Kenia and Randy were selected to represent Junior Achievement from over 100 applicants from schools across the metropolitan region. Kenia and Randy have worked extensively with Junior Achievement’s High School Heroes program, teaching lessons about careers, community, family, and finance to students in Amityville’s elementary schools. They also took part in the Career Day Program and the Finance Park Program which included a financial literacy simulation with students from other Long Island high schools. “I am very proud of Kenia and Randy,” said Mr. Edward Plaia, Principal of Amityville Memorial High School. “They are both outstanding leaders and role models to their peers, and will be exemplary ambassadors for Junior Achievement.” Junior Achievement of New York is an organization serving students in over 240 schools in New York City, Long Island, and the Lower Hudson Valley. The organization’s mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed, imparting the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their futures, and make smart academic and economic decisions. Junior Achievement Ambassadors are a select group of student volunteers who promote Junior Achievement by sharing their Junior Achievement experiences with business and community leaders in their local areas. Back to Top Amityville Teacher Implements Innovative Teaching Technique (November 2021)— Amityville Union Free School District’s October Teacher of The Month Nominee has garnered a lot of attention due to her unique and innovative teaching method. Ms. Schgweigert’s Modern Classroom gives students a more individualized approach to learning. Ms. Schweigert faced the inevitable challenge of her students learning at different paces throughout each lesson. As every teacher experiences, she found herself having to repeat key components of the lesson to cater to those who needed extra instruction, while those who had already grasped it were ready to move on. To differentiate instruction within the classroom and better maximize both her and her students’ time, Ms. Schweigert took the liberty of filming herself teaching each lesson over the summer. This way, after her initial introduction of each lesson, the students are free to watch the remainder of the instruction on their own. They are able to pause, rewind, and replay as much as they individually need so that they can get the personalized instruction they need. It also permits Ms. Schweigert to give individualized attention to students throughout each class session. “I think this is a great contemporary method of teaching,” said Mr. Edward Plaia, Principal of Amityville Memorial High School. “We are aware that our students have their own way of learning and absorbing information. It is our job as educators to be able to recognize each of our student’s needs. Everyone learns differently and at a different pace!” In addition to asynchronous video learning, students gain encouragement from each other through a system of magnets on the classroom whiteboard. Each student has their own magnet that is placed in a particular section of the whiteboard to signify their progress throughout a given lesson. For every lesson, there is a Must Do section, a Should Do section and an Aspire section. Students earn their grades as they complete each section. Back to Top Amityville Memorial High School’s New Gym and Basketball Court Dedicated to Beloved Coaches (November 2021)—On Monday, November 8, 2021, Amityville Union Free School District held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the District’s new High School gymnasium in honor of Coach Claude Byer and the late Coach Fred Williams. The gym was dedicated in honor of Fred Williams and the basketball court itself was named in honor of Claude Byer. The Amityville Memorial High School gymnasium has been at the center of some of the District’s greatest athletic successes. Amityville’s most notable athletic success story is that of Shelton Jones, Class of 1984, whose incredible basketball skills landed him a spot on multiple NBA teams. In his recorded comments for the ceremony, Shelton attributed his earlier achievements in basketball, and his appreciation and commitment to the hard work and perseverance that enabled him to play at the NBA level, to Coach Williams. “It was a memorable event for our District, the Amityville community, and the friends and families of Coach Claude Byer and Coach Fred Williams,” said Dr. Edward Fale, Interim Superintendent of Amityville Union Free School District. “I want to thank everyone who joined with us at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for showing their support to these two outstanding individuals who have contributed so much to the youth in our community. With the dedication of the new gym and basketball court, Coach Claude Byer and Coach Fred Williams’ names will forever be a part of the history and greatness of this District and our award-winning athletic programs. They are the gold standard of what our educators and coaches strive to be every day in our schools. It will be an evening that we will long remember with fondness and pride here in Amityville.” On the outside façade of the new gym, the sign proclaims, Fred Williams Memorial Gym. On the basketball court, the wording, Claude Byer Court, is emblazoned in the hardwood. Family members of Fred Williams, who passed away at an all too young age in 1987 and Claude and his wife, Amelia Byer, attended the event. Congratulatory