Attention Fredonia School Community:
We hope you are enjoying your summer.
At our BOE meeting earlier in the week, we reviewed some potential updates to our Code of Conduct. As part of our process, we are creating an opportunity for feedback from our school community. Please feel free to share information with an email or call directly to our Superintendent, Brad Zilliox, at bzilliox@fcsd.wnyric.org or call 679-1581 ext. 2701. We are open to any thoughts or perspectives you are willing to share.
You will note that most of the adjustments fall under either our dress code or electronics portions of our code. In terms of dress code, we have attempted to adjust the language to be more universal and not target one set of individuals over others. Some school districts have been accused of their codes being either sexist or discriminatory and these changes are meant to be counter to such claims. Additionally, our electronic device guidelines have become individualized to the particular school buildings based on the age of the students. The principals are responsible for informing faculty, students, and families of the guidelines for their particular building. If an electronic device is permitted, the students may not use it in such a way to violate the privacy of others. Students may not use their device to audio record, take photos, or take videos unless they are part of a school sanctioned classroom assignment.
A draft of potential changes to our Code of Conduct is linked on our website here: https://www.fredonia.wnyric.org/page/code-of-conduct
Again, thanks for any feedback you would like to share. We ask that any information be submitted before July 28.
It's time for another Weekly Update, summer edition!

The Fredonia Board of Education will hold their annual reorganizational meeting and regular meeting Wednesday, July 5, at 6:00 PM in the HS library. Please visit our website for the agenda.
As we wrap up another school year, we say congratulations, thank you, and farewell to an amazing group of teachers and staff who are retiring from FCSD. These individuals represent a combined 280 years of service to the district. WOW! A sincere thank you to each and every one of these members of our #fredoniafamily on their dedication and impact over the years.
Last evening, our Board of Education granted tenure to Mary Ihrig, Derek Kuch, Lindsey Moon, and Scott Herdzik. Congratulations to this exceptional group of educators! We believe tenure is earned, not given, and these individuals have certainly worked hard to make an impression on our school community in the short time they have been with us. Please join us in congratulating Mary, Derek, Lindsey, and Scott!
Our UPK students recently took a deep dive into 14 different artists from around the world. They learned about their techniques, style and life. They then created a work of their own based on that artist's unique style. Some of the artists studied were Pablo Picasso, Wassily Kandinsky, Frida Kahlo, George Seurat, Jackson Pollock, and Yayoi Kusama. Thanks to Mrs. Guiffreda for taking our students on a trip around the world through art!
Fredonia CSD is closed today in observance of Juneteenth, or Freedom Day, which commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans.

We are so proud of our Trap Club, who recently competed at the NYS Trap Tournament and had amazing results, especially for their first year as a club!
687 students from 86 schools competed as a school team and individually. Fredonia's home field of Hanover Fish and Game Club has tested our students due to the difficulty of their home field. Scores were based on the amount birds broke out of 100. Mason Tomaszewski was awarded top gun and 1st place varsity with 98, Aidan Kinney was awarded 2nd place JV with 93, Ethan Willebrandt broke 90, Wyatt Bartoo broke 87, and Aiden Czekanski scored 86 contributing to the team score. With a team score of 454.
Fredonia came in third place overall in their first ever state tournament. Rounding out individual scores were Nathan Balch 76, Daniel Cook 86, Asher McKnatt 84, and Connor Sullivan with 54. The team was led by coaches Jerry Kinney and Daniel Tomaszewski. Congratulations to all involved!
Please see the image for our full Regents schedule for 2023.
Check out the last, awesome issue of the Spectator before we say congrats & farewell to our Class of 2023. We are so proud of our student journalists. Kudos to all involved!

Members of our GSA Club (Gay Straight Alliance) planted perennials and annuals under the HS sign by the main entrance to welcome spring and make it feel special and cared for. They hope to make this an annual tradition.
The students from left to right are Cloe Zamora, Eli Brielo, Makalya Jimerson, Raylee Flanders.
These 5th graders volunteered to give speeches on "What Memorial Day Means to Me" as part of the Memorial Day ceremony at the Dunkirk Lighthouse & Veterans Park Museum. From L to R: Ella Sherlock, Jocelyn Robb, Dylan Kane, Lucie Katta, Jaelianni Buchanan, & Isabella Mapes. We love this opportunity to learn public speaking skills for a cause. Well done!
