to your child’s building principal, specifically at the high school, middle school, Deasy and Landing, regarding any changes to parking, arrival and dismissal procedures as we work together to ensure procedures that have been altered are clearly communicated and adhered to during this time.  Our cooperative partnership has always been a tremendous gift to our district and we will be counting on you for additional assistance and understanding during this time.

For progress on our construction projects, please visit our Facilities page at https://www.glencoveschools.org/district1/central-office/facilities. There you will find weekly progress, including photos and updates.

Again, thank you for your continued support and confidence in working with your children.  I look forward to a great school year, knowing that the commitment of all our staff, coupled with the support of parents and community, will result in engaging instruction and extraordinary achievements for our students.

Sincerely,

Dr. Maria L. Rianna
Superintendent of Schools
