Superintendent's Office

Dear Glen Cove Community,

As March begins, our schools are filled with energy and excitement! With spring just around the corner, we have many wonderful events and initiatives to look forward to.

We are proud to announce that the Portrait of a Graduate was officially adopted at our March 5th Board of Education meeting. This vision outlines the essential skills and attributes we aim to cultivate in all students, and we look forward to working together as a community to bring it to life.

March is also a time to celebrate the importance of literacy. Our elementary schools will continue their P.A.R.P. (Pick A Reading Partner) activities, inspiring a love of reading among students. I encourage families to join in by reading together and embracing the joy of storytelling.

Our school theater productions are in full swing! In February, we enjoyed a fantastic performance of Frozen at Landing School. Be sure to catch these upcoming shows:

• Connolly School presents Frozen, brought to you by the District Arts Department and the Glen Cove Education Foundation, on March 11.
• Finley Middle School Drama Club presents The Addams Family on March 21, 22, and 23. Tickets can be purchased at the door.
• Glen Cove High School Masquers presents Chicago on March 27, 28, and 29. [Purchase tickets] The March 27th performance is free for senior citizens.

We are also excited for our annual Red and Green District Games on March 7 - a night of school spirit and friendly competition! Tickets can be purchased at the door. 

Then, on Wednesday, March 12, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, we invite you to celebrate our multicultural community with an evening of master art classes, cultural performances, workshops, and a food fair showcasing flavors from around the world. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience the richness of our diverse backgrounds and talents.

Additionally, our spring sports season is underway, and we look forward to cheering on our student-athletes as they compete. Stay tuned to our district website and social media pages for schedules and updates.

Looking ahead, our budget vote will take place on May 20, 2025. The Board of Education continues to host budget workshops, with the next meeting scheduled for March 19. If you miss any meetings, they are available to watch on our website—thank you to GCTV for making this possible.

Thank you for your continued support of our students and schools. I look forward to celebrating these events and achievements with you throughout the month.

Sincerely,
Dr. Maria L. Rianna
Superintendent of Schools
