Dear Parents and Guardians,

It finally feels like winter has given way to spring and we can all enjoy some nice weather.  Our athletic fields are active once more and spring activities are in full swing.  Our students in both the arts and music just put their talents on display publicly at our spring Art and Concert show and as their Principal, I could not be more proud of their work.

Seniors have begun their internships and over the course of the next two weeks will fully phase out of the building as their commitment to AP classes draws to a close. Seniors will be making their final presentations for their internship on June 12^th.  The presentations are scored by a panel of teachers, administrators and parents (when possible).  If you are interested and able to be a part of this process, please contact Ms. Cathy Santini at (914) 769-8311or by email at: csantini@mtplcsd.org.  This is not just reserved for parents of seniors; it is open to any of our parents who are interested in sharing in the culminating experience for so many of our seniors.

Over the next several weeks there are several important events that I want to remind everyone of so please mark your calendars accordingly.  All students involved in AP Exams will be sitting for their specific exam(s) sometime between May 6^th through to May 16^th.  The AP Exam schedule has been posted on-line.  On May 28^th our underclass awards ceremony will be held in the auditorium starting at 7:00pm.  This is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the academic and leadership achievements of our 9^th, 10^th and 11^th graders.  Additionally, our incoming 9^th graders will be coming up to the high school this day as well. This will be a good opportunity to spend some time getting to know each of them and for the students to ask questions about the high school program. May 30^th is our senior prom.  This year the senior class has booked the Greentree Country Club in New Rochelle and as in the past our pre-prom activities will begin here at the high school at 5:00 pm.

In closing, I would like to remind you the Budget Vote and School Board Election will be held on May 21^st.

Dedicated to excellence,
