Nassau BOCES

Carman Road primary and elementary students lit up the stage on Friday, March 6, at their annual Spring Show.

This year’s show, “Go for the Gold,” was inspired by the upcoming World Cup and showcased students playing along with songs heard in stadiums during World Cup games. Under the direction of music teacher, Julie Scala, students and audience members participated in many soccer traditions: a beautiful performance of our national anthem, an audience "wave" that circled around the room and a beach ball toss around the auditorium between performances to keep the momentum going!

Congratulations to all of the performers, and thank you to our administrators and staff for their steadfast support.

A team of Nassau BOCES education leaders attended the Spring 2026 LEAD (Lead, Educate, Advocate, Develop) Long Island Conference on March 6 at the Marriott Melville Long Island, where they focused on strengthening and honing their leadership skills.

The theme of the conference was “The Portrait of a Leader” and featured Dr. Mary Hemphill, a human-centered leadership strategist who equips executives, educators and industry leaders with the tools to navigate complexity, drive innovation and lead with authenticity. With over 20 years of experience spanning education, corporate leadership, and entrepreneurship, she specializes in actionable leadership strategies that create lasting impact.

The group experienced a great day of reflection, collaboration and growth alongside leaders from across Long Island.

Preschool at Barry Tech students recently celebrated completing the first 100 days of school. The students had so much fun dressing up as 100-year-olds and parading through the building. Barry Tech high school students and staff helped to cheer these littlest students on as they celebrated being 100 days smarter.
