January 31:
A student in the Elementary Building this week said to a classmate that a family member was going to “shoot up the school.” After referring to law enforcement for investigation, it was determined that there was no merit to the statement, and that in fact, this family member had no knowledge that the student was saying this. The student admitted it was said to see how the friend would react.
As always, we encourage parents to be speaking to your children about using this type of language at school. We will use available resources each time we hear this kind of talk, and when reports are fabricated, it diverts these resources from use elsewhere.
Appointments opening started on Feb. 13.
The 4th grade at got a taste of Colonial Times yesterday with a visit from Nellie Ludemann, the Executive/ Education Director of the Seneca Falls Historical Society! Nellie brought all kinds of authentic artifacts to supplement our study of the time period.
Our first grade artists produced these lovely snowy night paintings on canvas. You can almost see the snowflakes fall!
Take note!

With widespread snow in the region this afternoon, South Seneca will be cancelling our Extended Day Program today, January 25. Students will follow their regular dismissal plans. Our regular SSAFE program in Interlaken will remain open.
Our Athletic Director is making adjustments to teams’ schedules as well– those will be communicated team by team.
January 25:
A student in the Middle-High School this week had an outburst that included making threatening statements directed at a particular staff member. Some of the words used during the outburst included mention of “shooting.” As the community knows, we always conduct threat assessments when statements like this are made, and this threat was assessed as non-credible.
We urge parents to speak to your children about making any kind of statement in today’s climate that relates to violence in any form. These statements can bring serious consequences to those making them, and take up valuable law enforcement and school personnel time to process.
