Summary
District staff and students marked the first day of school with expressions of excitement; students voiced goals including graduating, earning A grades and attending CUNY Baruch.
The Westbury Union Free School District marked the first day of classes with district staff and students expressing excitement about the 2025–26 school year.
A district staff member said, "Today is the first day of school at the Westbury Union Free School District. As you can imagine, there's excitement throughout the district and I would say throughout the community. But don't just take my word for it. Why don't you see for yourself?" The staff member also addressed the district community later, saying, "Hi, Westbury family. We're so so excited to launch the 2025–26 school year."
Students who spoke during the recorded segment described academic goals for the year. One student said, "My goal is just to graduate high school and then get into CUNY Baruch, an accounting major." Other students gave goals tied to grades and stress management, including aiming for "All As," "to have 85 in all my classes," and to "not stress out so much." One student said they want "to be the top of my class."
Remarks in the recording were brief and focused on enthusiasm and personal academic targets; no formal actions, motions, or policy discussions were recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
