Thanks to WDOE Radio for featuring our therapy dog Yost and owner Tim Wright on WDOE's "Viewpoint" program. They chat about Yost's adoption, the process he went through to become a therapy dog, and how he's helping students at Fredonia.

Dear Fredonia Families,
Despite the challenging weather over the past few days, we continue to do our best to keep our schools open. Part of the difficulty for tomorrow is the high number of faculty and staff we have commuting from the north and east, including those in travel bans. In order to give those individuals plenty of time to get to work and be as safe as possible, Fredonia CSD will be operating on a 2-hour delay for tomorrow, Monday 11/21. We ask that our faculty and staff still leave early and take their time while traveling. Thanks to everyone for their patience and understanding as we work through winter weather related scenarios.
All after school events and activities for tomorrow will continue as scheduled.
Hello Fredonia families,
All events/activities for Saturday 11/19 will occur as scheduled. Stay safe and warm!
Good morning Fredonia families. We are open and on time today. Please give yourself a little extra time and drive safe. We continue to monitor conditions for our after school activities as well as the coming days.
Dear Fredonia Families,
Governor Hochul has declared a disaster emergency in Chautauqua and surrounding counties effective November 17. Based on the Governor’s declaration, consultation with County authorities, and the weather forecast, we are closing school for Friday, November 18. All after school activities for Friday are also canceled.
However, after school activities will continue for tonight, Thursday November 17.
The Friday performance of the Middle School musical "Matilda JR" is postponed to Monday, November 21 at 7:00 PM. As of now, the Saturday performances at 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM will still be performed as scheduled. All ticket holders for Friday night's performance will have their tickets transferred to Monday. If any ticket holders have questions, they should e-mail Mr. Wendell at bwendell@fcsd.wnyric.org.
At this time, all other activities scheduled for Saturday will continue as planned. If this should change, we will make an announcement as soon as possible.

Fifth grade students in Mr. Kwilos' ELA class recently performed a Halloween Reader's Theater skit for their Social Studies classmates in Mrs. Forbes' room. The actors enjoyed performing for their peers, and are looking forward to doing it again. We applaud their courage!
FCSD is closed today in observance of Veterans Day. We thank all those who have served our country.
"As we express our gratitude we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter the words, but to live by them." - John F. Kennedy
Don't forget, tomorrow is our annual Veterans Day parade starting at 1:30. We've also declared tomorrow RED, WHITE, AND BLUE DAY, so wear your patriotic colors!
