Upper Nyack Joins Hands for Black History

February Message from Principal DiLeo

February Message from Principal Thomas DiLeo

February is an important month at UNES as we celebrate Black History Month. Students will engage in learning that honors the achievements, history, and cultural contributions of Black communities while reinforcing our values of respect, perseverance, and inclusion.

We are excited to kick off the month with a special cultural experience featuring the Zuzu Acrobats, an elite group of Tanzanian performers trained at the Baba Watoto School for Performing Arts. This performance highlights East African history and traditions and emphasizes teamwork, discipline, and resilience. Thank you to our PTA for sponsoring this event!

PBIS Update:
At the end of February, we will launch the UNES School Store as part of our PBIS program. Students will save their earned STAR tickets in individual “bank accounts” to purchase school-related items such as pencils, stickers, and folders—encouraging goal setting and positive decision-making.

Important Dates:

  • Spring Parent/Teacher Conferences:

    • March 19 – ½ day for students, conferences 1:00–3:00 PM
