First Day Feels! 🐾

Teacher hugs. Fist bumps. A little encouragement when it was needed. Families walking to school. Managing the combination locks. Freshmen on the hunt with their Orientation Leaders. Lots of smiles and laughter. News 12 on campus. And yes, even a little dancing in the rain. ☔️

It was a great first day to be a Panther. Welcome back, Pleasantville!

🔨 🧹 While school was out, our Facilities team was all in!

It was a busy summer across Pleasantville Schools as our team worked from building to building getting everything ready for a new year. From the major job of removing an underground oil tank at PHS to roof repairs, classroom improvements, new theater lighting, refinished gym floors, painting, repairs, deep cleaning and plenty more, there was work happening everywhere.

And much of it was done by our own Facilities staff, who tackled projects large and small while completing the countless behind the scenes jobs it takes to have three schools ready to welcome back students and staff.

A huge thank you to the entire team for a summer of hard work and for taking such great care of our schools. We’re ready for our students on September 1! 💚🐾

The Class of 2027 is about to get started, but we still have more of the Class of 2026 to celebrate – and our Panthers Beyond PHS series continues with Justin Mancuso! 🎓🐾

This fall, Justin will attend North Carolina State University, where he'll study Civil Engineering.

During his time at PHS, Justin embraced every opportunity—from producing daily broadcasts with The Daily Panther to serving as a captain of the Cross Country and Track & Field teams. Along the way, he developed the leadership, perseverance, and teamwork skills that will serve him well in college and beyond.

When asked what advice he'd give younger Panthers, Justin shared:

"Take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way... Work hard, enjoy the time you have at PHS, and make memories with the people around you because the four years go by faster than you think."

Best of luck at NC State, Justin!

🐾 Pleasantville is thrilled to announce some great news about the leadership of our schools!

The Board of Education has announced its intention to appoint Dr. Eric Lutinski as Superintendent of Schools under a three year contract through June 2029.

In just over a year, Dr. Lutinski has earned tremendous confidence across Pleasantville through his experience, steady leadership and genuine connection to our schools and community. We are extremely gratified that he will continue leading our schools and the important work ahead. 💚

We invite you to read the full announcement on our website, www.pleasantvilleschools.org

☀️ We’re back, Pleasantville! 🐾💚

Superintendent’s Conference Day began on a beautiful morning in the PHS front circle with plenty of hugs, smiles and catching up on summer.

As the program began, BoE President John Vamossy shared the community’s gratitude, telling faculty and staff, “You are the special sauce that makes the Pleasantville Schools so great.” Superintendent Lutinski built excitement for the year ahead and reminded everyone of something at the heart of Pleasantville: we are a community, and we support one another.

We were also thrilled to celebrate nine faculty and staff members who are marking an incredible 25 years of service and gave a warm Pleasantville welcome to our newest colleagues. 👏🎉

Dr. Lutinski concluded his remarks with a nod to Ted Lasso and that familiar yellow BELIEVE sign, a fitting reminder of the strength of our team and what’s possible when we believe in one another.

Here’s to a great year ahead - and we can't wait to welcome our students back next week!🐾

There’s no better way to welcome our newest educators than by introducing them to the people, places and community that make Pleasantville such a special place to learn, work and belong. 💚🍎

New Teacher Orientation gave our newest Panthers, including four Pleasantville graduates returning to their roots, a chance to meet District administrators and building leaders, learn more about our schools and the District, get to know one another and share a little about themselves as they prepare for the year ahead.

One highlight of the day was a bus and walking tour of the Village. 🚌 The group passed each of our schools and Parkway Field, stopped by the Jacob Burns Film Center, walked Wheeler Avenue and took plenty of notes on the best places to grab a bite along the way.

Behind the wheel was a true Pleasantville staple, the beloved Earl, while Zach Osowski took the reins as tour guide from the now-retired Gregg Fonde, sharing some history, local knowledge and plenty of Panther pride.

Throughout the day, the conversation kept coming back to community and the connections between our schools and our village, the people who make Pleasantville what it is and the sense of belonging that runs through it all.

Our new teachers shared again and again how lucky they feel to be here. We feel just as lucky to have them.

Welcome to Pleasantville! 💚🐾

Our Panthers Beyond PHS series continues with Adrienne Grunspan!

After graduation, Adrienne will spend a gap year at CLI Conservatory before attending The Ohio State University, where she plans to study dance and possibly vocal performance.

Throughout her time at PHS, Adrienne immersed herself in chorus, Camerata, music theory, and the school musical, while pursuing dance and voice outside of school. She credits chorus with teaching her the importance of community and strengthening her love of singing.

When asked what she's most excited about in this next chapter, Adrienne shared:

"To be doing the thing I love most and making a career out of it!"

We wish Adrienne all the best as she follows her passion.
