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. 🍁
Please read the full attached letter for more details.

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.

Every single one of our award winners got to take a trip to the prize table to pick out something special as a reward for their hard work, kindness, and dedication all year long. A special shoutout goes to our "Strive for 5" grand prize winners who went home with the ultimate rewards, including TVs, brand-new bikes, and gift cards! 🚲📺💳
🎥 Missed it? The recording of the live stream is available right on our Facebook page!

We are officially ONE day away from summer vacation! The 2025-26 school year is almost in the books, but the 4th-grade hallway at Boulevard is still bringing maximum energy. ⚡️🎉
Today, Ms. Forsythe, Ms. Hemstreet, Mrs. Lomanto, and Ms. Lomanto turned up the heat and handed out the legendary 4th Grade Dragon Superlatives! 🏆✨
From our ultimate high-fivers and classroom comedians to future world leaders and tech gurus, these scholars have shown true Dragon pride every single day. They didn't just wrap up 4th grade, they totally crushed it! 💪🐉
To our amazing scholars: Soak up every second of your second-to-last day! Finish strong, have the best summer ever, and get ready to absolutely crush 5th grade! 🚀
What a memorable way to count down the final days of the school year. While the weather didn't cooperate for our tri-school Field Day, our scholars, staff, and volunteers didn't let the rain stop them from competing and having fun during our final week together.
Instead of canceling, everyone adapted quickly to the weather. Our scholars stayed focused, pushed through each event with great determination, and supported their teammates from start to finish.
A big thank you to our PE teachers, staff, and parent volunteers who worked hard behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. These moments capture exactly what it looks like when our scholars give it their all!

Today marked our very last Principal’s Pride of the school year at Boulevard, and we went out in style! For our final celebration before summer, we brought all of our grades together as one big school family to honor our final round of outstanding scholars.
But this morning carried some extra special meaning. It officially marked the final Principal’s Pride ever for our incredible 5th-grade scholars! 📜

Thank you to all of our scholars, teachers, and staff for making this year’s final principals' pride so unforgettable. We are almost to summer! ☀️😎
We want to give a massive congratulations to our amazing elementary scholars who crushed their reading goals during this year's PARP (Pick a Reading Partner) program!
Hosted by the Gloversville Elementary PTA, PARP challenges our pre-K through grade 5 scholars to read for at least 20 minutes every day with a partner. These three classrooms went above and beyond, earning themselves a well-deserved celebration:
Jenn Clayburn’s 2nd Grade Class at Kingsborough
Jill Thaisz’s 2nd Grade Class at Park Terrace
Amy VanNostrand’s 3rd Grade Class at Boulevard
Thank you to the Gloversville Elementary PTA for organizing this fantastic month-long initiative, to all the reading partners at home, and a huge shoutout to our dedicated scholars. Keep up the phenomenal reading! 📚✨
