Good Evening YMA Faculty, Staff, Families and Students,
Please review the information sent to your email. We will begin this school year joining Yonkers Public Schools and the State of New York as we implement the bell to bell distraction free school day which requires students to restrict the use of internet enabled devices during the school day.
To support our students, Yonkers Public Schools is providing every student with a device to use in school and take home. Please read the letter in the email along with completing the parent consent that will be available on September 3rd.
Together we will make this year the best ever at YMA. I can't wait to welcome our entire learning community home to YMA for the 2025-26 school year.
Sincerely,
Don DeMatteo

Superintendent Soler: “It’s a historic moment, welcoming these four incredible student representatives to the Yonkers Board of Education. These young leaders are stepping into an important role — not only as the voice of their own schools but as advocates for over 24,000 students. Their presence reminds us why we do this work. I look forward to hearing their perspectives, learning from their experiences, and working alongside them to move Yonkers Public Schools forward."
