2nd Planned Lockdown Drills – November 7
On Friday, November 7, 2025 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. We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a safe school environment.

Kindergarten students have been working on the letter G recently and, to spice things up, staff dressed up as grandmas! 👵🏼👵🏾
The high school Science/STEM club, advised by Mrs. Schrader, had 21 students attend the October meeting. The students invited Mrs. Meeder to teach the members how to make homemade butter. She taught the students that heavy cream is a byproduct of milk. You can make your own butter from heavy cream at home by shaking the heavy cream in a mason jar. The students used tiny containers and shook them until the fat globules separated from the liquid, forming a solid mass of butter and a pool of buttermilk. They also learned that many products marketed as butter are oil based and are one ingredient away from being a plastic. They had a lot of fun and enjoyed their creamy treat! https://drive.google.com/file/d/187P9aQpduW6POqLEp_TtzR32AtKqTQyj/view?usp=sharing

Mrs. Anderson's 6th grade students recently learned about the only flying mammal, bats! The students learned about bats' use of sonar, their diet, life cycle, behavior, and conservation efforts. Afterward, the students painted their own suncatchers to take home. Did you know that the world's smallest bat weighs less than a penny, while the largest bat can have an almost 6-foot wingspan?
The CV PTO's apparel sale is LIVE and open until November 22nd. The money raised will go towards the PTO's scholarship fund and other initiatives. Orders will be picked up by the PTO and a distribution day will be announced at a later time. Any questions can be directed to kelley673@gmail.com or minchmouse@aol.com.

Transportation highlight of the week: Our electric buses are powered entirely by electric batteries instead of diesel or gasoline engines. They use electric motors for propulsion and can be recharged via charging stations. Every electric bus is powered not just by clean energy — but by the commitment, care, and pride of the dedicated drivers who keep our community moving toward a cleaner, brighter future 🌱⚡

Pre-K students enjoyed their trip to Harvestview Greenhouse the other day!
Mr. Quattrone's students took a step back in time this week to explore cuneiform, one of the world’s earliest writing systems developed in ancient Sumer! After learning about how Sumerians used clay tablets to record information, students got hands-on experience by creating their own cuneiform symbols using Play-Doh and stylus tools.
Our SES highlight for the week recognizes our elementary school nurses, Sam Smith and Lynda DeGolier! They do so much more than care for scrapes and stomachaches — they promote wellness, support students’ health needs, and help keep our entire school community safe and thriving. Thank you for all you do to keep our students healthy and ready to learn! 👩🏼⚕️🩺

Loads of fun in Miss Emmott's PreK Class!!
The boys and girls in Pre-K have enjoyed using Kodo Kids Ramps. They have figured out how to make the balls roll up and down as well as how to make the ball turn with the deflectors.
At the beginning of the week, they do lots of cooking. Last week they made pumpkin muffins for a snack! Exploring pumpkins can be very fun! The students read about the pumpkin life cycle, used measuring and weighing with the pumpkins, and made predictions about what might be inside the pumpkins. You can see the pumpkins in the entry way of the school.
Miss Jessica, from the Sinclairville Free Library, paid a visit to the Pre-K Classrooms recently as well. She read A Lemon is not Red, Mix It Up!, and Pete the Cat and His White Shoes.

The Bills had a bye week last week, which meant some staff temporarily became Steelers fans! 🤣 And that made one particular student, Charlie Taylor, ecstatic! BUT, tomorrow is Bills Day again! So don't forget to wear your Bills gear! (or your favorite team's gear 😉)
