It's the third day of school and we have smiles all around! The 4th grade has been using their WIN time before our groups start to work on team building, communication, and strategic planning.





Big news! This means that breakfast and lunch will be free for all students PK-12 through the 2025-26 school year. #foreverfalcons



Don't let the weather fool you, the forecast for the 2022-2023 South Seneca Central School District is nothing but smiles and good vibes. Just like that, we are BACK. #backtoschool #foreverfalcons

Sunday, August 14: For those noticing fire companies responding to our Middle-High School this morning, smoke alarms alerted us to a pump motor failure in the building. All is well and the motor is being replaced.

On Friday August 12th, 5-7pm Lodi Whittier Library will host scientists from Cornell’s Yang Center of Bioacoustics at the Lab of Ornithology in a program entitled : Let’s Listen To the Voices of the Ocean!
These scientists have been listening to underwater sound from around the globe for thirty-five years and counting By developing and applying innovative technology locally, the lab is helping people everywhere tune in to the voices of creatures dwelling in our oceans both large and small- from shrimp to whales. Through listening to these songs of the sea, they hope to inspire communities to dive deep into the science and join in on the conversation together.
This program is FREE and open to everyone. No registration needed. There will be fun give-aways as supplies last!


Always prioritize mental health! #foreverfalcons

Dear South Seneca Family,
We’re excited to be continuing our strategic planning process. Thank you for your participation in the initial community thought exchange. The response was excellent and your feedback was very helpful as we began the process of establishing our mission, vision and core values. Our next step is to work with a large group of community, staff, Board of Education and Leadership Team members to develop ideas for how to meet the district’s objectives in each of the areas that we have prioritized.
Please join us for a community stakeholders' meeting on Tuesday, August 9 at the Middle-High School in Ovid from 4-8pm to participate!


To the South Seneca Central School District,
A Safety Update for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year:
