This week, we’re proud to recognize and celebrate our Board of Education members for the countless hours they dedicate to our schools, students, staff, and community. Their service is voluntary, yet their commitment is anything but small. From attending countless meetings and reviewing information to making important decisions that help shape the future of our district, our Board members give their time, energy, and expertise to support The Valley. 💙❤️ We're grateful for all that you do behind the scenes and at the table to help our district continue to move forward!
Thank you, Mr. Richner, Ms. Ellsworth, Mr. Clark, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Runge!
We’d also like to give a special shout-out to our two Student Board Members, Gabrielle Cunningham and Aubi Farmer! Having student voices represented at our board meetings is such a valuable part of the process. Their perspectives, experiences, and insight provide an important reminder that the decisions made in the boardroom directly impact the students we serve. Thank you for sharing your voices and contributing to the conversation!
Please join us in thanking all of our Board of Education and Student Board Members for their service and dedication to Cassadaga Valley Central School! ❤️🐾💙
We appreciate you more than you know!
Today is Indigenous Peoples' Day/Columbus Day! 🌎
Did you know the name "Cassadaga" comes directly from the Seneca language? It translates to "water under the rocks," describing the local glacial moraines and natural artesian springs that flow beneath the gravelly stream beds of our valley. Christopher Columbus’ 1492 voyage across the Atlantic marked the beginning of sustained contact between Europe and the Americas, leading to significant changes for Indigenous peoples and communities throughout the Americas. Long before European settlers arrived, these lands were the ancestral domain of the Seneca Nation, who served as the “Keepers of the Western Door” for the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. As we recognize both observances today, we honor the rich history, enduring culture, and contributions of the region’s original caretakers.
We are proud to carry a piece of that heritage in our district’s name every day! 🍂
Last evening, one of the unit heater transformers overheated and began to smoke. After reviewing the malfunction, our facilities team has determined that the fitness center will need to remain closed for at least the coming week while repair needs are evaluated and completed.
We will keep the community updated on our reopening date. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Just before 6:45 p.m. this evening, an alarm alerted us to smoke in our fitness center. All fire departments responded quickly and worked diligently to investigate. The all-clear has been given, and we are incredibly grateful for their swift response.
Out of an abundance of caution, the fitness center will be closed for the coming week as we complete further investigation and work with our insurance company.
Most importantly, we want to recognize and thank our local volunteer firefighters. These men and women give their time, answer the call, and show up when our community needs them. Their dedication to protecting our schools and keeping our students, staff, and community safe does not go unnoticed.
Thank you for always being there when we need you. Our community is fortunate to have you! ❤️

They assigned characters, acted out scenes, and even turned off all the lights while storm noises played from the TV ⛈️
They sat with their rain ponchos and dove into a world colored with imagery. Students worked hard at annotating the story and led a powerful, thought-provoking discussion! They were inspired by the power of figurative language.
And, of course, they had to transform their classroom, too! They decorated the room with rain, and sunshine to create their own version of the world from the story.
We also want to remind our community that seeing a police vehicle on school property does not necessarily mean there is a safety concern or that something is wrong. Our local law enforcement partners regularly visit our campus, whether for routine check-ins, school activities, training, or simply to connect with our staff and students.
We are grateful to have law enforcement agencies who are committed to working alongside us to help keep our school community safe. 💙🖤
As always, if there is ever a situation that requires the attention of our parents or community, we will communicate that information directly through our established communication channels.
Thank you to our local law enforcement partners for your continued support of Cassadaga Valley! 👮♂️🚔
Showing up and showing out to support the varsity golden cougars soccer team last night! Congratulations to our Cassadaga seniors, Jakob Huling, and Cameron Fitzgibbons! 💙💛❤️

Thank you for helping us plan for a great winter sports season! 🐾
October is a great opportunity to recognize the incredible school leaders who work every day to support our students, staff, families, and school communities.
Mr. Fredrick stated he's especially grateful to work alongside Executive Principal, Kelly Sedlak, and MHS House Principal, Dan McNeill. Their leadership, vision, dedication, and commitment to our students and staff make a tremendous difference across the Cassadaga Valley Central School District.
And while Mr. Fredrick is the one submitted this post to be published, we'd be remiss not to recognize him, our Elementary Principal, as well! His kindness, efficiency, and genuine care for our students, staff, and school community are evident in all that he does. We are incredibly fortunate to have his leadership and dedication here at Cassadaga Valley!
Here’s to celebrating Mrs. Sedlak, Mr. McNeill, and Mr. Fredrick — and all of our school leaders who show up each day to make a difference! 💙❤️
Happy National Principals Month! Go Cougars!
