Our two-way dual language Immersion program is expanding for the 2025-26 school year!

Kids reading with teacher

Not only is today the Friday before a break, but it’s also Valentine’s Day AND the Rockland Read In, an event dedicated to celebrating the joy of reading. The classrooms of Suffern Central were filled today with parents, administrators, police officers, Rotarians, Board of Education members and local business owners who generously gave their time to read to our students. Thank you to everyone who participated. With a snowy weekend ahead, it’s the perfect time to cozy up with a good book!

Students make pennants with teachers' alma maters on them

The hallways of Suffern Middle School have gotten a bit of a makeover recently in the form of brightly colored street signs and flags lining the walls. Intersecting hallways have been renamed Mission Street, Proactive Pkwy or Win Win Way, a nod to the Leader In Me's "7 Habits,” which are woven throughout the curriculum. "We use this language in our Leader in Me lessons and it's a nice reminder for the students to see it every day as they walk to class," says Assistant Principal Jennie Narcisco.

Girl displays her science research project.

Second graders in Ms. Bean's literacy enrichment class are hard at work on their presentations for next week's Curriculum Night at RP Connor. The topic: famous scientists! Each student chose a scientist—everyone from Marie Curie to Mike Brown to Jane Goodall to Jill Tarten—and then did a deep dive into their contributions to the world, organizing their findings in a Google Slides presentation.
