Dear Parents/Guardians:

Welcome to the new school year! Again, more challenges lie ahead of us!

As you should be aware by now, in-district K-6 will be attending school Mon-Fri, while Grades 7-12 will be attending every other day, with the opposite day being a remote learning day. Our Special Education Teachers in-district have set up remote learning classrooms through Google Classroom. If your child is in a BOCES placement, staff will be in touch to inform you of your child’s schedule.

All services will be provided as outlined in your child’s IEP. Please be sure to update us if there has been any change in your contact information.

We will be conducting CSE meetings remotely in order to minimize visitors to our buildings. We will be setting up phone or Google meetings for this. Mrs. Nolan will be scheduling meetings. This is another reason to update your contact information. You will receive an email for your child’s CSE meetings. Please accept the invitation or call to reschedule.

These are challenging times for all. If you feel that your child is in need of counseling, you can reach out to our counselors at any time. Their contact information is below.
