Raider Update: Week of October 7, 2024
The Raider Update Week of October 7, 2024 Superintendent's Message Often, we hear society lament how discouraged they are in the next generation. Too often, we look down on the next generation as not having what it takes to make our society better, that they are lazy or undisciplined, or that they will never make anything of themselves. As enter my thirtieth year in education, I continue to be amazed at just how wrong we are about the next generation. Each next generation does indeed have what it takes. On Friday, J. W. Leary Principal Halliday received the following email from an individual: Dear Shane Halladay, I am a high school teacher in Saratoga Springs. Yesterday we had the day off for Rosh Hashana and a fellow teacher and I decided to continue our Fire Tower challenge goal. We decided to drive to Azure Mountain for our climb. When we arrived in the middle of absolutely nowhere, we were shocked to see three school busses and definitely uttered a collective groan. I thought you should know that EVERY SINGLE student of yours on that hike impressed us. They were all extremely polite, happy and respectful. They asked to pet our dogs, moved out of the way for us older folk and encouraged us to keep going. Not one student was heard swearing etc. In a world where we can hear lots of negative feedback I wanted to share how amazing Massena Junior High students are. Have a good weekend. Respectfully, (Name Kept Confidential) Congratulations to our Junior High Students. Without fanfare, these students have demonstrated the character essential to making a positive mark on their world. Our students do indeed have what it takes. We should take great pride in our truly wonderful students at Massena! Respectfully, Ron Burke Student Spotlight Congratulations to Tori Cusworth who has now set new school records for Girls Swim in both the 200 and 500 free! Tori is a seventh-grade student at JW Leary. We are proud of the hard work and determination that Tori demonstrates as a student-athlete! High School Update J.W. Leary Update Jefferson Update Madison Update Nightengale Update

Superintendent's Update for the Week of September 30...
The Raider Update Week of September 30, 2024 Superintendent's Message As required by the New York State Education Department (NYSED) every school district will be participating in a regionalization planning study beginning this Fall. NYSED defines regionalization as: A collaborative model for addressing student needs and exploring operational efficiencies where districts can engage in conversations and partner with others around a variety of solutions. NYSED recognizes the many challenges facing school districts across the state, including: Teacher recruitment/retention Funding/aid Transcript Gap Disparities in the high school coursework and access to high-quality Each of the eighteen component school districts within the St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES will work collaboratively to create a regionalization plan that is designed to improve student opportunities and operational efficiencies through shared resources. When finished, each BOCES across New York State will have created a regionalization plan resulting in a total of thirty-seven locally developed plans. It is important to note that regionalization will not necessarily result in school mergers. Rather, the intent is for schools to share scarce resources for the benefit of students.
