Good morning,
On Monday June 23rd, the heat index is going to be very high with a real feel temperature of over 95 degrees. District wide, we are going to change our Monday to a half day for all students in order to avoid the unbearable afternoon heat and to keep our students safe. Please make arrangements accordingly.
The final Middle School PTO meeting of this school year will be on Wednesday, June 25th, at 6:00 PM, in MHS room #133. Join us!
🚲 What a wheel-y amazing bike safety day! Our students were rolling with excitement as local heroes and bike experts shared their knowledge!
A huge shoutout to our fantastic presenters - the Sinclairville Fire Department heroes 🚒, Jacob from Rails to Trails 🌲, and our incredible safety guru Floyd Kent! Special high-fives to our awesome high school role models Aaden, Wyatt, Ethan, and Landon who showed the younger students the ropes 🌟
The cherry on top? Lucky students from each grade pedaled away with brand new bikes! 🎉 The smiles and excitement were absolutely contagious - definitely a day that'll gear up our students for safe summer adventures! 🌞
(And yes, there were enough wheel-y good moments to last us until next time! 😄)🚴♂️

Just a little fun yesterday - Modified Softball vs Modified Baseball! ⚾️🥎
🎙️ A couple of summers ago, our IT Director, Mr. Phil Bens, launched a podcast featuring conversations with teachers and staff here at SES. Through his role, he’s always found that building strong relationships is key to making a difference—and he loves getting to know the people who make our school community so special.
In this episode, he chats with Vicki Martin, Fitness Center Manager, and a few students about how they’ve been working toward their training goals. It’s a great glimpse into the hard work, growth, and support happening every day in our CV community. 💪
📺 Check out the video below and hear their inspiring stories!
