π·ββοΈπ§π οΈ School Building Update π οΈπ§π·ββοΈ
The school currently has some minor construction (installation of new lighting in the classrooms and replacing exterior doors) taking place and the maintenance team is in the final stages of cleaning and prepping for the start of the new school year. With these things taking place, we are trying to limit visitors to the school through Friday, August 26 when all work is scheduled to be completed.
A huge thank you to Mr. Ezman, Mr. Tague, and their teams for all the work they are going to get the school ready for September!
All hands on deck for a vinyl installation of our Alma Mater in one of our stairway landings.
A high school classroom with updated ceilings, lighting, and fans.

Thank you to the Clinton Central School District Foundation for their generous gift of a vinyl cutter that made this project possible!

The most efficient way for counselors to process your questions and concerns is via email. Please note, requests to change courses based on teacher preference will not be honored or considered. Additionally, if your child is enrolled in Physics or Learning Center, no teacher will be listed as we currently in the final hiring stages for those courses.

If your last name starts with letters L-Z, your counselor is Mrs. Zegarelli (kzegarelli@ccs.edu).
In your email:

State what your problem or concern is.
State how you would like the matter resolved.
Dear Mrs. Snizek,
I am writing to let you know I was placed in AP Studio Art: Drawing. I had requested to take AP Studio Art 2D Design. Can you please switch which course I am enrolled in?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Matthew Lee
