Updates from East Hill!

Good Afternoon!

By now you have hopefully read today's communication from Mr. Bills, our school superintendent. We are certainly going to miss having students here for the next few weeks! Here are some updates that I hope are helpful:
  • We will NOT have school this Friday, March 20th.  
  • Our Education Fair is postponed.  I am not yet sure about rescheduling, but will let you know once we are back in regular attendance.
  • Our 3rd grade chorus concert is cancelled, and rescheduling remains to be seen.  Stay tuned.
  • We will let you know as soon as possible about report card distribution and whether they will be available to you online.
  • As of now, we will not be taking the NYS English Language Arts Assessment, but will let you know of any changes.
  • We anticipate returning to school on Tuesday, April 14, 2020.  Again, this is subject to change, but we'll keep our fingers crossed!
Here are a few other odds and ends:
  • Within the next few days, you will receive information regarding alternative learning experiences for your child while we are not in regular attendance.  Stay tuned while we finalize plans for you!
  • If your child was not here today (Monday) and you need to pick up his or her personal belongings, the building will be accessible Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week from 8:30-3:30. Please note that you will still need to bring your ID and buzz in at the front door if you need to retrieve something from your child's locker. You will not need to come for school books or materials as we will make learning accessible online. Please see the District website and note from Superintendent David Bills if you need information about accessing a Chromebook for your child, or call the technology office at 315-487-4677.
I will be in touch as more information becomes available. Stay safe and healthy!
