Welcome Back, Mules!

Back to school jitters quickly gave way to smiles, excitement and hugs as Malverne students from across the district arrived for the first day of school on Sept. 3.

At both Davison Avenue Intermediate School and Maurice W. Downing Primary School, the morning was filled with bright backpacks, cheerful greetings and a buzz of anticipation for the year ahead. Students at Malverne High School and Howard T. Herber Middle School were equally enthusiastic as they reconnected with friends, met their new teachers and locker neighbors and settled into their class schedules.

Teachers, staff and administrators were present at all schools to greet students and answer questions, helping ensure a smooth and positive start to the day.

The district is thrilled to welcome all students back after the summer break, recharged and ready for an exceptional year filled with growth, inspiration and success.
