🚨Attention Parents/Students🚨 - Please see below for a message from our Superintendent:

As I am sure you are aware, the NYS Education Department released reopening guidance to schools across the state yesterday afternoon. The guidance document is 145 pages in length. We are working our way through it as rapidly and accurately as possible to begin to plan for our reopening. At this point, transportation appears to be our first of what I am sure is going to be many hurdles to overcome.

The guidance given to schools is that we are required to socially distance school busses during student transport. This measure is going to massively reduce our ability to get kids to school. Even if we return to two bus runs, as was the case several years ago, our capacity is going to be severely diminished.

All that being said, we need you ask for your assistance. If you are planning to transport your own child or children to and from school, or you have the ability and willingness to do so, we need to ask you to. The more students that are able to not use school transportation, means the more room on the bus for those that cannot make other arrangements, and the more students that we can get to school for in person education.
If you are able to assist in this way for the 2020-2021 school year, we need to know. Unfortunately our time line is very short. NYS has given until July 31 for schools to submit their reopening plans for approval. As you can imagine this extremely short window, given the complexities of what needs to be planned.

If you are able to assist and provide you own transportation please notify us no later than 8:00am on Wednesday July 22.To do so, you may fill out a form below or call 518-642-1051 ex 3201 and notify us by phone.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfgxvrJa-2kfc48ILb_l35oilaTuA3pPnX-vJoidiHusUYNwA/viewform

I thank you for your time and anticipated assistance. There will be a ROBO call sent out several times over the next few days to serve as a reminder
