YALE Elementary School in an independent private school for grades Pre-K to 1st Grade. YALE elementary entered into a lease with Baldwin Union Free School District in the Fall 2014.

At a recent Board of Education meeting, the Uniondale District would be starting a Pre-K program to its residents in Fall 2015. They also mentioned that one of the options as to where to house this program is at Schubert Elementary in Baldwin, NY.

As you may understand, this news was quite disturbing to YALE Elementary parents. If Uniondale houses their Pre-K program in the Schubert building, what does that mean for YALE Elementary? We’ve been advised that YALE administration was unaware of this news until it was publicly announced at the Uniondale meeting. We need answers. We ask that you inform us, the parents, as well as the YALE administrators with detailed information as to your intentions of the Schubert building in Fall 2015. It is our understanding that YALE signed a three-year lease with Baldwin, so this is quite puzzling.

YALE is the home for many of our children, which are YALE students. The administrators and teachers are dedicated to providing our children the education that we want to invest in. We are simply asking that you provide us with your intentions so that the necessary adjustments can be made.

we love the school as it is. the families at Yale are paying for expected services. mixing 2 schools from different district will take away from the great services Yale currently provides for us and our families.

As a teacher at Y.A.L.E., I think it is extremely important that this all get resolved as quickly as possible. It is not fair for the staff, students, or parents to be left high and dry with no knowledge of this happening. We have young students who deserve the very best and by not sharing this information with our administration, all this causes is problems. It is not fair to leave all of us in the dark when we play such a big role in the lives of these children and families. Everyone at Y.A.L.E. deserves to be informed to the fullest so we can do the absolute most for our children.

As an educator at YALE, I have been committed to providing a high quality and enriching educational experience to every student. I would like to know that our students have a safe and protected environment in which to learn and thrive as they have done in the past. Any plans for this building should have been shared with administration so we can properly prepare for our students. Information MUST be provided as soon as possible.

We understand the need for Uniondale District to want to begin its own Pre-k program however they should find a location in Uniondale to do so. We cannot afford to jeopardize the safety and comfort of the surroundings for our children at the Shubert School.

Dear members of the Y.A.L.E. PTO I would like to state that as the content of the petition and subsequent letter provide we cannot disseminate out to the Baldwin U.F.S.D. There are a number of corrections and errors that exists that must be edited. There is also a number of incorrect facts included that must be omitted. I have sent letter detailing these corrections to Guylene and Lisa for further review. I look forward to assisting with a thoroughly reviewed petition & letter we can all unite behind.
