A medivac helicopter briefly used the high school field as a landing zone.
Please be assured that this landing was for an external medical emergency and was not related to any health or safety issue concerning SHS students or staff. The high school field is occasionally used as a designated emergency landing site for regional services.

Time to celebrate our unsung heroes! 🎉
Today is National Custodian Appreciation Day, and we are shining the spotlight on our incredible Custodial Services Team.
They are the indispensable backbone of our schools, working tirelessly—often before the sun rises and long after it sets—to ensure our facilities are safe, healthy, and welcoming for every student and staff member.
From rigorous sanitation and maintenance to setting up for every assembly and event, their dedication is the foundation of our positive learning environment. Thank you for your unwavering professionalism and commitment.
Please drop a quick "thank you" to your school custodians and cleaners today.

This is a wonderful opportunity for you to meet your student's teachers, learn about the curriculum, and get a feel for their classroom environment.
Your child's safety is our top priority, and we ask that you take a moment to review and reinforce important safety habits with them. Please remind your child to always report anything that seems suspicious to a trusted adult, whether it's a parent, teacher, or police officer. Having these conversations can give them the confidence to respond safely in any situation.
SCSD student board representatives joined others from across NYS to meet with Commissioner Rosa. In a hybrid event organized with NYSSBA, Commissioner Rosa discussed the roles & responsibilities of student reps & celebrated their commitment to community service.
