PUBLIC NOTICE AUGUST 28 The South Seneca Board of Education will conduct a special meeting Wednesday, August 30 at 5:30pm to make summer personnel appointments and to review the District Code of Conduct. After any Public To Be Heard at this meeting, and before new business, the Board will enter into Executive Session to discuss the employment history of a particular person. Understanding that the inclusion of a new Elementary Principal is on this agenda, unforeseen at the time this agenda was set, a Special Public To Be Heard section will be added to the meeting. Any members of the public wishing to speak about our hiring process in general will be invited to sign up to do so prior to the business portion of the meeting. Please contact District Clerk Shelley Reynolds by 4pm Wednesday at sreynolds@southseneca.org to place your name on the list to speak. As always, for anyone wishing to address the board about a particular person, they are asked to send those comments in writing to aprentice@southseneca.org or to szielinski@southseneca.org so that they can be reviewed by the full board in Executive Session.

The South Seneca Central School District is adding another tool to its communication toolkit: the ParentSquare app. ​Superintendent Steve Parker Zielinski explained how he hopes the new communication asset will fit into the district's communication ecosystem. "We are excited to bring the ParentSquare app to our South Seneca school community in our ongoing effort to make communication to families as effective as possible," he said. "The South Seneca mobile app (via Apptegy) will continue to be our primary mode of communication from the district for all district-level messages," he continued. "It serves as the source of our “Live Feed” updates to make public notices, to promote the good news happening throughout the district, and to share announcements from other community groups." "ParentSquare will handle targeted communication to smaller groups, such as one particular school or grade level. It is an excellent way for teachers, coaches, and advisors to send messages to their rosters, or for a principal to get a message out to the group that needs it. We might on occasion duplicate a message from the South Seneca app on Parent Square, but in general, Parent Square is a tool to get messages to smaller groups," Zielinski added.
