Dear Herricks School District Community,

Happy Tuesday! I hope this email finds you all doing well and that the summer, thus far, has been both joyful and rejuvenating. I have seen several of our students and families during our various summer programming, and it is wonderful to see their smiling faces and joyful engagement. My family and I are enjoying the summer thus far, with a couple of highlights. We recently enjoyed a family trip to Aruba where we celebrated my father’s 88th birthday. We also had the opportunity to spend some time in Lake Placid where we hiked the Ausable Chasm, which I highly recommend. All in all, it’s been a great and busy summer!

As we get closer to the start of the new school year, which will feature a more comprehensive welcome back communication from me next week, I wanted to give you a glimpse into the summer here in Herricks with a special Herricks’ Happenings Summer Video Update. 


Herricks’ Happenings ‘24 - ‘25: Special Summer Update

The first official Herricks’ Happenings video update gives you a glimpse into some of the important work that has unfolded in our schools this summer. The video update highlights many of the summer programs for our students, several of the renovation projects overseen by our amazing Facilities Team, and even gives you a snapshot of our New Teacher Orientation experience, which is taking place this week. Overall, it has been a productive few weeks and we are excited to share some of it here with you. Please click on the picture below to access the Herricks’ Happenings video update (it is 2 ½ minutes that will certainly bring a smile to your face) and if you have any feedback after watching it, please email me (tsinanis@herricks.org).
