It is my honor to serve as the Principal of the Transfiguration School. I look forward to working with your child and your family throughout the school year.
Transfiguration School houses programs within the Southern Westchester BOCES Center for Special Services, serving students in the AIIM and IDT elementary programs. Our classrooms work to implement strategies that support the development of each child’s academic and social emotional skills. In conjunction with a students’ IEP, teachers and related service providers work together closely to ensure students continue to meet their goals throughout the school year.

The SWBOCES at Transfiguration School Thanksgiving Food Drive was a resounding success, collecting an amazing 673 pounds of donated items to benefit local families through Feeding Westchester.
With the help of students like Keren, pictured helping to post flyers around the school, the Thanksgiving Food Drive ended on Friday, Nov. 21. Transfiguration families and staff at the Tarrytown school donated. Items requested included canned gravy, canned corn, stuffing, cranberry sauce, corn bread, rolls & biscuits, white rice, canned yams, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese.
