Students across the Shoreham-Wading River School District were eager to start a new academic year as they arrived at their respective schools on Sept. 4.

The first day of school brought about new experiences for all students, specifically those starting their first year of elementary, middle or high school. Teachers and administrators helped ease those transitions throughout the day.

At Shoreham-Wading River High School, seniors and staff helped freshmen navigate the hallways. Students at Albert G. Prodell Middle School learned where their classrooms were located, while Wading River School and Miller Avenue School students were welcomed into their classrooms by teachers and other staff members for a first day of reading, lessons and getting to know each other.

With an agenda filled with pertinent information and accolades for staff members who reached milestone anniversaries, the District commenced the start of the 2024-25 school year on Sept. 3 during its Superintendent’s Conference Day.

The morning began with a continental breakfast and catching up with fellow staff members, before the SWR educational community was welcomed into the SWR High School auditorium to begin the new school year. With a backdrop of photos of smiling staff members, Shoreham-Wading River High School senior Liam McQuade performed the national anthem to great applause.
