🥞✨ Flipping into Fun at Tuxedo High! ✨🥞
Tuxedo High School’s Cultures of the World class turned up the heat and got cooking—chocolate chip pancakes on the griddle! 🍫👩🍳👨🍳 The classroom was filled with delicious smells and lots of smiles as students worked together to create the perfect stack.
We were lucky to have a special guest, Mrs. Barbara Quinn, stop by to share some expert tips and, of course, taste test the pancakes! Safe to say—they passed with flying colors! 😄👏
But the best part? Sharing the love! Students delivered pancakes to teachers and staff, who were thrilled to enjoy a sweet mid-day treat.
It was a fantastic day of learning, cooking, and bringing people together through food. Tuxedo High knows how to make learning delicious! 🥞🎉 ❤️🌪️#TuxedoPride #CookingUpCulture #SweetSuccess

Our first and second graders had an exciting, hands-on learning experience during their trip to the Hudson Highlands Nature Center! 🐾
Mrs. Blume’s 2nd grade and Mrs. Matthies’ 1st grade classes participated in the engaging Animal Kingdom program, where students explored the unique characteristics of reptiles, amphibians, mammals, and birds. Using live animals, they discovered how scientists classify different animal groups and what makes each one special.
Students also got a chance to interact with a variety of materials like feathers, shells, pelts, and eggs, adding a fun, hands-on element to their learning. From understanding how animals move to learning about predator-prey relationships and life cycles, our young scientists were fully immersed in the wonders of the animal world! 🦎🦉 #tuxedopride #tuxedoufsd

Check out what's going on at the Tuxedo UFSD this week! #Tuxedopride #Tuxedoufsd
The 2026 NYS Grades 3–8 ELA, Math, and Science Assessments will be administered on the following dates: ELA on April 21–22, Math on May 5–6, and Science on May 12 for grades 5 and 8. Make-up exams will be provided upon a student’s return, with the testing window closing on May 15.
All exams will be computer-based and are designed to be shorter, with ELA and Math spread over two days and Science completed in one day. While each session typically takes about 60 minutes, there is no time limit, allowing students to work at their own pace.
These assessments provide valuable insight into student learning, helping our district evaluate curriculum, strengthen instruction, and make informed decisions to support all learners. When combined with classroom performance and teacher feedback, they offer a more complete picture of student progress.
We appreciate your continued support and partnership in your child’s education.

🌍🕰️ History Comes to Life in Global II! 🕰️🌍
Ms. Jones’ Global History II class kicked off their World War II unit with an interactive Gallery Walk—and it was a hit! ✨
Students worked in small groups to tour a powerful collection of WWII images, analyzing what they saw, writing thoughtful responses, and sparking meaningful discussions with their peers. 💬🖼️
After exploring the gallery, each group stepped up to present their insights to the class—building confidence, collaboration, and critical thinking skills along the way!
Fun, engaging, and packed with learning, this activity was the perfect way to dive into history and get ready for the Global History & Geography Regents in June 📚💪❤️🌪️
