Families, we apologize for the late message. Please send your child into school tomorrow with a sweatshirt or jacket as the Schenectady Fire Department will be visiting our students. The firefighters will talk to the students about their jobs and teach fire safety basics like stop, drop and roll. This event will be outdoors in the morning.

We are aware of threats being made against school districts across the region. We have not received a direct threat. Our CEOs are aware of the threats, which appear to be swatting calls. We will keep you updated if anything changes. Safety is always a top priority.

Message from SCSD: We'd like to extend a warm invitation to join our Special Education Parent-Teacher Organization (SEPTO). Your participation and involvement in our SEPTO are invaluable to the success of our school community. Your voice matters, and we encourage you to attend the meeting to learn about the latest developments at our schools, discuss meaningful topics, and share your ideas and suggestions. If you are interested, click here to sign up: https://www.schenectadyschools.org/article/1276777
