Dear Parents and Guardians:

I hope this letter finds you well and that you have enjoyed a restful and rejuvenating summer. As we gear up for the start of a new school year, I am filled with excitement and anticipation for the wonderful experiences and learning opportunities that lie ahead.

For those of you who have children returning to our schools this September and for those of you joining our community for the first time, we wish your families the best possible school year.

The 2023-2024 school year was particularly successful for our district. Both Division Avenue High School and MacArthur High School were named "Best High Schools" by US News & World Report. Our district was also recognized as a "Best Community for Music Education," and a recent graduate was named a Rhodes Scholar. These are just a few of the many accolades our students and faculty garnered throughout the year, illustrating the wonderful opportunities provided through our schools and serving as a testament to #SuccessatLPS.

We are also excited to welcome the newest member of our Central Office administrative team, Ms. Jaclyn Guidice, Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources. She comes to us from the North Merrick School District, where she served as the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction & Personnel. Ms. Guidice previously spent several years in Levittown as the Assistant Principal at Division Avenue High School. We are thrilled to welcome her back home!

We are grateful for the opportunity to work with your children and look forward to a productive and enjoyable school year. Together, we can make this year a memorable and successful one for all students.

Enjoy the remaining weeks of the summer!

With Warm Regards,

Todd Winch
Superintendent
