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.

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.
The Board of Education will hold a regular meeting on Tuesday, September 9, at 6:00 p.m. in the High School Library.
Happy Labor Day to all of our hard-working Fredonia families! Enjoy the last day of summer!
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!