remarks were spoken by Board of Education President Dr. Terry Fulton; Mr. Evan Farkas, Director of Athletics, Physical Education and Health; Mr. Fred Thompson, Class of 1982; Ms. Vallene Henderson, Class of 1998; and Ms. Cherese Hinckson, Class of 1997 and a former Amityville Girls Basketball Coach. The Amityville Cheerleaders also performed at the ceremony. Back to Top Amityville Memorial High School’s GSA Club Celebrates National Coming Out Day (October 2021)—On Monday, October 11, the GSA (Gay/Straight Alliance) from Amityville Memorial High School participated in an informational tabling event to celebrate National Coming Out Day. The National Coming Out Day is an annual LGBTQ+ awareness day to support lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in “coming out of the closet.” “The Gay/Straight Alliance plays a significant role in our District and the greater Amityville community,” noted Mr. Edward Plaia, Principal of Amityville Memorial High School. “This event has helped our entire student body and staff better understand the challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community. It was especially gratifying to see the support shown to members of the gay/Straight Alliance. Activities such as this help us create an environment where all our students can feel safe, understood and supported.” The GSA members provided staff with rainbow and transgender ribbons, bracelets, and stickers with affirming quotes, as well as resources to provide a more supportive culture for the LGBTQ+ youth in the school community which is consistent with our goal of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in our school. Throughout the day, students and staff discussed ways to show support, and the impact words can have, both positive and negative, when interacting with the LGBTQ+ community. “It was a fun yet informative day for everyone,” said Kimmberly Marrero, Social Worker and Club Advisor of Amityville Memorial High School. It is very important that all students and staff of Amityville Memorial High School feel respected, included, and heard.” Back to Top Unity Day at Amityville Memorial High School (October 2021)—On Monday, October 20, Amityville Memorial High School celebrated Unity Day in the school’s gymnasium. Unity Day is a campaign created by PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center. It was founded in 2006 to actively create social change that would help put a stop to bullying in youth. Everyone was encouraged to wear orange on this day to visibly show that they are against bullying, and together they are united! “It was a great day for students and staff. We are so proud of our students who demonstrate outstanding character, not only today but every day,” said Mr. Edward Plaia, Principal of Amityville Memorial High School. “I take great pride in the diversity of our school. I believe it is one of our many strengths. Everyone showed excellent leadership, teamwork, unity, and kindness which is what this day is all about.” Several of Amityville Memorial High School’s clubs designed inclusive activities that students could participate in while they learned more about the particular club and each other. Some of the clubs that participated in Unity Day were the Art Club, the Black Student Union, GSA Club, Jazz Band, Hispanic Heritage Club, Student Government, and the National Honor Society, to name a few. Each of these clubs engaged students with different themes and activities, including face painting, pumpkin painting, musical chairs, Jenga, and poster designing. Each of these activities was designed to bond students, build better relationships, incorporate inclusiveness, and increase positivity. “Unity Day is a day to show kindness, acceptance, and inclusion for all. In Amityville, we are united and this is a day where we can publicly demonstrate our inclusiveness and acceptance of everyone regardless of gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation,” said Mr. John Cardone, Acting Assistant Principal for Amityville Memorial High School. “Wearing orange today is a visible reminder and message that no one should experience bullying or feel isolated. We are stronger together.” Back to Top See All 2021-2022 Course Offerings Videos 2021-2022 Day Cycle Calendar 20-21 Bus Schedule and Stops AMHS 2021-2022 Course Catalog AMHS 2021-2022 Catálogo de Cursos Secundarios del Año Escolar Calendar Cohort Calendar Directions DMV Practice Permit Test Extracurricular Activities Extra Help Schedule Guidance Department Health Careers Opportunity Program Stony Brook University Partnership Library Library Home Page Method Test Prep Parent Resources School Newspaper Sports Hall of Fame Memory Lane Application Staff List and Email Directory Tech Bus Schedule Transition Guide for Special Education Students and Parents Virtual Backpack Current News View News » Upcoming Events December 16, 2021 AMHS Winter Concert and Art Showcase 7 p.m. December 17, 2021 AMHS/EWMMS Second Quarter Progress Reports January 21, 2022 AMHS/EWMMS Second Quarter Ends January 25–28, 2022 Regents Exams February 17, 2022 AMHS Black History Month Celebration District Board of Education Schools Departments Parents/Students Athletics Staff Calendars Selecteer een taal▼ Saturday, November 27, 2021 HOME | DISCLAIMER | COPYRIGHT | VENDOR NOTICE | NY PROJECT HOPE COVID - 19 | SITEMAP | ©2021 Amityville Union Free School District 150 Park Avenue | Amityville, NY 11701 | Phone (631) 565-6000 Powered by SyntaxNY.com
