Downing has embraced Malverne's Portrait of a Graduate with a monthly focus aligned to each attribute. October was dedicated to “Digitally Fluent,” and our goal was to align our practices within the school environment to this very important skill. Our students demonstrated Digital Fluency in a variety of ways and were honored at a Portrait of Success Awards Ceremony. Additionally, bulletin boards were created by teachers to honor those students and are proudly on display!

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Lorna Lewis visited our Universal Pre-K students at Nottingham Academy and Tutor Time of East Rockaway and saw firsthand how this amazing program is preparing our three- and four-year-old children for kindergarten next year. The program, which is led by certified teachers, emphasizes using play for learning and introduces students to the basics of letters, numbers, colors and phonemic awareness. Our students have fun while developing large and fine motor skills and learning essential social values and practices, including sharing, respect and teamwork.
