3rd Planned Lockdown Drills – January 13th
On Tuesday, January 13, 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.

Holiday cheer meets real-world skills! Our Foods 1, Career and Financial Management, and FACS 7 & 8 students practiced communication, budgeting, and teamwork while creating whimsical gingerbread houses and a Tow-Mater design. A festive project that brought creativity, collaboration, and smiles to the classroom!
Two weeks is a long time to have the kids home with nothing to do!! I found this great list of ideas that I thought I would share. The only thing I would add (since learning is always on my mind) is to read each day together and to practice math facts every day! Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are the basic facts that our kids need to conquer in the elementary! Enjoy the holidays and time with your children. See you in the New Year!
