Fredonia Central School District

Attention, anyone attending the basketball game or strings concert tonight at FCSD:
We have basketball games and a concert happening at the same time tonight.  Here are some adjustments we are making to accommodate both events. There will be plenty of signage to direct visitors.   

1. Parking: Parking will be tight.  We are letting everyone know that the parking lot in front of the Event Entrance and the lot in front of the High School will both be open for use.  Entrances near both lots will be open, the usual Event Entrance and the entrance by the flagpole as well.  See the map for details.
   

2. For those attending basketball: We are asking the basketball crowd to enter through our High School cafeteria to buy tickets, then follow the signs to the far gym doors away from the Auditorium.  We will not be using the gym doors by our Auditorium to enter or exit the gym. They will remain closed. Please only use the far doors. 
   

3. For those attending the concert: We are asking concert goers to proceed as usual down the main hallway to the Auditorium from the foyer at the Event Entrance.  The reception afterward will be in the Intermediate Library.  

Thanks for your help and cooperation.  Enjoy both events!  

Spring sports registration is open!

Students interested in baseball, softball, golf, flag football, track, or trap should sign up via the link on our Athletics page: https://www.fredonia.wnyric.org/o/fsd/page/athletics-home

Happy National School Counseling Week!

School counselors make a tremendous impact on students’ lives—helping them succeed in school today while planning confidently for the careers of tomorrow. They actively guide students in discovering their abilities, strengths, interests, and talents, empowering them to see what’s possible.

Through strong partnerships with parents, school counselors help navigate the real challenges of raising children in today’s world. They focus on positive, proactive ways to support students’ academic growth, career readiness, and social/emotional development.

Working hand-in-hand with teachers and educators, school counselors help create an educational environment where every student can realize their potential and set healthy, realistic, and optimistic goals for the future.

Certified, experienced educators with a master’s degree in school counseling, their training and expertise make them an integral part of the total educational program.

This week, we celebrate and thank our school counselors, Judith Przybyla, Amy Gavazzi, Jennifer Martin, James Hobbs, and Amy Ward, for the vital role they play in shaping brighter futures!
