District news heading

What's new on the district site?

Wed. hoops rescheduled to Tues.

 Basketball games originally scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 10 versus Duanesburg will be played on Tuesday, Feb. 9. The forecast of snow on Wednesday combined with Superintendent's Day, Winter Break, and the beginning of sectional games forced the school to reschedule the games. Boys will play in Duanesburg and the girls teams will be home. JV games begin at 6 p.m. and varsity follow at approximately 7:30 p.m.

Board of Education meeting rescheduled

The February 11 Board of Education meeting has been rescheduled to Thursday, February 18 due to Winter Break. Please mark your calendars.

Are school fundraisers really worth it?

We remind parents to help out by saving box tops, labels and to shop at Price Chopper. So it's not surprising that people would ask if all that cutting and saving is worth the effort. Does the school really benefit? The PTA will tell you, "Absolutely!"

As of December 3, 2009, the Canajoharie Central School supporters had recorded $73,091.23 in sales at Price Chopper! Your purchases will enable us to get some great stuff from the Price Chopper prize catalog. Money raised from our many fundraisers is used to fund field trips, classroom projects and other educational opportunities that aren't included in the general school budget. Without your help, many of the extras that make our children's schooling a special experience could never take place. (Learn more about each of our fundraisers)

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to support our fundraising efforts. You  make a difference. 

Canajoharie basketball to host "Coaches Versus Cancer" games and Senior Night

Canajoharie Central School will host its 2010 "Coaches Versus Cancer" basketball games on Tuesday, February 2 and Wednesday, February 3 versus Schoharie. Donations at the main entrance and 50-50 proceeds will be contributed to the KC Smith Foundation, a local charity to honor Canajoharie graduate KC Smith who lost her fight against breast cancer in 2009. On Feb. 2, varsity girls tip-off at 6 p.m. with varsity boys to follow immediately after at 7:30 p.m. Note that Feb. 2 is also Senior Night when we honor our seniors for the commitment and accomplishments on the court. The following evening, JV girls tip-off and 6 p.m. with the boys JV playing after. Bring your cash and be sure to wear pink in support of this worthy cause!

Recycling can pay off for school

Believe it or not, your garbage could mean serious cash for our school. The PTA earns 2¢ for recycling the following packaging:

  • Capri-Sun pouches

  • Frito Lay chip bags (Lays potato chips, Fritos, Doritos, Cheetos)

  • Mars candy bar wrappers (Skittles, M&Ms, Starburst, Twix, Snickers)

  • Nabisco cookie wrappers (Oreo, Chips Ahoy)

Just send us your empty wrappers and help out the environment! Learn more by checking out www.terracycle.net or contact Mrs. Eckler at the Middle School.

Clarifying the question of medication in school

Over the course of the year, a student's physician may feel that a student may require medication during the school day. But, an antibiotic shared with an allergic friend or a painkiller given to another who has an existing medical condition could be disastrous. To ensure the safety of all students, the district has specific rules for medicine in school. (read the specific rules)

New school security measures now in place

Visitors to our schools will encounter new security measures.

The new procedure which began Jan. 4, requires all visitors to enter the buildings through the exterior doors at the main entrances and speak with the secretary who then can unlock the inside doors with the push of a button. At East Hill and the high school, the secretaries can see guests through the office windows. In the middle school, the secretary will rely on a video camera and intercom system.

Superintendent Richard Rose noted that this change may be especially difficult for parents who are accustomed to freely entering school buildings to pick up their children or to drop off a forgotten lunch.

"We have always prided ourselves as being welcoming to parents," said Superintendent Richard Rose. "But, we also realize that we need to make some compromises to keep our children safe.

"We implement this measure to make the school a safer place for your children and to keep out unwanted guests or anyone that would pose a risk to the safety and welfare of our students.

"As parents, you are always welcome in our school. We appreciate your patience and apologize for the inconvenience that this will create." he said.

After school, the main entrances will be unlocked for meetings, sports practices, and school events.
