Principal's Update
Posted Date: 11/09/26 (08:31 AM)
Dear Families,
I want to extend a huge thank you to everyone for your incredible flexibility and patience during Friday's unexpected power outage. In my 26 years at Tuckahoe, that was a brand-new first for me! Our teachers and staff did a magnificent job keeping our students safe and engaged. I absolutely loved walking into classrooms and seeing everyone reading by flashlight. We truly have a resilient and wonderful school community.
Due to the power outage, we are currently working to reschedule our special visits with Shinnecock artists Jeremy Dennis and Denise Silva-Dennis. We look forward to having them inspire our students in grades 2-8 later this month, and we will share those new dates as soon as they are locked in.
Looking ahead, we have a very busy and exciting week lined up! Please take a close look at the schedule and upcoming events below:
Monday, November 9
