Notes from Split Rock Elementary
October 3, 2022
Message from Split Rock Elementary School Principal
It was a great five days as we celebrated our first Spirit Week of the year. Throughout the week, we have celebrated:
- Wildcat Kindness
- Color Your World
- Embrace Your Differences
- Celebrate Yourself and Other
- Comfort Others
A big thanks to our PTO for sponsoring and facilitating the week-long event for both staff and students. We continue to roll when looking at our academic instruction and learning as both staff and students are in the groove with their daily schedules and curriculum work in all subject areas. Our Wildcats have done a wonderful job and continue to BE AWESOME each day!

Meet our School Patrol Officer: Officer Timothy MacDerment
We would like to welcome Officer Timothy MacDerment to Split Rock Elementary. Officer MacDerment is their new School Patrol Officer (SPO) and will be in the building working with both staff and students each school day!
Officer MacDerment is a SUNY Canton alumnus, where he received his Associate of Applied Science in Criminal Justice and obtained his Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice at SUNY Brockport.
He started his career with the Town of Manlius Police Department as a Patrol Officer for five years. This was followed by 15 years of service in the Syracuse Police Department, working in several divisions ranging from Patrol to Criminal Investigation and Detective to Crime-Scene Unit.
