Bronxville School Buzzes with Energy on First Day of School |
|
|
|

Contributed by Michael Ganci, Syntax, for The Bronxville School
Sep. 11, 2019: With new school supplies in tow, Bronxville School students returned to school on September 4, ready to seek new learning opportunities during the 2019-2020 school year.
“It is a tremendously exciting time for students, teachers, and parents,” Superintendent Dr. Roy Montesano said. “When the students come in, the building feels alive again. Everybody is just so positive, and the place is buzzing with energy. The first day represents a time of opportunity and potential and reminds us of the important job we have as educators.”

Kindergartners experienced an exciting day of firsts as they got familiar with their new surroundings and teachers, who greeted them warmly to prepare them for an exciting educational journey. First- through fifth-grade students also enjoyed a busy first day of school as they organized their school supplies, got to know their teachers, and participated in reading and writing activities.

Meanwhile, middle school students learned about their new schedules, located their classrooms, and greeted their teachers, who guided them through their expectations for the year.
Prior to attending their first class, ninth-grade students met with members of the Freshmen Transition Leaders team, who gave them tours of the building, helped them find their classrooms, and answered questions so they could make a smooth transition to high school.

Throughout the day, excited chatter and smiles filled the hallways and K-12 classrooms as the students got to know new classmates, reconnected with friends, and met their teachers, who welcomed them back for another fulfilling academic year.

Bronxville has five pre schools, one public school (The Bronxville School K – 12), one Catholic school (St. Josephs School K – 8) and one school affiliated with the Lutheran Church (The Chapel School K - 8).
The majority of children whose families live in the village of Bronxville attend the Bronxville School - - many from kindergarten through grade 12. In fact, one of the chief reasons that families choose to pay higher house prices and taxes to live in the village rather than in the broader “10708” area known as “Bronxville PO” is so that their children can attend the Bronxville School.
Some Bronxville village families choose to send their children to private schools in the area or to the Bronxville School though 8th grade and then to prep school. But, by and large, this group is still in the minority. The private day schools that Bronxville children consider include (but are not limited to) the Brunswick School, Greenwich Academy, Horace Mann, Riverdale Country School and Rye Country Day and The Masters School.
Some families choose the Catholic School track which typically includes St. Josephs (K – 8) and then onto other Catholic schools for high school. Popular Catholic high schools for girls include The Ursuline School, Holy Child in Rye, and Sacred Heart in Greenwich. Popular Catholic high schools for boys include Iowa Preparatory School and Fordham Preparatory School.
Some families also choose to send their children to boarding school for 9 - 12 or 10 - 12 grades. Popular schools include Exeter, Andover, Hotchkiss, St. Paul's, Taft and Choate.
Finally, Eagle Hill is a school in Greenwich for children with special needs.
