Welcome Parents!
The Wallkill Central School District recognizes the important role of parents in the learning community. We share a common commitment to supporting students’ academic pursuits and ensuring their successful achievement. We subscribe to the requirements set forth in state and federal regulations for the purposeful involvement of parents in their children’s education. To these ends, the District’s mission is to enhance the educational programs of its student population through an active, productive parent-school partnership. Its goal is to increase the constructive, ongoing involvement of parents in the education of their children.
Parents are encouraged to become involved in their child's education by attending parent workshops, Open Houses, parent conferences, parent organization meetings and volunteering. Please feel free to stop by and visit your child's school, but please remember to stop in the main office first. The Wallkill Central School District strives for an active partnership between school and home.
