Dear Parents, Guardians, and Staff,
There is no school for all students tomorrow - Friday, June 6th. I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend!

If you can't make it tonight, you can watch the livestream on YouTube. The event also includes the induction ceremony for the Baldwinsville Community Athletic Hall of Fame. Learn more about the inductees on our website.
