Glen Cove City Schools

Welcome to Our School

Dear Parents/Guardians:

The second semester begins on Monday, February 2nd. Students challenged mid-terms and/or Regents examinations the week of January 26th which was the last week of the first semester. On February 2nd, we will begin the day with a home room. Students will be given their second semester schedules at that time. All Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors will be given a copy of the 2015-2016 Course Manual, as well.

It is time for us to begin planning for the next school year. Preliminary planning for the 2015 -2016 master schedule includes the student course selection process. Guidance counselors will be meeting with students during the first two weeks in February for the purpose of course selection. A letter detailing the course selection process was sent to you on January 13th. A copy of your child’s course selections will be mailed home during the last week in February along with specific information about any and all course request changes. Please remember that course availability is dependent upon student enrollment and as such, may be subject to change and/or being eliminated due to low student enrollment.

We are always working to enhance the security at the high school. During the next two weeks every student will be given a lanyard for their student ID card. Any student that has misplaced their student ID card will be issued another one. Starting on February 23rd, all students and staff members will be expected to wear their ID card so that it is visible to our security personnel. We would appreciate your support for this project. In the near future, students will use these cards for various purposes, for example purchasing lunch in the cafeteria and admittance to games and social events.

As we all realized this week, the winter weather is upon us. Please remember to refer to the district website for information regarding the status of schools, as well as the delayed opening schedule. In the event of a delayed opening, 1st period in the high school will begin at 9:30 a.m. with shortened periods throughout the day and 8th period still ending at 2:02 p.m.

It is always important to remind everyone that success in school is directly related to being in school every day, participating in class and taking advantage of all the opportunities we offer for extra help. Working together we can ensure that every student has a successful high school experience.

Please remember that school is closed the week of February 16th through February 20th. As always, we wish to thank all of you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
Roseann Cirnigliaro
Allen Hudson III

Ski Club Hits the Slopes

The Glen Cove High School Ski Club held its first trip of the year to Windham Mountain in the Catskills on Jan. 10.

Sunny skies greeted the 45 members of the club, but so did temperatures hovering in the single digits. Despite the bitter cold, the conditions on the mountain were fantastic and new snow had fallen. All of the club members, including 13 students who are brand-new to the sport, had a great day.
"I love skiing with the experts and the die-hard skiers in the club, but I'm even more excited to see so many students trying out skiing and snowboarding,” Ski Club adviser Christopher Barry said. “This club is all about exposing kids to a healthy, outdoor activity that will hopefully turn into a lifelong love for them.”

The Ski Club's next stop is the annual return to Mount Snow, Vermont on the weekend of Jan. 30. Another day trip is penciled in for March 7. If fundraising goes according to plan, a second trip to Vermont will be in the works as well. For more information on the Glen Cove High School Ski Club, email Mr. Barry at cbarry@glencove.k12.ny.us or call the TV Studio at 801-7658.

During the meeting, board members were also provided with information on the district’s nutrition program via a presentation by Kim Coopersmith of food services. Assistant Superintendent for Business Victoria Galante also shared preliminary details of the 2015-16 budget with those in attendance.
