Message from Dr. Lisa Brady, Superintendent

August 21, 2025

Dear Nanuet Parents and Community, 

On Wednesday, September 3, we are excited to welcome our students back to school! Parents will soon be receiving information from the buildings with all the “need to know” information to ensure a smooth “back to school” experience. I think we can all agree that the new New York State ban on internet-enabled devices in all K-12 public schools is creating lots of “buzz.” Please be sure to watch our informational video for more information about how this will be implemented in Nanuet. It is important to remember that the District has little flexibility with this requirement, and feedback - both for and against - should be directed to the Governor’s Office or the New York State Department of Education. Questions about school building rules can be directed to the principal at your child’s school.

This year, we will be working with parents to understand the New York State Portrait of a Graduate and the changes to long-standing requirements for graduation. No matter where a student falls across the grade levels, this new approach to a successful graduation from high school will affect most students currently enrolled. I will be meeting with parents during the school year to explain the changes which have already been approved and those that are still being discussed by the New York State Department of Education (SED) so that parent questions and concerns can be addressed.

In October, expect to see information about a District-Wide Community ThoughtExchange. We will use the ThoughtExchange platform to conduct a large-scale survey to collect feedback to inform our mission and vision/strategic planning work. The future, in all of its uncertainty, poses unique challenges for schools and it is our intention to involve parents, students, staff and the community in charting our course forward. This partnership is necessary to support our efforts to design the kinds of experiences that our children need to be successful in a complex world. 

As part of our annual responsibility to notify parents about important district policies, we have archived these notices here for your review. We have also included a link to our district NYSED School Report Card

Lastly, we are pleased to let you know that Nanuet will continue to be supported through the National School Lunch Program. Each student can receive one breakfast and one lunch at no cost each day. The district will also continue to utilize a CASHLESS system for all meals. 

Families are encouraged to complete the 2025-2026 Household Income Eligibility form. To apply, please complete this form found in the summer packet (these forms are mailed home prior to the first week of school) or online in the Food Services section of the district’s website. These forms have benefits beyond free meals. The forms might allow eligible families to have fee waivers for SAT & ACT tests and fee waivers for college applications. These forms also allow the district to apply for grants and classroom resources.

In these remaining days of summer, we wish you wonderful times with family and friends and look forward to seeing you in September!

Best regards,

Dr. Lisa Brady
Superintendent

Estimados padres y comunidad de Nanuet:
 

El miércoles 3 de septiembre, ¡ nos complace dar la bienvenida a nuestros estudiantes de regreso a clases! Los padres pronto recibirán información de los edificios con toda la información necesaria para garantizar un regreso a clases sin contratiempos. Creo que todos coincidimos en que la nueva prohibición del estado de Nueva York sobre dispositivos con conexión a internet en todas las escuelas públicas, desde preescolar hasta el bachillerato, está generando mucho revuelo. No olviden ver nuestro video informativo para obtener más información sobre cómo se implementará en Nanuet. Es importante recordar que el Distrito tiene poca flexibilidad con este requisito, y cualquier comentario, tanto a favor como en contra, debe dirigirse a la Oficina del Gobernador o al Departamento de Educación del Estado de Nueva York. Las preguntas sobre las normas de los edificios escolares pueden dirigirse al director de la escuela de su hijo.

Este año, trabajaremos con los padres para comprender el Perfil del Graduado del Estado de Nueva York y los cambios en los requisitos de graduación vigentes desde hace tiempo. Independientemente del nivel de grado en el que se encuentre un estudiante, este nuevo enfoque para una graduación exitosa de la preparatoria afectará a la mayoría de los estudiantes actualmente matriculados. Me reuniré con los padres durante el año escolar para explicarles los cambios ya aprobados y los que aún están siendo discutidos por el Departamento de Educación del Estado de Nueva York (SED), de modo que se puedan abordar sus preguntas e inquietudes.

En octubre, esperamos recibir información sobre un Intercambio de Ideas Comunitarias a nivel de distrito . Utilizaremos la plataforma ThoughtExchange para realizar una encuesta a gran escala y recopilar comentarios que orienten nuestra misión, visión y planificación estratégica. El futuro, con toda su incertidumbre, plantea desafíos únicos para las escuelas, y nuestra intención es involucrar a padres, estudiantes, personal y comunidad en la planificación de nuestro futuro. Esta colaboración es necesaria para respaldar nuestros esfuerzos por diseñar las experiencias que nuestros niños necesitan para tener éxito en un mundo complejo.

Como parte de nuestra responsabilidad anual de notificar a los padres sobre políticas importantes del distrito, hemos archivado estos avisos.   Aquí para su revisión. También hemos incluido un enlace a nuestro distrito.   Tarjeta de informe escolar del Estado de Nueva York .

Por último, nos complace informarles que Nanuet seguirá recibiendo apoyo a través del Programa Nacional de Almuerzos Escolares. Cada estudiante puede recibir un desayuno y un almuerzo gratuitos cada día. El distrito también seguirá utilizando un sistema SIN DINERO EN EFECTIVO para todas las comidas. Se anima a las familias a completar el formulario de Elegibilidad por Ingresos del Hogar 2025-2026. Para solicitarlo, complete este formulario que se encuentra en el paquete de verano (estos formularios se envían por correo a casa antes de la primera semana de clases) o en línea en la sección de Servicios de Alimentos del sitio web del distrito. Estos formularios ofrecen beneficios además de las comidas gratuitas. Pueden permitir que las familias elegibles obtengan exenciones de pago para los exámenes SAT y ACT, así como exenciones de pago para las solicitudes de ingreso a la universidad. Estos formularios también permiten al distrito solicitar subvenciones y recursos para el aula.

En estos días que quedan de verano, ¡os deseamos que paséis momentos maravillosos con familiares y amigos y esperamos veros en septiembre!

Atentamente,

Dra. Lisa Brady
Superintendente
