Did you know your student’s school ID doubles as a public library card? 📚✨
Through SPARK , every Schenectady City School District student can check out books and resources from any Schenectady County Public Library (SCPL) branch. No application or separate library card needed.
Here’s how it works:
🎒 Show your student ID at checkout.
🔢 Don't have an ID on you? Simply give your student ID number to the library staff (you can find this number anytime in the Parent Portal).
📖 Borrow up to 5 items at a time from any SCPL location across the county.
Unlock a world of reading, learning, and discovery this school year!

Congratulations to six Schenectady High School students who recently received the St. Bonaventure Junior Scholar Award.
Our award winners met with admissions counselors from the University to ask questions about college and financial aid. Early, personal exposure to college admissions leadership helps students navigate the post-secondary process and build confidence.

Thanks to collaboration with local transportation vendors, we will be providing bus transportation home this afternoon for all students who normally receive it.
All after-school programs will run as scheduled, and transportation will be provided.
Because some drivers will be covering new or adjusted routes, buses may arrive at stops a bit later than usual. We appreciate your understanding if drop-off times are slightly delayed.
Thank you once again for your patience, flexibility, and cooperation.

🚨 IMPORTANT TRANSPORTATION UPDATE 🚨
Durham School Services has experienced severe vandalism overnight, impacting their entire fleet. As a result, Durham buses will be unable to run routes this morning.
Police are currently on-scene investigating, and we are working with alternative bus vendors to secure backup transportation.
If you are able, we strongly encourage you to drive, carpool, or walk your student to school today.
We sincerely apologize for this disruption and appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work through this unexpected situation.
