Welcome to the Mathematics Department
The mission of the mathematics department is to provide our students with a robust education in mathematics that will give them the skills to succeed in a global community.
To accomplish this mission, the teachers of Nyack will collaborate to revise and update curriculum, share best practices, and incorporate technology. To enhance students' experience in mathematics, we will integrate the subject to real life experiences and to other disciplines.

Our Purpose: Intentional Technology Use in Elementary School
At Nyack Public Schools, technology is used intentionally—as a tool to enhance learning, not replace hands-on instruction. Every digital program and device-based experience is selected to support New York State learning standards, enrich classroom teaching, and help students grow academically within a balanced instructional day.
Our elementary classrooms prioritize strong instruction, meaningful relationships, and active student engagement. Technology is one part of that experience and is used thoughtfully to support learning goals while maintaining developmentally appropriate classroom practices.

A letter from Dr. LRG was shared district-wide with families and staff with commemoration to the 25 year observance of 9/11.
Friday, September 11th, marks our nation's 25th observance of 9/11. In Nyack Public Schools, we will pause for thoughtful moments throughout the day... to teach, to remember, to recognize, and to honor the victims, their families, our first responders, our neighbors and alumni who will forever be in our hearts as everyday heroes.
In commemoration of this 9/11 anniversary year, our fall varsity athletic teams will be honoring Welles Remy Crowther - "The Man in the Red Bandana" - and Nyack alumni who lost their lives on 9/11 or due to 9/11-related illness:
● Welles Crowther
● Stacey Sennas McGowan
● Harry Wanamaker Jr.
● Jon Albert
● Ross Dailey
● Joseph Stach
May the memories we share be an inspiration of courage,compassion and the community we strive to be for our children and each other.

Dr. Lizzette Ruiz-Giovinazzi, Superintendent of Schools, and the Nyack Public Schools (NPS) Board of Education are pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Crystal Chandler as the next Principal of Nyack High School, effective July 1, 2026.
Dr. Chandler joins the NPS team with an impressive record of cultivating positive school culture, strengthening instructional leadership, advancing equitable outcomes for diverse student populations, and ensuring all students have access to the learning opportunities they need to thrive in school and become the best versions of themselves in life. Her belief that all students should be known, supported, and positioned for success is clearly aligned with the district’s mission and vision.
New York State Math League
NYS Math League is a club in which students individually compete in math contests. The math contests give students an educationally enriching opportunity to participate in an academically-oriented activity and to gain recognition for mathematical achievement. The questions cover a variety of difficulty ranges and involve topics of interest to students. The key is to encourage students to enjoy a challenge and to learn from it to find problem-solving discussions stimulating. If you are interested in participating in the NYS Math League, please email Ms. Tatti @ etatti@nyackschools.org or speak with your teacher to obtain a permission slip. Our first competition is on Tuesday October 18, 2022 after school in room 312. All students are welcome! The next two meets will be during lunch on Tuesday, November 15 and Tuesday, December 13.
