Welcome
Students, staff members, and Board of Education members are thankful to the C-A community for support of the school budget on Tuesday, May 19, 2009. The approved budget will further the efforts of the Coxsackie – Athens Central School District as all of us contribute to the highest quality education we can afford our students. We express these two simple but heartfelt words to the C-A community, Thank You!
Our efforts in light of the Strategic Plan, 2007 – 2012, are continuing to “bear fruit.” Release of 3 – 8 grades English language arts student assessment results for 2009 are the latest indicator of the quality education these children are receiving. The percentage of students meeting or exceeding the Learning Standards increased at each grade level. What’s more, the percentage of students in these grade levels exceeded the percentage of students meeting or exceeding the Learning Standards when compared with all Greene County school districts as well as the State of New York at each grade level. The extent to which our students exceeded their age mates in Greene County and the State of New York was by more than ten (10) percentage points in some cases. (The actual results appear under the link, Curriculum and Instruction.) Students and staff members have every reason to be proud of their accomplishments. And we expect that we will be receiving other student assessment results in the next few weeks; we look forward to sharing those with the community as well.
The conclusion of the 2008 – 2009 school year is approaching rapidly. Members of the community are invited to concerts, assemblies, the sports awards assembly, moving up days, and the high school graduation at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, June 26, 2009. Please join us as we celebrate the achievements and accomplishments of our students, whether at the beginning of their schooling, or at the close of their public school career.
Sincerely,
Earle S. Gregory, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
