What is the Dist. Alcohol and Drug Policy? The Mamaroneck
School District is committed to providing our students an
environment that is optimal for learning and growing. As part of
that commitment, it is critical that we recognize and address
the prevalence of drug and alcohol abuse in our society, and
incorporate into the curriculum programs and initiatives to
encourage healthy lifestyles and good decision making.
Through the cooperation of parents, community members, district
staff and administrators our schools offer students at every
level a diverse array of opportunities to meet a variety of
needs.
