  • Snow/Emergency Days 2020-2021 - Please Read

    The MCSD has six snow/emergency days allocated for the 2020-21 school year which can be used while still maintaining the required number of instructional days for students.  Snow/emergency closures create complications beyond learning such as child care, power outages, and access to technology. Therefore, MCSD will continue to close or delay school based on weather conditions.  

     If we need to close due to the weather, we will use one of the six days built into the school calendar and there will be no remote learning for that day. Stay safe.

Message from the Principal

 

Dear Families, 

I am so excited to have our Austin Road students back for the start of the 2020-2021 school year.  While our classroom set-up will look different and we will be learning with our masks on, we will make sure to hold on to our Austin Road core values: that all students are safe, loved, and engaged in their learning.  I have been amazed at how hard our staff has worked during these challenging times to prepare for their students both in the classroom and at home. 

I thank you for your support and look forward to working with all of you as we head into this new school year.  

Respectfully,

Bryan Gilligan

  • Students Sign Song of Thanks

    When Austin Road Elementary students can't sing together (check out the video here!), they sign together instead! Music teacher Elizabeth Day, using technology and sign language, helped her students perform "Thanks a Lot" by Raffi in celebration of Thanksgiving and in gratitude. Enjoy!

    The Lyrics of the song are:

    Thanks a lot,
    Thanks for Sun in the sky.
    Thanks a lot,
    Thanks for clouds so high.
    Thanks a lot,
    Thanks for whispering wind.
    Thanks a lot,
    Thanks for the birds in the spring.
    Thanks a lot,
    Thanks for the moonlit night.
    Thanks a lot,
    Thanks for the stars so bright.
    Thanks a lot,
    Thanks for the wondering me.
    Thanks a lot,
    Thanks for the way I feel.
    Thanks for the animals,
    Thanks for the land,
    Thanks for the people everywhere.
    Thanks a lot,
    Thanks for all I've got.
    Thanks for all I've got.

  • Welcome Assistant Principal Michelle Tween

    Michelle Tween has joined Austin Road Elementary as the school’s new assistant principal. 

    “I speak for everyone at  Austin Road in saying that I am pleased to welcome Michelle to the Austin Road Family,” said Principal Bryan Gilligan. “I am grateful to the administration and The Board of Education for working diligently to select someone with the combination of educational experience and philosophy that she brings. I look forward to working closely with her to continue the good work being done at Austin Road to the benefit of all our students. I believe that her passion and dedication to early childhood and elementary education is well-aligned with mine and am confident will make a great team.”

    Prior to joining Austin Road, Mrs.Tween spent nearly a decade as Director of Early Childhood Education at the Chapel School in Bronxville supervising and supporting preschool and K-2 team leaders, teachers, and teacher aides. Her other duties included coaching and observing teachers in instruction, management, and planning. She also created and implemented a schedule and protocol for school-wide faculty instructional rounds to create a culture of collegiality and collaboration. She was a reading specialist and a classroom teacher for Kindergarten, first, and second grades and participated on and led several educational and community committees including chairing the Cultural Competence Curriculum Review Committee.

    “I am thrilled to be joining the Austin Road team. The warm welcome I received from Mr. Gilligan, the staff, and all of the teachers has been nothing short of amazing,” said Mrs. Tween.   “Everything that I was told about the culture of Austin Road is what drew me here, and my experience so far is better than I could have imagined.  Austin Road’s commitment to each other, to our students, and to our families will continue to keep us a truly connected and strong community.” 

    Mrs. Tween, who lives in Eastchester, NY, earned both a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Fordham University and a master’s degree in early childhood education and early childhood special education as well as an advanced diploma in school building leadership from The College of New Rochelle. She returned to Fordham to earn an Ed.D in Educational Leadership, Administration & Policy and is planning to graduate in 2021.

  • Elementary Schools Parade a Success!

    Teachers and staff from all three of Mahopac’s elementary schools - Lakeview, Austin Road, and Fulmer Road - held a parade on Friday, June 5, to pay tribute and say goodbye to their students, who they haven’t seen in person since the pandemic shutdown began. Students lined Route 6 with signs so they could say “goodbye” as well in a touching tribute. 

    Check out pictures of the parade - with many pictures submitted by YOU - here!
