Hello Chenango Forks Families,
April is off to a very exciting start as we have just come back from spring break and enjoyed a very rare solar eclipse! As we move through the month, I'd like to remind families in grades 3-8 that we will be administering our NYS exams during this month. The best advice that we can suggest for our students preparing for these assessments is to get a good night's rest and to enjoy a healthy breakfast. We are excited to celebrate the academic achievements of our students!
Also this month, our district-wide habit of the month is to focus on Synergy. Synergy is the culmination of all of the other habits, it is the practice of maximizing the strengths of others around us to create a new product that is greater than it's parts. It's not your way or my way, it's creating a new better way together!
Please enjoy the updates for April. Thank you again to our building principals for helping to put this together. As a heads up, our May Updates newsletter will also contain our budget report card and other district information leading up to our our budget vote on May 21st. Copies of next month's newsletter will also be mailed to each home in our district.
Have an amazing April!
Sincerely,
Tom Burkhardt, Superintendent
