WELCOME TO
Gidney Avenue Memorial School

The NECSD is incredibly proud to announce that Stella Torres, a student at GAMS, has been named a statewide winner in the New York Association for Pupil Transportation (NYAPT) School Bus Safety Poster Contest.

The District Calendar for the 2026-2027 school year was approved by the Board of Education meeting held on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, and is now available.

The district has received media requests for comment regarding a recent lawsuit. In anticipation of future inquiries and questions from our community, please find a quote from the district below.

Fun for all ages--we hope to see our families join as a community for literacy-inspired activities, community resources, and the shared love of learning through reading!

The air-conditioning units work, however, they have not been turned on for the season. The district will not turn on the cooling units until the threat of freezing temperatures has passed.

Often, speculation on social media or in neighborhood conversations, like a game of telephone, can cloud the reality of the work being done in our school buildings. You don’t have time for confusion, and you deserve the facts.
