Hello Parents and Students,

Happy Thanksgiving.  I hope that our families can be with loved ones this week.  I am including some very important updates below.  Please read these carefully.  If you have any particular questions for me or Mrs. Butler,  please let us know.  My extension is 3101, and Mrs. Butler's is 3112.  Your calls will get to both of our cell phones if we're not not in the office.  It will be very important to keep tabs on the schedule for the two weeks after the Thanksgiving break, so please click on the rotation calendar linked in #2 below. 

Parents, thank you very much for all of the support of the school and your students through this most challenging time.  We will continue to get through this thing together. As always, let us know how we can help. 

Tim Houseknecht, Principal

Important points:

  1. Parent-Teacher conferences:  After closing out our first marking period, we are scheduling parent-teacher conferences,  which will be virtual meetings or phone conferences.  The vast majority of meetings still take place on December 3rd.  We will use the 8th and possibly other days for anything we can’t fit on the 3rd.   If making a meeting on December 3rd is inconvenient, we will work to get you a day and time that is.  

    1. Middle School Parent-Teacher conferences: Home base teachers are arranging meetings for the Middle School, and teachers are currently calling.

    2. High School Parent-Teacher conferences:  Please fill out this survey to schedule a conference for one or more of your children. If a meeting has already been arranged, there is no need to fill this out.

  2. Please keep a close eye on our Middle/High rotation calendar linked here.  The Seneca/Cayuga rotation days have changed because of our pre-arranged parent-teacher conferences.

  3. The week of November 30th to December 4th will be fully remote at South Seneca.  For any BOCES programs, students will be able to attend, and there will be separate communication from us as needed. 

  4. Please make sure to fill out the consent form for Covid testing of students, which is linked here. If you have already filled it out in paper form, there is no need to do this. 

  5. The Remote School Meal form is linked here. This form is for you to complete if you would like to get school meals when school is fully remote.

  6. Google Classroom for Guardians Would you like to monitor your child's classroom progress?  Send an email to your child's teachers if you haven't been invited as a guardian.  By using that feature, you'll receive regular reports from Google Classroom. 

You can find some great new additions at our school store.  Here's the link: https://pnj-express.square.site/south-seneca-gear
