SWBOCES builds community in Irvington through the Thanksgiving Project

The SWBOCES Irvington Middle/High School collaborated with the Irvington District VIP middle and high school students to promote inclusivity and build community. All members of the community were asked to write one or more things that they were thankful for on a feather. Students included family, friends, loving parents, "each and every day," learning and other things in their messages.

The project is the brainchild of math teacher Holli Smith, who got the idea from a teacher who works at another high school.

“The outcome is this beautiful and inspirational display of collective gratitude,” Principal Alberta Grant-Johnson said.

The Principal's Desk

I am delighted to usher in a new school year. This year we have a lot of new and returning students in our grades 7-12 (TSP) Therapeutic Support Program. We are looking forward to supporting students while they transition back to school. We continue to be amazed by the resilience of our students and appreciative of the efforts of our parents over the past year. We are excited to continue our partnership with families, sending districts and with the Irvington School district. Our programs are designed to provide academic and social/emotional support to students and to help them develop the necessary skills needed to meet their potential while working towards achieving commencement.

This year the Irvington High School/Middle School TSP Program will host six classes in grades 7-12. The program is designed to meet each student where he or she is; to provide a nurturing school community and to help all students develop the strategies and tools that will enable them to grow emotionally and academically so that they may meet success in their post-secondary lives. Because of our lower student-to-staff ratio of 12:1:1, instruction may be individualized and/or modified to meet the needs of each student. All students work towards a Regents Diploma and may be eligible to earn an Advanced Regents Diploma, Local Diploma and/or a CDOS Credential. Students may also have the opportunity to enroll in mainstream classes and/or activities at the high school level once they have demonstrated the capacity to independently and successfully navigate in a general education setting.

I am grateful to once again have the opportunity to work with each and every student and to partner with families, sending districts and the Irvington School District so that all students have the opportunity to achieve success. My door is always open to address any questions or concerns or to hear your input.

Looking forward to a successful year,

Alberta Grant-Johnson, Principal
