Please see the attached letter from Superintendent David Halloran regarding adjusted start and dismissal times for our elementary schools beginning this school year (2026-2027).
Why the change?
These schedule adjustments were made after a careful review of our district’s transportation operations. By better staggering dismissal times, we aim to eliminate lengthy bus wait times, improve transportation efficiency, and make daily drop-off and pick-up routines more convenient for families traveling between buildings.
Quick Schedule Look:
Boulevard Elementary: 8:25 a.m. - 3:10 p.m.
Kingsborough Elementary: 8:35 a.m. - 3:20 p.m.
Park Terrace Elementary: 8:35 a.m. - 3:20 p.m.
Pre-Kindergarten (both sites): 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. (Arrival from 8:45-9:00 a.m.)
More details regarding specific bus routes, pick-up, and drop-off times will be shared as transportation routes are finalized.
Thank you for your flexibility and continued partnership as we work to provide a safe, efficient, and predictable school day for all our scholars! We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday, September 8, 2026. 🍁

Art has the power to heal, inspire, and transform! 🎨✨
Our talented scholars from Boulevard and Gloversville Middle School (GMS) have poured their hearts into a truly inspiring project to bring comfort to families in need. They recently donated beautiful, original pieces of artwork to decorate the Albany Ronald McDonald House!
Thanks to a generous donation from the Gloversville Teachers Association, these masterpieces have been beautifully framed to brighten up the rooms. Best of all, any family staying at the house is encouraged to choose their favorite piece to take home with them as a permanent keepsake. 🏡❤️
We are so proud of our scholars! We hope their creativity and generous spirits bring bright smiles and encouragement to local children and families navigating difficult medical journeys.
