With a growing enrollment in our AP Computer Science Program, we look forward to

expanding our Computer Science and STEAM offerings.

We are proud to continue to provide our students with expanded opportunities to

graduate Sleepy Hollow with college credit. Through our growing partnerships with

colleges such as SUNY New Paltz and Syracuse University, as well as our partnership

with College Board, students are granted access to dual enrollment course offerings. In

addition, we are proud to provide students with more college and career readiness

experiences. Through Westchester Community College, students have access to early

college experience courses, such as Math 12.

In order to ensure that our teachers receive the ongoing training to increase their

capacity to teach these courses, they will participate in ongoing professional

development opportunities. The proposed budget reflects continued support of these

programs and course offerings, as well as coverage for professional development.



Areas of Improvement

To enhance the freshman transition experience to high school, we are excited to host

a Freshmen Orientation. Planned events for the orientation include: a presentation by

senior peer mentors on strategies for successfully navigating high school; an

organized nature walk to Rockefeller State Park led by the Outdoors Club; and an

opportunity to meet some of the 9th grade teachers prior to the first day of school. The

proposed budget reflects associated costs and support of this program.

Aligned with my instructional goals for increasing rigor for all students and

encouraging more students of color to take honors and AP level courses, I would like

to provide a summer enrichment program that will aid in the preparation and success

of students. A summer boot camp would provide these students with early exposure

to an honors and AP level curriculum as well as provide them with the skills needed to

be successful. Students will take Math, English, and Science, and gain study skills.

The proposed budget reflects associated costs and support of this program.

Professional development – to continue to build teacher capacity and prepare

teachers to effectively teach AP courses



Areas of Improvement Cont’d

Replenishment and replacement of textbooks for various grades and content areas:

American Government text needs to be replaced due to a new course redesign;

replenishment of titles of core novels in English, AP Courses, and for the dual

enrollment courses is needed; online text access for AP Chemistry and AP Physics is

also needed; and replenishment of CPR materials for the Health classes

Music - Band/Orchestra Supplies and instrument repairs for Orchestra are needed

Replacement of student lockers: many of the lockers in North and East Hall need to

be replaced due to wear and tear. The lockers in these wings of the building are the

oldest and need to be replaced. The proposed budget reflects associated costs with

replacing lockers in North Hall for next school year. The lockers in East Hall will be

replaced tentatively for the following budget year.



Technology

Support for ongoing technology implementation, web-based

instruction and online resources are needed (i.e. Castle learning,

Google Classroom, and Near Pod). For our Algebra Courses there

has been a shift from traditional textbooks to an E-Math instruction

program.

Improving the overall building level access to web-based instruction-

building infrastructure improvements needed.

Maintenance for Chrome book cart and computers.

Materials, supplies, and maintenance for the 3D printers, Mac labs,

and the renovated broadcast studio.
