Across the nation school districts will celebrate the important role military children play while their service member parents serve our country by wearing the color purple.

Purple is a combination of Army green, Marine Corps red, Coast Guard blue, Air Force blue, and Navy blue; it is the appropriate color to represent military children from all branches. On average, military children attend 6-9 schools between grades K-12. You can find out more here: https://www.nysed.gov/curriculum-instruction/month-military-child.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the staging area originally planned for the space along Bulldog Boulevard has been relocated to the softball field parking lot at the end of Branch Street and a portion of the Southeast corner of the High School parking lot. The softball parking lot at the end of Branch Street will be shared with the construction staging and the school athletic teams for the duration of the capital project. Additional parking for the softball field and pickleball court remains available around the Connell Building on Spring St. and School Street and at the Elementary School.
The Auditorium entrance of the Middle/High School will be closed beginning Monday, April 1, 2024, and continue until that portion of the Capital Project is completed. All staff and students should use the main entrance doors to enter the building during the school day. After-school activities and after-school visitors for events or continuing education may use the Middle School's main entrance.
