This summer, Anastasia Kokonis, Assistant Principal, Nassau BOCES Barry Tech, had the opportunity to meet with aspiring school counseling students at Hofstra University and share information about who we are and what we do at Nassau BOCES.

The students were eager to learn more about our programs, asked thoughtful questions, and were incredibly welcoming. They even enjoyed our Nassau BOCES swag!

A special thank you to Gina Christel, Adjunct Instructor of Counseling and Mental Health Professions, Hofstra University, for the invitation and for providing this wonderful opportunity to connect with future school counselors. It was a pleasure sharing our work and highlighting the many opportunities available through Nassau BOCES, including our Career and Technical Education programs.

This year, the Barry Tech Child Care Skills class partnered with Jerusalem Avenue Elementary School for shared learning experiences. Our high school students facilitated read-alouds and crafts with kindergarteners and first-graders focused on self-confidence and respect. Most recently, Child Care Skills students assisted fifth-grade students during their field trip to Commerce Plaza, a simulated business community that promotes an understanding of business and economics. This collaboration allowed our high school students the opportunity to build technical skills and gain hands-on experience while offering mentorship opportunities for elementary students. Together, our schools are strengthening the sense of community within Nassau BOCES.

Congratulations to the class of 2026! A certificate ceremony was held for our Barry Tech students earlier this month.

A pinning ceremony was held at Barry Tech on June 3 to recognize 59 students in the Barry Tech, Hicksville UFSD In-District, Roosevelt UFSD In-District and Valley Stream CHSD In-District Certified Nurse Assisting classes who successfully completed their programs.

A pinning ceremony is a symbolic tradition in the nursing world that welcomes newly graduated or soon-to-be-graduated nurses into the nursing profession. It marks the completion of educational requirements leading to licensure and officially initiates students into nursing fellowships. While not a graduation ceremony in the traditional sense, it’s often seen as more personally meaningful than a university graduation for nursing students. Our CTE (Career and Technical Education) nurse educators feel it is especially important to honor our Certified Nurse Assisting students with this tradition as they begin their journey into healthcare.
