Uniondale Union Free School District

This week Uniondale's AP Ambassadors traveled to our state's capital in Albany, NY, to participate in the College Board’s AP Lobby Day. These students met with state representatives to advocate for sustained and increased funding for Advanced Placement programs. The focus of the visit was clear: Closing the access gap. By securing proper funding, we ensure that rigorous, college-level curriculum is accessible to all students, regardless of their background or zip code. Seeing our students transition from the classroom to the halls of government to fight for their peers is a testament to the leadership being fostered in our district. @collegeboard #Advocacy #APLobbyDay #UniondaleSchools #EducationalLeadership #NewYorkEducation

Dear Uniondale Community,
All are invited to attend this special concert that features some Jazz legends. This is your chance to attend a world-class Jazz concert in your backyard. Purchase your tickets now and bring a friend.

Dear Uniondale Community,

I am pleased to share that tomorrow, Wednesday, February 25, 2026, our schools will be open as regularly scheduled. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our grounds crew and facilities team for their hard work.

We have been in communication with Town of Hempstead leadership regarding the roadways surrounding our school buildings. That said, it is still likely that road conditions will be challenging tomorrow morning. Please plan accordingly and use caution as you travel, as safety for all is our top priority. Our buses may experience delays in some neighborhoods, and we appreciate your patience.

Thank you, as always, for your partnership, your patience, and your shared commitment to keeping our students safe — we look forward to welcoming all of our students and staff back tomorrow.

Due to inclement weather conditions, the Board of Education Action Meeting originally scheduled for tomorrow, February 24, 2026, has been postponed. The next scheduled Action Meeting will now take place on March 10, 2026. We apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding. The safety of our community and staff remains our top priority.

Dear Uniondale Community,

In light of the recent severe weather and the extensive cleanup efforts required to make our campuses safe, all schools in the district will be closed tomorrow, February 24th.

Our primary priority is the safety of our students, staff, and families. While buildings are closed, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to our Facilities Department and Grounds Crew. These dedicated individuals have been out braving the elements to begin the massive task of snow clearing, ensuring we can return to our routines as soon as possible.

Please note the following for tomorrow:

• No Remote Instruction: There will be no formal remote learning or required assignments, however, we encourage all scholars to take this time to catch up on a good book.  Remember,  readers are leaders! 

Please stay safe, stay warm, and we look forward to seeing everyone back at school soon.

Sincerely,

Monique Darrisaw-Akil, Ed.D.

Superintendent of Schools 

Due to the inclement weather and in the interest of safety for all students and staff, the Uniondale School District will be closed on Monday, February 23, 2026. All classes and activities are cancelled for the day. Stay safe and warm!
