Next week, September 15–19, we will join schools across the country in celebrating Start With Hello Week!
A small action like a simple “Hello” can change someone’s day, help them feel seen, and remind them they belong. This week encourages kindness, inclusivity, and connection—all powerful steps in preventing violence and building a stronger school community.

Let us vow never to forget the unity, compassion, and solidarity that arose from the ashes of tragedy. May we carry the lessons of 9/11 forward in our hearts and actions, ensuring that the sacrifices made on that day are never in vain.
Thank you to NHS officer Bennett Shephard for organizing our 9/11 memorial and to Technology teacher Greg Haase for the drone photos.

Please arrive at the HS Events Entrance at attend. We look forward to seeing you there!
We also thank all of our community partners, who joined us for the event.
Recognizing the necessity of ensuring safe and productive learning environments for students and educators, legislation was passed in NY to create a statewide standard for distraction-free school environments. Our Fredonia students embraced this idea last year with the No Cell Bell to Bell policy. Designed to eliminate electronic distractions and foster greater engagement in the classroom, the policy was a tremendous success. Teachers and students alike have seen the benefits of uninterrupted instructional time, and they look forward to another year of focused learning and stronger connections. We look forward to building on that success as we start the new school year!
If you need to reach your student during the school day, please call the school office of the building your student attends. If your student needs to reach you during the school day, they can ask for permission to come to the main office to call home. To make it easier to get in touch with our building offices, we've included a contact infographic.
See you September 2nd!
