Morning tip. Give yourself a little extra time, whether you are driving, walking, or heading to your bus stop. Take it slow, watch for slippery spots, and look out for one another. A little patience goes a long way on snowy mornings.
All schools, after school programs, activities, athletics, and building use permits will run as scheduled.
Reminder. Wednesday, January 28, 2026 is a Letter D Day.
Bundle up, and we will see you in the morning!!❄️
The Superintendent’s Student Leadership Advisory Council (SSLAC) recently shared their perspectives on graduation rates, school climate, and chronic absenteeism. Students also engaged in thoughtful discussions about curriculum in all core subjects and their day-to-day school experiences, including the cell phone restriction policy.
SSLAC ensures student voices are heard - speaking directly with the Superintendent about what matters most to them and the students in their buildings. Even more exciting, high school council members were invited by the Community Advancement and Recruitment Officer, Effie Phillips, from the City of Yonkers Mayor’s Office to join the city’s Youth Advisory Board. #YonkersMagic

Superintendent Soler and MBK Executive Director, Dr. Robinson, set the tone by sharing the meaning and mission of MBK. Principal Dr. Baez, along with School 5's MBK Chapter Leader and former NFL player Mr. Hogue, brought the message home by showing what leadership looks like in action.
Guided by MBK Coordinator Mr. Joyner, students learned about the libation ceremony, grounding the moment in tradition. The celebration came full circle as MBK ambassadors Cameron Williams and Jason Martinez, now attending Pace University, returned to share how MBK continues to positively shape their journeys.
This is leadership. Congratulations, School 5!
