Tappan Zee Elementary School is the school for all second and third grade students in the South Orangetown Central School District. Our school is located in beautiful Piermont not far from the banks of the Hudson River. For the 2006 - 2007 school year we will have 11 sections of second grade classes and 12 sections of third grade classes.

Each child at TZE is special and it is our goal to help students reach their fullest potential. We are fortunate to have an excellent teaching staff and a full complement of educational specialists and support staff to assist students in meeting this goal. Students participate in art, music and physical education and have access to the services of our librarian and a wonderful library of reading and information resources. In addition, our technology specialist instructs students in computer curriculum areas such as e-mail, power point, word processing, graphics and Internet use. We have a wonderful lab with 24 computers! Our special education teachers, school psychologist, speech/language therapist, occupational and physical therapists and a learning consultant support students with special needs. We will have a reading specialist at each grade level. We also provide instruction for students in the gifted/talented program and for children with limited English speaking abilities. Our school nurse, secretarial staff and custodians support the entire TZE community.
