Good afternoon South Seneca Students, Staff, Parents and Community, With the school year newly over and our graduates planning for their next steps, our focus is already turning toward the upcoming 2025–2026 school year. We’d like to take a moment to inform you about two important statewide changes that will take effect on September 1, 2025, and how our district is preparing to implement them. 🌡️ Classroom Temperature Limits – Effective September 2025 - New legislation mandates that classroom temperatures be monitored and must not exceed 88°F. The district is currently assessing our facilities and operational plans to ensure full compliance with this requirement. On particularly hot days, we may need to shift to half-day schedules or other alternatives. Should such changes be necessary, we will communicate them with families well in advance and with clarity. 📵 Ban on Internet-Connected Personal Devices During the School Day – Effective September 2025 - Also beginning in September, a new statewide ban will restrict the use of personal internet-enabled devices—such as smartphones, smartwatches, and tablets—during instructional hours. School-issued technology used for educational purposes will still be allowed. However, all personal devices with internet access will need to be turned off and stored away throughout the school day. We are in the process of crafting a district policy in response to this law and would value your input as part of our community. Please take a moment to complete a short survey to share your thoughts and help guide our planning 👉 Cell Phone Ban Survey https://forms.gle/dahDZLXYEZ51cF748 (if you would like a paper copy, they will be available in the district office for pickup starting July 7th) We appreciate your continued partnership and support as we work to ensure a strong and successful start to the new school year. With appreciation, Kyle Colunio Superintendent South Seneca Central School District

📢📢📢Summer Parking Update for Ovid Campus📢📢📢

As part of our ongoing commitment to campus improvements, we’ll be adjusting the traffic pattern on the Middle/ High School campus for the summer due to construction. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to create safer, more efficient parking areas on our Ovid Campus.

Juneteenth is a day to reflect on the past, and celebrate the future.
