Today the Center for Disease Control revised its guidance on social distancing in schools. The new CDC guidance allows school children in classrooms to move from a social distance of six feet to three feet as long as they continue to wear masks.
There are other areas of the guidance that have not yet been announced as well, as other areas within our schools where six feet still needs to be maintained. Before we can make any additional adjustments to our plan here in Cassadaga Valley, we need to hear if the New York State Department of Health and the Chautauqua County Department of Health will also adopt the new CDC guidance. Stay tuned! We will let you know as soon as we receive the additional direction needed - but this is definitely good news as we work to get all of our students back to school five days a week!
M/HS Students can now sign up for spring sports. Sign up sheets are on the wall across from the HS Gym entrance. Families must register on FamilyID to have their student participate.

Mrs. Schrader's algebra students celebrated Pi Day (3/14) by not only eating a pie bought, but also by making Pi Day bracelets with the color of beads matching the digits of pi until it would fit around their wrist. Pi is unending because it is an irrational number. The students also had hula-hoop and ring-toss contests.
