Avon Avenue School's staff was fully prepared for first-day issues and made sure everyone was registered and going to the right classrooms.That's where some Pre-K newbies seemed quite happy with their new surroundings and quite eager to tell us so.Parents were happy to drop them off and say "See you later."From Pre-K to high school, Superintendent Leon says he's determined to see SAT scores soar, absenteeism plummet, and student achievement expand.

"Our numbers over the last three decades are the highest they've ever been and we want to keep increasing that for 2023," Leon said. One part of that plan was recruiting Ryan Silver to lead Mandela Elementary. A former principal in the South Bronx, Silver is elated to return to the city where he was born and raised."One, academic excellence. We will be known for prowess in this city," Silver said.
