A Message from Superintendent Roland Doig
During our school closure, there will be a continuation of education during the week of April 6, which was previously scheduled to be our regional spring break.  Families and students will continue to receive communication and educational materials from their teachers as they have been.  It is important that students engage with this work that is being provided, and maintain communication with their teachers.  Please let teachers know that you are working on these at home materials.
 
Please note our updated parameters for grading periods. The 3rd marking period will officially close on April 24 at 3:00 pm.   Students will receive their grade as of March 11 (unless additional back work was submitted).  Decisions regarding the 4th quarter will be communicated upon further guidance from NYSED.

Our teachers and administrators continue to work to provide engaging educational experiences during this unprecedented time, yet we continue to have questions that outnumber answers.  As this situation evolves, we await guidance from the NYS Education Department along with other entities, and as such will relay that information once it is received.  We thank you for your cooperative efforts and wish you health and safety.
IMPORTANT!
Change in "grab and go" daily meals schedule
As you know by now, while schools are closed, we are continuing to provide daily meals to families/children who need them. We have changed the "grab and go" schedule to twice-weekly.
 
We are now providing student meals on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Tuesdays, you will receive (two) days of meals for Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursdays, you will receive 3 (three) days of meals for Thursday, Friday and Monday. This plan will help to assure that our students are receiving meals for the week and also limiting the number of social contacts. Instead of making five daily trips to the grab and go sites, participants now will only make two trips and receive the same number of meals. 
 
HERE IS THE GRAB AND GO MEALS PICK UP SCHEDULE FOR APRIL 6 THROUGH APRIL 10. Read the information carefully. You may go to the pick up site closest to you no matter where you live.

SNAP help available
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to have wide-ranging health and economic impacts, please be aware of opportunities to sign up for free meals. You can apply for free school meals at www.myschoolapps.com. If you are a family that needs extra assistance, consider applying for SNAP benefits at www.ny.gov/services/apply-snap.
 
We encourage families to utilize resources in their own neighborhoods (ie. carpooling) for acquiring food, as the resources in the district are limited for this purpose.  If you still require assistance with obtaining food, please call 607-201-2334.
 
 
 
Contacting us during the closure
During the school closure, ALL CALLS to any district facility should be directed to 607-775-0170. Specific building level questions can be sent to the principal via email.
To parents/caregivers
We hope that this message finds you and your family in both good physical and mental health. During the emergency school closure, we have been communicating plans regarding child nutrition, educational engagement and mental health through multiple means. These plans have been operationalized in phases as we continue to plan through this event.  Below, you will find our most recent updates.
  
Educational Engagement
During this unprecedented school closure, it is our goal to maintain our students' engagement with school. Each Susquehanna Valley student has the ability to access ClassLink:  
This one site contains links to supplemental educational resources.

THESE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES may also prove useful to students and families. While these links can help to keep your child connected to school, it is also suggested that students:
•  read and write for 30-45 minutes each day
•  practice math facts for 15-20 minutes each day
•  get at least 30-45 minutes of physical activity each day

You and/or your child should have received electronic materials from teachers during this past week regarding resources for them to use during this first phase of our closure. Beginning this week, teachers will be posting weekly (or more frequent) updates with expectations of what students should be working on.

We realize that some elementary students do not have any other form of technology available in their homes and will need a school-issued iPad to continue with this work.  Parents in this circumstance are able to pick-up an iPad from Brookside or Donnelly on Tuesday, March 24 between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Please remain in your vehicle and a staff member will assist you.

While we understand that it has been difficult to reach Spectrum for free WiFi access, we encourage you to continue trying by calling 844-488-8395.  For those parents who require other options, please call 607-775-0170 or reach out to your building principal via email.
