Working Together as a Community for Our Schools

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Residents,

It was a pleasure to speak with so many of you during the many Bond Referendum meetings conducted during these past months. It was a great experience as I learned so much more about our community and met so many wonderful people in the community--people who want only the best for our children. The schools are the heart and soul of any community, and we believe the renewal of our schools is central to the renewal of our community. I will continue to work with the Board of Education to search for ways to improve our buildings in the face of massive infrastructure needs, overcrowding, and energy inefficiencies.

While there is much more to do, our district has been recognized for its efforts to promote wellness. We are working to make strides in teaching the “whole” child by building partnerships and programs that encourage students to get active throughout the day and to make healthy eating choices. The district has formed partnerships with dietician internship programs at Suffolk County Community College and the Department of Family Medicine at SUNY-Stony Brook, promoting an awareness about healthy eating and fitness. The Board is also committed to building working kitchens in each of our schools so that cooking can be done on site.

Our guidance department has been working very hard to provide students with an opportunity to continue their education after high school. College Awareness Week at the middle school, College Nights, a high school College Connections program, visits to college fairs, an opportunity for free onsite college applications, guest speakers, a Community Mentoring Breakfast, and many more programs have been designed to create a school culture that promotes further studies. Our 12th graders are eagerly waiting to hear from colleges, and we congratulate those who received early acceptances and have been awarded scholarships. We are committed to challenging our students to reach higher and to achieve the level of learning that will not only help them gain access to the best colleges, but give them the tools that will equip them to be successful in college.

Together, we must continue to build a learning environment and curriculum that will, ultimately, improve our educational programs and enhance our co-curricular activities. Thank you for your continued interest and support of the Riverhead Central School District.

Sincerely,

Dr. Diane B. Scricca
Superintendent of Schools
