Small Bites. Big Ideas. 🍎 | PBL Meets the NYS Portrait of a Graduate
What if we started developing Portrait of a Graduate competencies from the very first moments of a PBL experience?
Whether students are exploring a mystery, entering a story, experiencing a challenge, or responding to a real-world need, entry events do more than spark curiosity!
They create opportunities for students to think critically, communicate, innovate, and consider perspectives beyond their own.
💡 The NYS Portrait of a Graduate isn’t something we add to PBL. It’s something we intentionally develop throughout the experience—starting with the launch!

Dear WCSD Community,
The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority. Today, I sent a letter to our state and federal government representatives, requesting that federal and/or state funding be made available immediately to support the health, welfare and safety of our students. This funding could help the District provide a School Resource Officer in each of our buildings, and enhance our mental health services. Please see the full letter here: bit.ly/WCSD_10_6_26Letter
As always, thank you for your continued support of our District.
Sincerely,
Dr. Dwight Bonk
Superintendent of Schools @drbonkwcsd
Dr. Bonk and Trustee Dr. Shuchat joined Vassar Road ES 2nd graders at a flag raising ceremony this week. As part of their American symbols unit, students learned about the American flag as a symbol. Custodian Mr. Jason demonstrated how the flag is raised each day and tested their knowledge of it! After the flag was raised, they all said the Pledge of Allegiance and sang the National Anthem. What a special morning! @drbonkwcsd

Field Hockey remembers our beloved coach and math teacher Kerri Roger today as we take on Pearl River in our Play For A Purpose Memorial Game. 💙🏑💙 @WCSDAthletic @WCSDEmpowers
Students in our high school Sports and Entertainment Marketing classes recently visited Sports Illustrated Stadium in NJ for an insider’s look at the New York Red Bulls. Students met with team executives to explore the wide range of careers involved in running a professional soccer organization—including legal, operations, marketing, and sales. The experience gave students a firsthand understanding of the day-to-day business operations behind a major sports franchise. We’re very proud to offer these opportunities to our students! @drbonkwcsd @WCSDCTE @NewYorkRedBulls @SI_Stadium
