Superintendent Update June 18, 2022

Congratulations to our BHS graduates!

We had a very special graduation ceremony last night, the speeches were inspiring and the performances were amazing!  And the weather was wonderful!  We will be updating our district social media feeds this week with more pictures.

Happy Juneteenth!  

I want to remind everyone that there is no school on Monday to celebrate the holiday.  Here is a list of regional and local Juneteenth events if you are looking for ways to celebrate: https://www.recordonline.com/story/entertainment/2022/06/14/juneteenth-2022-events-mid-hudson-valley-ny/7581416001/

Here is a good overview of the holiday: https://www.nytimes.com/article/juneteenth-day-celebration.html

Upcoming Bulldog Bulletin

We are working on our June Bulldog Bulletin and it will be coming out next week.  We will have highlights from awards and ceremonies from the end of the year, an article about our Kaleidoscope Club from Rombout Middle School who marched in the Dutchess Pride Parade to represent BCSD last weekend, an article about our connection with Common Ground Farm and our cafeterias, and much, much more. 

COVID-19 Test Kits

We still have a few left.  If you need some, reach out to your school or me at landahl.m@beaconk12.org.
