Dear 8th–12th Grade Families, we are nearing the halfway point of the school year, which means midterms and January Regents exams are already next week! Please note that the testing schedule begins on Tuesday, January 20, as school is closed on Monday, January 19, in observance of MLK Day.
School will remain in session during testing week. Students will only be excused from class if they are taking a scheduled, proctored exam.

Good luck GFB students! #TuxedoPride #TuxedoGFB #TuxedoUFSD

This week, Mrs. Correa led our assembly titled Books with a Break, focusing on the importance of giving back to those around us. During the assembly, students learned about ways they can make a positive impact in their community, and especially at school. To put their ideas into action, they created colorful mittens that showcased the many ways they plan to help others. It was wonderful to see our students’ creativity, thoughtfulness, and generosity come to life! A great job to our 4th graders who helped Mrs. Correa read some of the book!🧤 #TuxedoPride #TuxedoUFSD #TuxedoTornadoes

Joann Martin has truly worn many hats during her more than 30 years at Tuxedo, and each one with dedication, kindness, and an unwavering commitment to our school community. From directing the Transportation Department and driving the bus herself to running the Food Service Department, Joann was always willing to step in wherever she was needed, often behind the scenes and always with a smile.
Beyond her daily responsibilities, Joann gave so much of her heart to our students. She coached Modified Softball, encouraging teamwork, confidence, and perseverance both on and off the field. She was also instrumental in organizing, collecting, and distributing donations for our Thanksgiving food baskets and for the holiday toy drive through the Outreach Program, ensuring that families in our community felt supported, cared for, and remembered during the most meaningful times of the year.
Joann’s impact goes far beyond the roles she held. She brought warmth, reliability, and genuine compassion to everything she did. She will be deeply missed, but her legacy of service, generosity, and love for this community will always remain. We are incredibly grateful for all that Joann has given to Tuxedo, and we wish her nothing but happiness in the next chapter of her journey. ❤️ #TuxedoUFSD #TuxedoPride #ThankYouMrs.Martin

🧠 Adolescent Psychology in Action! 👓
Ms. Jones’s Adolescent Psychology class had a blast exploring how the brain works and how plasticity allows it to adapt and change. Students wore vision-altering goggles to experience firsthand how the brain adjusts to new challenges. This turned a fun, hands-on activity into a powerful learning moment about perception, adaptation, and growth. #TuxedoPride #TuxedoUFSD

💻✨ Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek) is an annual global event held during the second week of December (December 8–14). It is celebrated each year to inspire students to explore computer science and get excited about coding. As part of the celebration, GGM STEM students participated in Hour of Code activities that used block coding to program characters, solve challenges, and even create simple games 🎮🧩.
Under the guidance of Ms. Klimowich, our students were thoughtfully led through these engaging lessons. Before diving into coding, Ms. Klimowich took time to review what it means to be a good digital citizen. A digital citizen is someone who uses technology safely, responsibly, and respectfully. Students discussed and practiced ways to stay safe online, including being kind in digital spaces, keeping personal information private 🔒, thinking before clicking on links or messages, and knowing to talk to a trusted adult if something online makes them uncomfortable 🤝.
🌟 Through Ms. Klimowich’s leadership, students not only built foundational coding skills but also strengthened their understanding of responsible technology use. #CSEDWeek #STEM #TuxedoPride
