🥾Leader-in-Training Camp, 2-week sessions for 15- and 16-year-olds interested in becoming camp counselors
Camp Onyahsa is a place where children can build social skills, connect with positive role models, develop independence and responsibility, learn new skills, become stronger swimmers, read, exercise, make friends, and spend time in nature.
Camp Onyahsa also strives to make these opportunities as accessible as possible. With the support of local and regional donors, they have partial and full scholarships available for Chautauqua County residents. No child is turned away from camp because of an inability to pay.

Our 4th Planned Lockdown Drills are scheduled to take place on Thursday, 2/26/26.
On Thursday, February 26, 2026 both of our buildings (MHS & SES) will conduct planned lockdown drills as part of our ongoing commitment to safety and emergency preparedness. New York State law requires public schools to notify parents about a planned lockdown drill to ensure safety and reduce potential trauma for students and staff.
These drills are scheduled in advance and provide an important opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to practice lockdown procedures in a calm and structured environment.
Following the drills, building administrators will meet with faculty and staff to debrief and identify practical ways to further enhance safety protocols.
If you have any questions, please contact the office at MHS or SES.

Although we’re a few days late in wrapping up "Love the Bus Week" we couldn’t let it pass without one more heartfelt THANK YOU to our incredible Transportation Department 💛🚌
Each day, nearly 480,000 school buses transport students nationwide — and behind every single bus is a dedicated professional committed to getting students to and from school safely. Our transportation staff members are truly the first smiling faces of the school day and the last caring send-off in the afternoon.
Their work goes far beyond driving. They carefully inspect vehicles, navigate challenging road conditions, manage student behavior, and help create a safe, welcoming environment for every child who steps onto the bus. They play a vital role in student safety, well-being, and the positive experience our families have with our district.
To our drivers and transportation team — thank you for your patience, your commitment, and the care you show our students each and every day. We appreciate you not just during Love the Bus Week, but all year long! 🚌💙♥️

A couple of weeks ago, our PreK classrooms had the sweetest surprise when Kabob Country Bears came to visit! 🧸✨
Each student had the special opportunity to choose their very own bear, help stuff it, add a heart inside, and pick out a bowtie to make it extra special. The excitement on their faces was priceless! Once their bears were perfectly stuffed and styled, our wonderful adults helped sew them shut so they were ready for lots of love and cuddles.
It was such a fun, hands-on experience and a memory our students will cherish. 💕
We’re sharing some photos from this special day, along with the beautiful thank-you banner our students made for Kabob. Thank you for bringing so many smiles to our classrooms!
