Yondr Pouch Collection:
We will begin to collect pouches that have been assigned to students this Friday!
On Friday, a staff member will have a collection box set up in the welcome center window in the main lobby of the high school.
As pouches are turned in, students will be checked off the list.
A pouch was assigned to all high school students on September 16, 2025 with an assigned number.
This pouch will be required to be handed in prior to the last day of school, or the student will incur a replacement charge of $20.
Please understand that our building is still required to maintain a distraction free learning environment for the remainder of the school year. We ask that any devices- phones, tablets, air pods, headphones, etc- are stored in lockers or backpacks during the school day.

Please see the attached notification - or information below- as we prepare to conclude our required drills for the 25-26 school year.

May/June 2026

Dear Parents/Caregivers/Guardians,
In New York state, all schools are required to conduct eight evacuation drills (fire drills), four lockdown drills, and one early-release drill each school year. Also, six of the evacuation drills and two of the lockdown drills must be done before Dec. 31 each school year.
All schools in New York state must conduct their safety drills in a “trauma-informed manner.” That means that our drills, such as fire or lockdown drills, need to avoid tactics that make it seem like an emergency, school shooting, or an act of violence is actually happening. This means we will never use props, actors, or simulations during our safety drills. The goal of our safety drills is to prepare, not scare our students, therefore, we will do the following:
• Parental Notification: A notice will be sent out within one week before any safety drill is conducted (at least one day and no more than seven days before the drill). This notification will not include the exact date and time of the safety drill.
• Drill Announcements: All drills (except for evacuation drills/fire drills) will be announced as drills. For example, a lockdown drill may be announced as “This is a drill. Lockdown, Lockdown, Lockdown. This is a drill.”
Safety drills help to keep our schools safe by letting us practice what to do should there be an emergency. Before we practice a drill, we teach students and staff what they need to do and talk about how the drill will be announced.
To remain in compliance, we will be conducting evacuation drills at the Middle/High School campus within one week of this message.

Please reach out to your building principal with any questions or concerns.
