“Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light.” This quote from Frida Kahlo is our district calendar quote for the month of December.
December & Collaboration - ‘Tis the season of light. We send and receive messages to be merry and bright. We light holiday candles for Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Winter Solstice; decorate with twinkles and sparkles that light up the nights; and come together in collaborative December celebrations across our community. It is important to reflect not only upon the love and light around us but also the loss or less that people around us may feel especially at this time of year. And it is important to laugh. I wish for laughter- together with friends and families - to lighten our days.
In the spirit of light and collaboration, I share this bit of inspiration from Angela Y. Davis, for truly, I find that “It is in our collectivities that we find reservoirs of hope and optimism”.
As we close out 2022 and welcome in the new year, may you find a bit of optimism through laughter that fills the air and may your hearts and homes be light.

This policy speaks to the expectations set for students participating in co-curricular activities and athletic teams. The terms of the policy will go into effect at the end of the first quarter marking period. This will allow club advisors and coaches time to speak with participating students about the changes.
Nyack Public Schools is pleased to introduce a new digital learning tool, Schoology, for students, teachers and families. Schoology is a software platform organized by course that integrates classroom resources and materials along with communication tools in one system. During the 2019-20 school year, the high school will be transitioning to Schoology in preparation for a full Schoology implementation beginning in September 2020.
You will be receiving directions for accessing the Schoology Parent/Guardian application if one or more of your child’s teachers are using Schoology during this transitional year. Directions will be distributed on Back to School Night from your child’s teacher or directly from your child following Back to School Night.
Parents can download an Infinite Campus App on their Smartphone. The School ID is KBRPST.
Dear Students and Parents/Guardians,
Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year. When visiting this site, please review the resources listed on the guidance, athletic, and subject area department pages. In addition, more immediate information can be found in the feed under “Need to Know”, and “Letters Sent Home”.
As you will notice when reviewing the Program of Studies, Nyack High School offers a variety of interesting courses in each of the academic areas. Students are encouraged to speak with their parents, teachers, and counselors about participating in our robust dual enrollment program, Advanced Placement courses, Project Lead the Way Pathways, and our Authentic Science Research Program.
While at Nyack High School, students enjoy participating in the performing and visual arts, co-curricular activities, and athletic events. We welcome our students to become involved in the school community by taking advantage of all we offer.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please call your child’s guidance counselor, teachers, the assistant principals, or me.
We look forward to working with you this year, and are grateful for your continued support.
Respectfully,
Nicole Saieva
