It's the first day of school, but not just for students, but for some staff, too, including Batavia Middle School's new principal, Ashley John Grillo.
Grillo, originally from Albion, was most recently assistant principal at Holley Central School and was appointed to his new role this Spring.
He said he's very excited by the prospects of his new position.
“Fortunately, I’ve got a great team I’m working with; the staff I’ve met so far have been wonderful," Grillo said. "They’ve been very welcoming, very helpful. I’m very excited about this year. I only see nothing but positive things happening."
Grillo said he also received a warm welcome from the student's this morning.
"It’s been a blast," Grillo said. "I’ve been shaking hands all morning with kids and saying hi and introducing myself, and they’ve been coming to me, too, so it’s been nice."
