William Floyd Elementary School fifth-grader/rising sixth grader Emily Palmer was named the William Floyd School District Artist of the Month for June! Emily is an incredibly talented student whose artwork exemplifies a level of skill and detail that is present in artists much older than she is. Her passion for art is evident in the fact that, on top of her excellent work in her art classes at school, she also continues to create art in a studio she has at home.

Near the end of the school year, fourteen students representing all six of the district’s elementary schools and William Floyd Middle School participated in the annual Amazing Shake competition, which features students participating in simulated social situations designed to test their manners, discipline, respectfulness and social skills. Two students from each school participated in the districtwide competition with the top three highest-scoring students earning the opportunity to work at TJ’s Hero Shop for one final test to determine the overall champion.

Throughout the 2025-26 school year, the William Floyd High School Career and Technical Education (CTE) Medical Assisting program engaged in a partnership with Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU) to help provide seniors with a beneficial option for higher education in the field of healthcare.

Near the end of last school year, Nathaniel Woodhull Elementary School fourth-grade students in Mrs. Farra, Mrs. Foulkes, Mrs. Nocella and Mrs. Schiralli’s classes worked on a multi-faceted activity to help local dogs at the Town of Brookhaven Animal Shelter & Adoption Center find their forever homes. Working alongside their BOCES educational technology coach, Kristina Lomando, the students were tasked with creating persuasive infographics to convince potential pet owners to adopt a specific dog at the shelter.

For the third consecutive year, Mr. Melandro’s fifth-grade class celebrated an exciting tradition with a fun video marking the transition from Tangier Smith Elementary School to William Paca Middle School. As students make the symbolic “jump” to the next stage of their educational journey, the video captures the excitement of moving on while celebrating the memories they have made together.

The William Floyd School District is committed to the philosophy that parents/families are the first and foremost important teachers, because they are the constant in the child’s life and the most influential during the early years. The District recognizes that we must partner and work collaboratively with our parents/families if we want to empower them to become full partners in the education of their children, and assist children to reach their potential as learners.
