Rye Lake Lower Campus

Principal's Welcome

Dear Rye Lake Lower Campus Community,

It is with great pride that I write to you as the new Principal of the Rye Lake Lower Campus! It is an honor to join this incredible school community, and I’m so excited to begin working with our amazing students, staff and families. This year, we’re especially excited to welcome the MD program to the Rye Lake Lower Campus. As the population of the campus changes, we’ll all work together to build a new school community where every student continues to feel supported, connected and empowered to thrive.

We look forward to a fantastic year ahead filled with new opportunities, meaningful connections, and continued growth. Whether you’re new to our campus or returning for another year, know that you are an essential part of our community. Together, we’ll build on the strengths we each bring, support one another through challenges, and celebrate our successes along the way. Our work will continue to be guided by the core values of respect, trust, teamwork, and a shared commitment to always doing our best. These values guide how we treat one another, learn together, and build a safe, welcoming space for all. We enter this exciting new chapter, with optimism, determination, and a belief in the power of community.

We’d also like to highlight the important work of the Southern Westchester BOCES Parent Teacher Association (SEPTA), which continues to provide valuable support and learning opportunities for families. Please consider joining SEPTA this year. A special thank you to all of the members and officers that do such important work.

We look forward to a wonderful school year!

Jonathan Remeny
