We highly encourage you to review the Late Bus routes with your child, as they are consolidated. Students should know which Late Bus they should take to get home! Please view our website for more information: School Information ➡️ School Late Bus Routes.
Computer Based Test Simulation
On January 24th, we will have students complete a short "sampler" of questions in preparation for the NYS Assessments. This simulation is very brief. It will allow us to ensure that students can access the testing portal and permit students to see the tools they can use on the state assessments. Please be sure your child shuts down and fully charge their laptop every evening, so we have ample power for this simulation.
NYS State testing dates are projected for:
- ELA: The week of April 17th
- Math: The week of May 1st
22-23 Yearbooks:
