At Upper Nyack YOU Are A Special Piece Of The Puzzle

April Message from Principal DiLeo

April Message from Principal Thomas DiLeo

  • Dear UNES Families,

    As we welcome the month of April, we are entering an important and exciting stretch of the school year. This time brings opportunities for reflection, growth, and continued partnership as we support our students in finishing the year strong.

    April is Autism Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the diversity, strengths, and contributions of individuals with autism. At UNES, we are proud of our inclusive community and remain committed to fostering understanding, empathy, and acceptance among all students. Throughout the month, classrooms will engage in activities that promote kindness, awareness, and appreciation for the unique qualities that make each of us special.

    We are also preparing for the upcoming New York State assessments for our students in grades 3–5. While these assessments are one measure of student learning, they are also an opportunity for students to demonstrate their growth and perseverance. We are encouraging all of our students to show grit—to stay focused, try their best, and work through challenges with confidence. Your support at home in maintaining routines, ensuring a good night’s sleep, and offering encouragement makes a meaningful difference.

    As we move into the final months of the school year, we are emphasizing the importance of maintaining strong habits—both academically and behaviorally. Consistency, accountability, and a positive mindset will help all students continue to thrive. Our staff remains committed to supporting every child and holding high expectations as we approach the finish line.

    Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership and support. We are proud of the progress our students have made and look forward to a strong and successful end to the school year.

    Warm regards,
    Mr. Di Leo
    Principal, UNES
