Message from the Principal : Nicole Saieva
Dear Nyack High School Students, Parents, and Guardians,
Although the 2020-2021 school year will undoubtedly present unique challenges, the ever-changing landscape will also require us to use our 21st Century Skills effectively to navigate these uncharted waters. The ability to communicate, think creatively, problem solve, and use higher level thinking skills will contribute to our overall success. While instruction will take place synchronously and asynchronously, the program is designed to engage you cognitively, be reflective of your needs, and remain of high interest.
As always, your teachers, counselors, and administrators are available to assist you as we travel on this journey together. Contact us if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions.
Respectfully,
Nicole Saieva

Math League
NYS Math League is a club in which students individually compete in math contests. The math contests give students an educationally enriching opportunity to participate in an academically-oriented activity and to gain recognition for mathematical achievement. The questions cover a variety of difficulty ranges and involve topics of interest to students. The key is to encourage students to enjoy a challenge and to learn from it to find problem-solving discussions stimulating. If you are interested in becoming a member of the NYS Math League, please email Ms. Tatti @ etatti@nyackschools.org. Once you email Ms. Tatti, she will provide you with the permission slip and zoom link necessary to compete. Our first competition is on Thursday, October 15 during lunch (10:30 – 11:00). All students are welcome! The next two meets will be during lunch on Tuesday, November 10 and Tuesday, December 8. You don’t have to compete in all meets in order to be part of the team.
