Dear Garden City School Community,

I am delighted to share that at last evening’s Board of Education meeting, the Board appointed Ms. Allison Robb as the new assistant principal of Stratford School.

Ms. Robb joins Garden City from the Bethpage Union Free School District, where she served for two years as principal of the Extended School Year program. In that role, she oversaw staffing for teachers, teaching assistants, aides and monitors, coordinated class placements, ensured compliance with IEP goals and maintained close communication with service providers.

In addition, Ms. Robb led Bethpage’s Golden Eagles Summer Academy, where she developed and staffed a program that provided students with access to grade-level content and enrichment opportunities. She also served as an administrative intern, creating resources for districtwide initiatives, and was a leader in providing professional development to staff, developing and facilitating courses in areas such as responsive classrooms, optimizing elementary instruction and creative math strategies for teachers.

Ms. Robb’s background as both an elementary math specialist and a classroom teacher, where she created engaging, needs-based lessons and provided grade-level leadership, reflects her deep commitment to student success. She brings both a wealth of expertise and a genuine passion for cultivating an inclusive, supportive and enriching learning environment for all.

Please join me in welcoming Ms. Robb to the Garden City School community. We are confident her experience will be a tremendous asset to Stratford and our district.

Sincerely,

Kusum

Kusum Sinha, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
