"The secret to getting ahead is getting started." The first school bell of the year has officially rung at B-P. Teachers and staff were eager and ready to welcome students back for their first day of the year. We hope everyone has an amazing school year.
 

Broadalbin-Perth faculty and staff gathered in the Margaret Robin Blowers Auditorium Tuesday morning for the start of the 2024-25 school year. In addition to familiar remarks, employees were energized by a special guest speaker and a surprise activity to start their year with some lighthearted fun.

Every year, new teachers at Broadalbin-Perth are partnered with a veteran teacher who serves as their mentor for their first year in the district. Recently, B-P's newest teachers attended two days of training with their mentors, where they learned about the district's expectations, how to use available resources, and heard from key district office staff and leaders from the Broadalbin-Perth Teachers' Association.

Five students from Broadalbin-Perth received academic honors from the College Board National Recognition Programs. Seniors Josie Acuri, Jace Garrison, Nicholas Georgelos, and Laurel Mitchell all received the National Rural and Small Town Award. Senior Alexander Vogel received the First Generation Award.

The Broadalbin-Perth Board of Education is considering adopting a policy prohibiting students from using cellphones during the school day. Before board members vote on this policy Sept. 16, members of the school community are invited to learn more and submit their comments and questions. Read more in this letter from Superintendent of Schools Stephen Tomlinson.

Calendars are available in the school and district main offices, at two local banks, and at the Broadalbin Diner, Pizza Supreme, and Adirondack Country Market in the Village of Broadalbin.
