Dear Families,

Welcome to Washington Drive Primary School, where every child begins their educational journey with curiosity, confidence, and care. Nestled in the Harborfields Central School District, our school proudly serves students in kindergarten through second grade, offering a nurturing environment designed to help young learners thrive both academically and emotionally.

At Washington Drive, we believe in the power of early childhood education to shape the foundation for lifelong learning. Our programs are thoughtfully designed to support each child’s development through a blend of academic instruction, social-emotional learning, and creative exploration. Whether it’s building early literacy and numeracy skills, engaging in hands-on science in our Makerspace, or celebrating school traditions like our PARP play or Earth Day Sing-A-Long, students are immersed in meaningful experiences every day.

Our dedicated faculty works to honor the unique learning styles and personalities of each child, promoting a growth mindset and a love of learning. Special subjects, including Music, Art, Physical Education, Library, and Technology, further enrich our students’ days, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience aligned with New York State Standards.

As principal, I am proud to lead a school community that is inclusive, joyful, and deeply committed to helping every child learn and grow. We look forward to working in partnership with you to make these early years a time of wonder, discovery, and lasting memories.

With warm regards,
Kathryn McNally
