We have been made aware of calls being made to parents of Juniors, saying their student has requested PSAT exam resources. The caller states they will be mailing a flash drive with the resources; they just need a credit card in case the flash drive isn't returned within 30 days.
If you receive a call similar to this, please hang up immediately.
What a great Spirit Week so far! Tonight we continue the celebration with our parade, football game, and bonfire, followed by the dance tomorrow night.

A Boil Water Order has been issued for the Village of Fredonia
"All Fredonia water customers must boil water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth and making coffee until further notice. Water must be brought to a rolling boil for one minute then cooled prior to use. Boiled or bottled water must be used to wash dishes by hand; dishes should be allowed to completely air dry after washing. Home dishwashers that reach a temperature of 170⁰F and have a full dry cycle do not need to be boiled. The water may be used for bathing as long as it is not consumed. The water is safe for laundry."
In terms of the impact of this news on our school district, here is some information to know:
For the time being, our water at school cannot be used for drinking.
For the time being, our drinking fountains will not be available.
We have water from a local bottled water supplier in place.
For more information, call the Village at 716-679-2307 or the County Health Department at 716-753-4481.
