District Superintendent
Mr. Joseph Reyda

To the Bemus Point Community,

We are all excited to start the 2024-25 school year with the return of students on September 3rd.

Heraclitus was a Greek philosopher who is credited for saying, “The only constant in life is change.” Although his words were spoken in ancient times, they are still relevant today. We’re constantly being asked to move in different directions, to learn new approaches, and to adjust to revised circumstances. It’s an unending process that impacts all of us, but it hasn’t stopped us from purposely moving forward in a positive direction. We’ve faced challenges that have seemed insurmountable but instead have brought out the strengths in our students, staff, parents, and community. We know what it means to be flexible, to be patient, to be dedicated, and to be caring. It hasn't been easy at times, but we have learned from the experiences. We are dedicated to making the Bemus Point School District the very best it can be. 

The Board of Education recently adopted a revised set of District goals to help direct our efforts to provide a quality educational experience for all of our students: 

• Future Ready Focus - We will integrate life skills, rigorous learning, and innovative teaching methods into our instructional practices by providing relevant, real-world experiences, emphasizing financial literacy and civic awareness that will prepare our students for any future.

• Soft Skill Development - We will develop the tools to effectively communicate with others, intently provide service learning experiences, and confidently interact in our global environment.

• Human Technology Balance - We will deliver quality academics, weaving human connections with state-of-the-art technology, that emphasizes integrity.

• Social Emotional Supports - We will cultivate and engage in positive relationships that foster student growth and build strong communities and establish a sense of belonging. 

Our goal is to continue the great work already occurring in the Bemus Point Central School District, but also to find ways to improve how we prepare our students to achieve their highest potential.   

Stay safe and stay well Bemus Point.

Joe Reyda
