Greetings Parents of School 21.
I hope that by now you have all received a letter from me detailing the BOE decision to close School 21.
As promised, I am keeping you informed of the process as it relates to your child's School Assignment. The Board of Education and I are developing a process to help families with the school selection process. Soon, School 21 families will be provided opportunity to select a school for next year. Coming home soon will be a flier outlining the procedures for doing so.
If you have any questions, please call our school at 914-376-8435. My staff will be able to describe the process and provide you with the most updated information. You can also email me at bgray@yonkerspublicschools.org
Thank you and have a good night.
You are the ❤️ of our schools.
You inspire. You uplift. You create magic every single day. 🪄
Thank you for shaping the future of Yonkers.
— Superintendent Anibal Soler, Jr.
