Charmise Desire' for Uniondale School Board

Attention Parents & Guardians

🌟 Big Wins from Our On-Site Admissions Events! 🌟

From mid-December through early January, our College & Career Room was buzzing with opportunity — and the results speak for themselves!

Our Molloy University on-site admissions event was the largest ever, with over 20 students earning $350,000 in merit scholarships— $1.4 million over four years! 🎓💰

We also welcomed Mercy University, SUNY Old Westbury, Nassau Community College, and Long Island University, where students received on-the-spot admissions into competitive programs, including Molloy Nursing, Mercy Nursing, LIU Pharmacy, and SUNY Old Westbury Education.

My prayers are with all impacted by this loss (alumni, employees, community members), and especially the Lloyd family at large 🙏🏾 Thank you Dr. Lloyd for all you did for the Uniondale community.

🎊 Congratulations to Northern Parkway, Grand Avenue, Smith Street and UHS PTA for being awarded the NYS PTA Trailblazer Award! 🎉✨

Thank you to all the parents and volunteers who continue to show up for our youth and the schools as a valued partner in the educational journey. Because of each of you, 💪🏾

Welcome to our new board member!!!!

On Tuesday, November 18, 2025, the Board of Education appointed Yvette Janniere as its new trustee. Trustee Janniere brings a wealth of leadership and strategic management experience to the role. She is currently the CEO of Rigor Management, a consulting firm specializing in IT program management, strategic planning, and organizational development.

She has held numerous leadership roles with the Conference of Minority Transportation Officials (COMTO) and is an active member of several professional organizations, including the Women Transportation Seminar, the Project Management Institute, and the National Association of Professional Women.

“I am honored to bring my expertise to serve the families of the Uniondale School District,” Trustee Janniere said. I look forward to collaborating with my fellow Board members to support the District’s mission and ensure every scholar has the tools needed to succeed.”

So blessed to share in this year's at Jones Beach State Park with ladies from my church. And what a special moment introducing them to my family.
Support comes in many shapes and forms, but at the end of the day, we are stronger TOGETHER in this journey called life.

What a beautiful moment last month to once again have an opportunity for Uniondale School District leaders, students and alumni to present at the annual convention of the New York State School Boards Association to share information about the work we are doing to empower students. Congratulations to all who presented and collaborated with students who participated in various ways. It was a proud moment for us all. Stay tuned ... we are yet working diligently to share journey.

Just a moment to pause with fellow board members from across New York State along with NYSED Commissioner Betty Rosa at NYSSBA's Annual Convention in New York City last month.
