This week's staff highlight recognizes our Language Assessment and Welcome Center Coordinator, Maleka Nashir. Read Maleka's bio below!

"As the Language Assessment and Welcome Center Coordinator, I support our district's multilingual families as they transition into the Lackawanna school community. You can find me in the Registration Office/Welcome Center, where I assist with initial language assessments, ensuring compliance with New York State regulations, enrollment support and providing necessary information and resources.

With 13 years as an English as a New a Language teacher, I am passionate about creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for families from diverse backgrounds. It's an honor to be among the first to welcome families and guide them on their journey with us. "
