Dear Randolph Academy Families, We would like to share an important update from the New York State Education Department regarding NY Inspires, the state's vision for the future of education. Beginning with students graduating in 2028 and beyond, New York State will move to a single high school diploma and expand the ways students can demonstrate their learning beyond traditional Regents exam pathways. This change does not lower expectations. Instead, it recognizes that students can show their knowledge and skills in different ways, including projects, presentations, portfolios, and other authentic learning experiences. At Randolph Academy, we believe every student has unique strengths and deserves opportunities to demonstrate their growth and readiness for the future. This vision aligns with our commitment to meeting students where they are while preparing them for success beyond high school. We will continue to share updates as more information becomes available. Thank you for your partnership and support as we work together to help every Randolph Academy student reach their full potential. As always, thank you for your trust in Randolph Academy! Michael Cipolla Superintendent of Schools

Today, we pause to remember the countless lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the courage, sacrifice, and resilience shown in the face of tragedy.
As we reflect on this day, we are reminded of the importance of humanity, compassion, and coming together to support one another. It is a day that calls us to show dignity, kindness, and respect, while remembering the strength that comes from being united as a nation and as a society.
May we never forget those we lost, the heroes who answered the call, and the enduring spirit that emerged from one of our country's challenging days.

Due to not needing additional school closure days this year, the district is able to make an adjustment to the calendar.
As a result, Thursday, May 21, 2026, will be a non-reporting day for support and professional staff.
Our friends at the Parent Network of WNY will be hosting a webinar on how to support your child’s vocabulary growth on Thursday, March 19, from 6:30 till 7:00 pm.
Learn how to foster your child's vocabulary development and reading skills and avoid the summer slide!
Participants will come away with a tangible set of resources that can be utilized at home to support vocabulary development.
Participants will be able to:
- Explain the importance of vocabulary instruction for their children.
- Describe ways to incorporate explicit instruction and vocabulary instruction in the home.

Students in Mr. Carlson's culinary classes have been studying the process of making maple syrup.
Freshman and sophomores created dishes and drinks made from maple syrup. Juniors and Seniors are exploring the eco- and health benefits of maple products compared to corn syrup and sugar products. They have been tasked to create clever marketing strategies to sell their maple products.
The students created some delicious treats, including maple-glazed donuts, a cappuccino with coconut whipped cream, and a maple syrup drizzle. Maple granola, maple sugar, and many other maple-themed treats.
