No. This is not a new tax. It is a renewal of the existing one-mill operating millage that Nassau County property owners are already paying. A “YES” vote would continue the existing one-mill operating millage for four years without increasing the millage rate.

The Millage Referendum is a ballot renewal that allows local voters to invest directly in the daily operations of Nassau County schools. Because basic funding from the state legislature is inadequate to cover standard operating expenses, local school districts face severe budget constraints. Renewing this existing voter-approved millage fills these critical financial gaps. By securing these local funds, we protect our classrooms from budget shortfalls, allowing the district to keep the focus entirely on student success, providing competitive teacher and staff pay, continuing to improve safety, art teachers in every elementary school, and supporting athletics district-wide.

Be in school. Be on time. All day. Every day.
Missing just 2 days each month can add up to about 10% of the school year. Help your child make every school day count by building strong attendance habits all year long.

When students are in class, on time and ready to learn, they have more opportunities to build skills, connect with teachers and classmates, and stay on track for success.

Arts in Education Week: Kindergartners Make Their Mark!

Our Kindergarten Trailblazers celebrated Dot Day by letting their creativity shine! Students were given a simple dot and the freedom to color, design, and transform it any way they wanted.

From bold colors to unique designs, each dot became a reflection of the creativity and individuality of its young artist.

We love reminding our Trailblazers that there is no one right way to create—just like there is no one right way to blaze your trail!

Arts in Education Week at Wildlight!

Our Trailblazers in 2nd-4th grade are using their creativity to make a meaningful difference!

As part of the Oliver Patch Project, students designed special patches for children who are battling cancer. Their colorful, encouraging artwork will be sent to hospitals across America, bringing smiles, hope, and a little extra joy to hundreds of children.

What a beautiful reminder that art has the power to connect, encourage, and make a difference beyond our classroom walls! We are so proud of our Trailblazers for using their creativity to spread kindness and brighten someone’s day.

Blazing a Trail of Excellence—one creative act of kindness at a time!

Arts in Education Week is here!

Our 4th grade Trailblazers are blending history, creativity, and hands-on artistry!

Students learned about ancient jewelry making and explored traditional sewing and weaving techniques before putting their new skills to work. Their challenge? Create their very own beaded keychains!

We love seeing our Trailblazers learn by creating, experimenting, and making something uniquely their own. Experiences like these remind us that the arts help students think creatively, build confidence, and blaze their own trail of excellence!
