Dear Martin Avenue Community:

Welcome to Martin Avenue School! I am delighted to extend a warm welcome as we embark on a new school year together. My name is Michael Yannucci, and I am honored to serve as your principal. As a father of three young children and an elementary school principal, I am deeply committed to ensuring that every student, family member, faculty, and staff member feels welcomed, respected, and cared for each day.

At Martin Avenue, we uphold the North Bellmore Mission and Core Values in everything we do. Our students are at the heart of our efforts, and as dedicated and compassionate educators, the faculty, staff, and I are committed to supporting every child's academic, social, and emotional growth.

From our youngest learners entering kindergarten to our leading Lions in sixth grade, we want all our students to look back on their time at Martin Avenue with fond memories of fun, friendships, hands-on learning, literary connections, and unwavering support in pursuing their passions.

As we look ahead to the coming year, the faculty, staff, and I eagerly anticipate sharing many meaningful experiences with you and your children. I invite you to stay connected with us by following our journey on Instagram. You can find us at @MartinAvePride, and please do not hesitate to reach out to me at any time throughout the school year.

Here's to a year filled with growth, learning and memorable experiences for all

In partnership,

Michael J. Yannucci, Ed.D.

North Bellmore’s New Educators Get a Warm Welcome

First-year faculty members got a thorough introduction to the North Bellmore School District at new teacher orientation on Aug. 14. The 18 new hires will work across the district’s five schools and include classroom, special education and special area teachers, as well as nurses, social workers and speech language pathologists.

As they gathered in the Park Avenue Elementary School library, they learned about North Bellmore’s mission, core values, instructional program and technology resources. They met with several members of the district’s leadership team including Superintendent Marie Testa, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Janet Pollitt, Director of Educational Programs and Staff Development Tillie McNamara and Executive Director for Personnel Denise Fisher.

The program included breakout sessions for teachers to work on planning and programming with their colleagues. A few of the new hires are familiar faces, having served as leave placement or student teachers in the district.

“New teacher orientation is a special occasion dedicated to welcoming educators into our school district,” Ms. Fisher said. “It’s energizing to see these exceptional individuals come together, having been chosen for our belief in their dedication to supporting the emotional, social and academic well-being of our students. We are fortunate to have this day so that we can begin fostering a strong, supportive community among our teachers, just as we value community building with our students and families."
