In PBL projects, our students take an active role in the process: they ask questions, develop designs, and see their projects come to life.  Partnerships inside and outside our schools take learning to new levels.

You’ll find game schedules, concert and theater performances, honor society inductions, and more. 

We are continuing our work on next year’s budget, and we welcome your questions and comments: email us at budget.wcsdny.org, and thank you for your continued support as we “Build our Future Together.” 

With much gratitude,
Dr. Dwight Bonk
