Middle and High School - 100% Remote - Friday February 12 As stated in Mr. Cipolla’s message, we are moving to 100% Remote instruction for Friday, February 12th. Tomorrow, our MS & HS students will continue to follow their normal bell schedule to participate in their classes. For our students attending Maple Avenue, PTech, Hewes, Randolph & Chautauqua Lake BOCES programs, the district will provide transportation to these programs following their usual daily instructional schedule. Our students participating in the LoGuidice CTE will attend their programs too. We will be picking these students up at home at the same time as we did back in January when we were 100% Remote. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Secondary Office.
