It has been wonderful to see everyone return and to feel the energy and excitement that comes with the beginning of a new school year. We have had a great start to the 2026–27 school year, and I am looking forward to all that lies ahead for our students, staff, and school community. As we begin this school year, we also pause today, September 11, to remember those who lost their lives and to honor the courage and service shown by so many. It is also a reminder of the strength that comes from standing together as a country and as a local community. Here at Fabius-Pompey, we will continue to carry that spirit of unity, kindness, and support for one another throughout the year. As a reminder, our next Board of Education meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 15 at 6:30 p.m. in the MS/HS Library. Elementary School Update: We have officially made it through our first week of school! It has been a great start, and we have enjoyed seeing our students back in the building, getting settled into their classrooms, and getting back into the routines of the school day. Thank you to our families for your patience and support as we worked through arrival, dismissal, transportation, and all of the other details that come with the first week. Our teachers and staff have worked hard to make the transition a smooth one for students, and we are looking forward to building on this positive start in the weeks ahead. A few important reminders as we settle into our routines: Parent Drop-Off Safety If you need to exit your vehicle, please park and walk your child to the door. For everyone's safety, please do not drive around vehicles in the drop-off line. If your child is able to safely exit the vehicle independently, please allow them to do so and continue moving through the line. This helps keep traffic moving and makes drop-off safer and more efficient for everyone. Dismissal Changes:  Please make sure any dismissal changes are entered into PickUp Patrol by 1:00 p.m. each day . You may also call the main office at 315-683-5857 to share changes.

The agenda was intentionally aligned with both our District Strategic Plan and statewide initiatives, including NY Inspires and the Portrait of a Graduate . We also wanted to provide staff with dedicated time to focus on curriculum, instructional technology, and best practices. Staff participated in a variety of technology workshops, worked on curriculum initiatives, and shared successful instructional and classroom-management strategies with colleagues. Our goal was to make the professional learning relevant and practical so staff members left with ideas, tools, and resources they can use directly in their planning and instruction throughout the school year. Falcon Athletics: F-P sports are in full swing! It was an exciting week for our Falcons, with several great performances on the soccer field. Our JV Girls Soccer team took on Cazenovia and came away with a win.

Mark Your Calendars: Communities Kickin’ Cancer Game Looking ahead, the Communities Kickin’ Cancer Game will be held here at Fabius-Pompey on Saturday, October 10 . This special event brings together athletes, families, and community members to raise awareness and support the fight against cancer. Don’t miss this meaningful day of sports, community, and solidarity. Stay tuned for more updates as our teams continue their fall seasons. Athletic Hall of Fame: The Fabius-Pompey Athletic Hall of Fame Ceremony will be held at Heritage Hill on Saturday, September 12 at 7:00 p.m. All are welcome, and we look forward to celebrating our inductees and seeing members of our Falcon community there. Thank you again to our students, families, faculty, staff, and community for helping make the first week of school such a successful one.

Welcome to the 2026-27 School Year!

Dear Fabius-Pompey Families, Welcome back. I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer and is ready for a new and exciting school year. We are looking forward to welcoming our students, faculty, and staff back to Fabius-Pompey as we begin the 2026-27 school year on Tuesday, September 8. A tremendous amount of work has taken place throughout the District over the summer. Our teachers, administrators, and staff have been busy preparing classrooms, programs, and buildings for the return of our students, and we are excited to get the year underway. Capital Project Updates: Our capital project has continued to progress nicely throughout the summer. A great deal has been accomplished, including: Paving work has been completed, and our parking lots are being striped. The new soccer field lights are up and running, and we have already had the opportunity to use them for several games. The Middle-High School gymnasium is undergoing a complete transformation and is going to be fantastic. We are hopeful that the remaining work will be completed within the next week or so. Additional improvements have been completed at the Elementary School, including upgrades to the sound systems in the auditorium and gymnasium. Our   new technology wing   is nearing completion and includes new welding booths and enhanced instructional spaces ,  providing students with expanded opportunities for hands-on learning and career and technical education. Overall, it has been a very productive summer, and we are excited for our students and community to enjoy these improvements. While portions of our Middle-High School building may remain under construction as we begin the school year, the building remains safely occupied and fully operational for students and staff. Project 2026 has been carefully planned and phased so that active construction areas are securely separated from occupied areas of the building. Appropriate barriers, access controls, safety procedures, and ongoing inspections are in place to ensure that construction activities do not interfere with the safe operation of the school. The safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority. The District Office has worked closely throughout the summer with our architects, construction management team, contractors, and other professionals to monitor conditions and ensure that all occupied areas remain safe and appropriate for teaching and learning. Welcome to Our New and Returning Staff Members: We are also pleased to welcome several new and returning members of the Fabius-Pompey team: Erin Rapp – Returning to Fabius-Pompey as our Elementary School Nurse Seth Durant – Elementary School Teacher Brenna Klawitter – Middle-High School Art Teacher Tim Gilbert – Returning to the Middle-High School as a Math Teacher We are excited to have each of them joining or returning to our school community. Thank You, Deputy Gabriel: As we begin the new school year, we are also saying goodbye to our longtime School Patrol Officer, Deputy William Gabriel, who has retired and relocated to North Carolina with his wife. Deputy Gabriel has been an important part of the Fabius-Pompey community and will be greatly missed by our students, staff, and families. We thank him for his many years of service, dedication, and commitment to the safety of our schools and wish him and his wife all the best in retirement. The District is currently working on securing his replacement and will share additional information when it becomes available. We are looking forward to a great 2026-27 school year and cannot wait to see everyone on Tuesday. The September lunch menu is included as an attachment to this ParentSquare message for families to review. Please take a moment to look it over as we begin the new school year. My weekly ParentSquare updates will resume each Friday throughout the school year to keep our families informed about District news, events, accomplishments, and important information. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and contact me. Have a wonderful opening to the school year. Dr. Lloyd L.
