The elementary classroom supply lists for the 2021-2022 school year can be found on the elementary website under the families tab. We look forward to seeing everyone in September.
Students in 5th grade celebrated "moving up" with an assembly full of their peers cheering them on. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the celebration was limited to students and staff, however that doesn't mean that our families have to miss out.
The entire ceremony was recorded and turned into a video compilation, with special musical numbers by the band and chorus, and a heartwarming slideshow, so that parents can join in on these precious memories.
We hope that you enjoy this video as much as we enjoyed having your amazing kids in our classrooms. We will miss them so much! https://drive.google.com/file/d/14BGMWL-Gzc6gZ0uRcearYGhSZe8XGPiv/view?usp=sharing

South Seneca received information today from the Seneca County Health Department that a high school student has tested positive for COVID-19. The student last attended school in person on Wednesday, March 24. As with all cases in our school community, we collaborate with the Health Department to facilitate contact tracing and any necessary quarantines. We also collaborate with the Department to make determinations about any closures that might be appropriate. Anyone who is to complete required steps as a result of potential exposure is being contacted by the Health Department or by the school district for instructions. This case will not require us to shut down any classrooms, so our regular in-person schedule can continue to operate uninterrupted. We know the community understands that personal identifying information about those testing positive is protected under privacy laws, so we are unable to share those particular details. As always, we urge our community to continue to take all precautions as the pandemic continues. Our success and ability to remain open for in-person instruction is dependent on everyone doing their part. Thank you for your continued understanding and cooperation.
