🚔 Community Notice

Local Law Enforcement will be on campus Monday morning, September 14, to complete their physical fitness testing. We wanted to give our school community a heads-up, as there will likely be a number of police vehicles on site during morning arrival. This is a scheduled training activity and there is no cause for concern. Just a reminder that the Cassadaga Valley School District has a close relationship with local law enforcement and allows the use of our facilities. If there was an actual emergency, the district will notify you.

Thank you for your understanding!

Cassadaga Valley is looking for a Mechanic III to join our amazing transportation department! Interested applicants should complete the Non-Instructional/Chautauqua County Civil Service Application (found on CVCS website - https://www.cvcougars.org/page/employment-opportunities ) and submit a letter of interest and resume to the Superintendent's office OR Transportation Supervisor, ksercu@cvcougars.org.

Happy New Year, Cassadaga Valley! A September Message from Tammy Mangus, Superintendent of Schools:

The children in these pictures were just beginning kindergarten.

Today, they are our seniors.

How did that happen so fast?

In what feels like a blink, crayons became Chromebooks, backpacks got heavier, and those tiny kindergarteners began making decisions about life after graduation. As Kenny Chesney reminds us (and I love a good Kenny Chesney reminder): “Don’t blink.”

Because suddenly, the first-day pictures become graduation pictures, the years we thought we had become memories, and the children we were guiding are ready to find their own way.

Time flies, and opportunity cannot wait.

We have only a few precious years to help every child discover who they are, recognize what they can become and build a pathway to help get them there. Whether their next step is college or training, military service, a meaningful career or a business of their own it is our job to make sure they are ready to be Enrolled, Enlisted, Employed or Entrepreneurs who have choices, direction, confidence, possibility, and momentum.

Our goal is bigger than helping students graduate. We want them prepared to build lives filled with purpose, stability and opportunity. We want them not merely ready for their next step, but equipped to Thrive at 25.

That work begins long before senior year. It happens each time a child masters a difficult skill, discovers a new interest, joins a team, finds a trusted adult, steps into leadership or begins to believe, "Maybe I could do that."

A new school year is more than a fresh calendar. It is another year to open doors, uncover talents, strengthen essential skills and help students imagine futures they may not yet be able to see for themselves. It will take all of us to do this important work. So, Happy New Year students, staff, families and the entire Valley community! Let's roll up our sleeves and get to work. And remember: Don’t blink, time goes faster than we think....
