NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. (July 29, 2019) – The City School District of New Rochelle has appointed Gregory W. Kern as the new Assistant Superintendent for Business. The Board of Education approved Kern’s appointment at its meeting tonight. He officially begins the position with the School District on or before October 1, 2019.

Kern currently serves as the Assistant Superintendent for Finance at the Newburgh Enlarged City School District, a position he has held since 2016. He has also served as Assistant Superintendent for Administration at the Enlarged City School District of Middletown; and as the Assistant Superintendent for Business at the Washingtonville Central School District. In addition, he has served in administrative positions with the Greater Southern Tier BOCES, Amherst (NY) Central School District, Newark (NY) Central School District and Medina (NY) Central School District.

He has overseen several major bond construction programs including one for $100 million for the Elmira City School District while he was at BOCES and a recently passed $257 million bond project in Newburgh.

“We are looking forward to Mr. Kern bringing his extensive administrative background, leading business offices within school districts for the past 16 years,” said Interim Superintendent Dr. Magda Parvey. “This experience demonstrates that he is an excellent fit for New Rochelle as our next Assistant Superintendent for Business.”

In his latest position in Newburgh, Kern oversees a general fund budget of $282 million in a school district with a student population of 11,500.

“Mr. Kern has the experience of working in large school districts and will help continue the District’s efforts to maximize value for our taxpayers while also prioritizing education for our students,” Board of Education President Amy Moselhi said.

Kern is a member of the Newburgh school district superintendent’s cabinet, working closely with other assistant superintendents as well as curriculum, pupil services and human resources.

“I am excited to come to the City School District of New Rochelle and join this leadership team,” Kern said. “I am eager to get started and support the District’s efforts to remain fiscally sensitive while providing great educational value for our students.”

Message from the Principal

Dear Families,

I am excited and honored to lead this school as we move deeper into the 2019-2020 school year. Your child's education is our top priority. Middle school is a short stop on a long journey towards school success. Our commitment at Isaac E. Young is to provide a robust middle school learning experience in a caring environment that will empower students to see themselves as independent learners, problem solvers, innovative thinkers and next generation courageous leaders prepared to pursue their best life in a global society. We will encourage students to assert agency, to build positive peer relationships, to push their learning edge, to find and follow their voice, to resolve conflict in healthy and appropriate ways, and to take advantage of all that middle school offers.

High standards and expectations for every student in regard to academic performance, ownership of behavior, civic responsibility, and positive respectful interactions with others are paramount in our school. It is with pride that we hold these high standards and ask each of our students to commit to and hold themselves accountable to these expectations.

Our team is available to support families should you need assistance with anything related to your child's school success. Please feel free to contact a member of our leadership team, support staff, or teachers.

In partnership towards building a remarkable school to learn and grow,

Tawanda Robinson, Ed. D.

Attendance

At Isaac, we want and need your children to be in school everyday. The impact of missing school can be detrimental to a child's outcomes. Across the country, more than 8 million students are missing so many days of school that they are at risk for school failure. "Chronic absence — missing 10 percent or more of school days due to absence for reasons that are excused or unexcused can translate into third-graders unable to master reading, sixth-graders failing subjects and ninth-graders dropping out of high school" (Attendance Works, 2019).

We all want the best for our children. But sometimes, life happens. Children will get sick, there will be family emergencies, and children will most certainly have doctor's and dental appointments. We also understand, that sometimes these events are beyond our control. We ask that your child return to school with a note should they miss school due to an excused reason such as sickness, family emergency, inclement weather, or medical appointments. We ask that whenever possible, family vacations and travel be scheduled during the summer and school vacation times. Please contact the attendance office or your child's school counselor for more information.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE MATTERS!

School Counseling Department

Middle school is an exciting yet challenging time for students, their parents and teachers. According to the American School Counselor Association, during this transition from childhood to adolescence, middle school students are characterized by a need to explore a variety of interests, connecting their learning in the classroom to its practical application in life and work; high levels of activity coupled with frequent fatigue due to rapid growth. During the middle years, adolescents are searching for their own identity as they begin to grow more mature. At Isaac E. Young, the school counselors support students and families in the areas of academics, career and college readiness and social emotional development. School counselors are here as a resource for students. Please contact the school counseling office should you need assistance
