Oneida Middle School

With temperatures rising to the high 90’s in the coming days, it is important to be safe in the heat. Heat exhaustion and heatstroke is serious, it is crucial to stay hydrated by drinking water and electrolytes, seek shade and wear light colored, loose-fitting clothing. This also goes for your pets. Keep them in cool areas, ensure they have enough water to drink and do not leave them in cars, even for a quick trip into a store. Also, check on your elderly neighbors and family members as they are more susceptible to heat-related issues. Individuals with conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory issues may experience worsened symptoms in high heat. To stay cool, visit a splash pad located at: Wallingford on Congress – 1004 Congress St./5th Ave Tribute – Eastern Ave 868 Eastern Ave Woodlawn – 1 Ricci Street Jerry Burrell – 753 Hamilton St

Attention 8th graders and families: Due to the extreme weather conditions this week, the district is reducing our school schedule to half days on Tuesday and Thursday. Therefore, we cannot hold our 8th grade Dinner Dance as planned. We would still like to celebrate our 8th graders and will instead hold a catered luncheon on Tuesday, June 25th during the half day school day. Unfortunately, due to time constraints of the end of the year, we are unable to hold the dance. Atención alumnos de 8vo grado y familias: Debido a las condiciones climáticas extremas de esta semana, el distrito reducirá nuestro horario escolar a medio día los martes y jueves. Por lo tanto, no podemos llevar a cabo nuestra Cena-Baile de octavo grado como estaba planeado. Aún nos gustaría celebrar a nuestros estudiantes de 8º grado y, en su lugar, celebraremos un almuerzo con servicio de catering el martes 25 de junio durante el medio día escolar. Lamentablemente, debido a las limitaciones de tiempo de fin de año, no podremos realizar el baile.

Given the heat and high temperatures expected this week, we are going to adjust our daily schedules. On Tuesday, June 18, & Thursday, June 20 , elementary & middle school students will attend a half day of school. More info: https://www.schenectadyschools.org/article/1646441
