School Vote today! All elections will be held at the High School this year.

Also: There is no choice on the ballot for school board members. There is only one candidate for each spot. So, please vote on the budget, but don't waste your vote on the candidates.

Better to do this: Use the blank space to write in your hopes and dreams for the district.

Some people will write-in: "Grow the Dual Language Program."

A current concern is this: The Code of Conduct was revised so that there is vague language about being in trouble for wearing gang colors -- but it does not even list the colors. It kind of says whatever law enforcement is saying are the gang colors, themes, styles, or tattoos. That is a fairness problem. You could write in "Make the Code of Conduct Fair."

A project for all our Riverhead RASi volunteers and parents: Please seek out friends and playmates who need to know: The deadline to get in the "first chance" UPK lottery, for free preschool from the school district is coming up...This Friday, May 3rd! https://sites.google.com/g.riverhead.net/pupil-personnel-services/registration/upk-registration

Kimberly is not running for school board for 2024/2025. What next for RASi? * The candidates for school board for Riverhead Central School District have been nominated and placed in ballot order.

Kimberly Wilder has decided not to run for the 2024/2025 school year. RASi was able to support a lot of great changes to the budget. And, we hope to continue working with parent activists and the district to save things like: The Science Lab at Pulaski; Teacher Assistants for Kindergarten; and the rest of the Dual Language Program (ie: start new cohorts of Kindergarten in all of the four early elementary schools.)

The interesting news about this year’s candidates are: The President of the School Board has decided not to run again.

There are only two candidates for two slots.

So, how will RASi use this voting season to help improve, heal, and inspire Riverhead Schools?

Strategy coming soon! Stay tuned!

Please, please share your hopes and dreams for the Riverhead Schools for next year. The district has noted that there is time over the summer to make adjustments and gather more staff depending on funding and on classes that secondary students enroll in.

Let's support the best education for our students and our community!
