It’s hard to believe that we are already starting month two of the school year, where has this time gone? As students, teachers, faculty, and staff begin to settle into the school year, I am excited to announce and introduce SANY Digital Curriculum - an online educational resource to help ensure our students receive the optimal learning experience that meets their educational needs.

SANY Digital Curriculum was developed by SANY District Personnel, Deans, and teachers who collaborated to develop a structure that would meet the needs of our students, and families. With over 1,700 videos, students in grades Kindergarten through 8th, will be able to find educational resources in the following categories.

• Skills
• Listening and Learning

• Math

These incredible resources will help your students not only build their confidence, but also become prepared, and successful in their academic careers and beyond.
