Acting Superintendent's announcements for November 4, 2022

November 4, 2022

Dear Parents and Guardians, 

Next week is the final week of our first marking period and I’m extremely proud of our students for their hard work, dedication and creativity. If you’ve had the opportunity to visit any of our schools you will see how much our students have achieved already this school year. The hallways are lined with artwork and accomplishments. Keep up the good work and let’s finish the first marking period strong! 

I have a few announcements to share with you today:  

Go Home Early Drill: 

The District will be having its annual "Go Home Early" Drill on Tuesday, November 22, 2022.  All schools will be dismissed 15 minutes early to conduct the mandatory safety drill.

The Baldwinsville Theater Arts Program’s production of “The Lion King Jr.” will be held in our C.W. Baker High School auditorium in just two weeks.
