On Tuesday, September 3, the Schenectady City School District kicked off the 2024-2025 School Year with a welcome back gathering in Jerry Burrell Park. Faculty and staff from the elementary schools and central office came together for the kick-off event. On Wednesday, a gathering was held in Central Park with the middle schools, high school and Washington Irving faculty and staff. There was music, lots of food and even dancing on both days. Dr. Cotto welcomed everyone back. Board of Education President Bernice Rivera shared a few words and thanked everyone for all they do. Thank you to Mayor McCarthy, City Council President Marion Porterfield, and Assemblyman Santabarbara for coming by and spending some time with us.
