Jonas E. Salk Middle School teachers and administrators led the process of applying for Salk's designation of NYS School To Watch. Jonas E. Salk Middle School recently received the prestigious honor of being designated as a Middle Level NYS School To Watch.

The designation, a recognition by the New York State Essential Elements: Schools To Watch Program, recognizes schools that demonstrate continuous improvement and excel in academic excellence, developmental responsiveness, social equity, and organizational structure.

Salk Middle School was first designated by New York State as a School To Watch in 2018. Principal John Zampaglione went to Albany in May to receive Salk's certificate of re-designation after the application was approved by the board at the NYS Middle School Association.

The district congratulates Salk Middle School students and staff for achieving this distinction.
