The Making a Difference Award recognizes the many examples of individual teachers, aides, drivers, safety, and other District staff who are making a difference in the lives of our children throughout our buildings. Members of the Washingtonville Board of Education delivered the Making a Difference Award to each February recipient.
Kathleen Vilchez
Mrs. Vilchez has been an amazing educator to my daughter in 1st grade. She is kind, patient, intelligent, forgiving, and caring to say the least. She has maintained consistent communication and works with us as parents. Knowing she is my daughter's teacher gives me comfort. She works with us as a team to meet my daughter's needs and helps push through and get past her struggles. Mrs. Vilchez is an asset!
John Corts
John is new to the district, teaching 1st grade at Round Hill. He is a personable and easy to communicate with. He collaborates with support staff for the betterment of his students. One of the most inspiring things about John is that he knows his students and does everything he can to build amazing relationships with everyone. The district is lucky to have John join the team!
Carla Sansone

She ensures that professional development is meaningful, relevant, and thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of our school community.
