South Seneca Central School District

The Governor’s recent proposal shows a $1.5 million (16%) reduction for South Seneca, all at once, for the 2024-25 fiscal year. This is not final. Letting your representatives know your concerns ASAP can still result in change. #foreverfalcons

This is Sarah Horton and Melissa Butler from the MS/HS reaching out to inform you that we just conducted our third lockdown of the school year. As always, the lockdown drill was conducted in collaboration with our law enforcement agencies connected with our school. The lockdown drill was successful - Thank you and have a great day!

We are lucky to be able to offer extended day, and our MS students take full advantage. The Makerspace program is popular in the MS. They work with 3D printing, VR equipment and basic coding concepts among other things. Thank you to Ms. Gale for the creativity she promotes in that program.

MakerSpace was busy this week! 3D printing, challenge centers, diamond painting, legos rollercoaster building, impulse games and VR stations! There's rolling enrollment for this Extended Day club and many more here: https://forms.gle/JrQe7JrAcrWzDqCV7

We are thrilled to be partnered with BRAVES as an extension of our work with Sweethearts and Heroes. This is a student leadership program that will run over the course of 6 weeks and train middle school students in leadership skills, advocacy and bully prevention. Our first two trainings allowed us to work with the third graders and truly let middle school students take the lead. Thank you to middle school and elementary school staff for the collaboration. A big shout out to our BRAVES students for their commitment and hard work.

We just love when Sweethearts and Heroes pays us a visit! #foreverfalcons https://www.fltimes.com/news/education/sweethearts-and-heroes-comes-to-south-seneca/article_899e70bc-be10-11ee-beed-676b856ff675.html
