Two-hour delay reminder; schedule update

Good morning,

This is a reminder that this Friday, Feb. 3, there is a 2-hour delay for staff development for both the Elementary and Jr./Sr. High School. On this day, buses will pick up students and doors will open two hours later, just as they would for a 2-hour delay due to weather. 

Our staff and faculty will report to school at their normal times to focus on planning and improving how we deliver our academic programming and support services. The 2-hour delay will not apply for morning BOCES students, who would be transported to their BOCES facilities according to the normal schedule. 

Looking ahead, there will be another 2-hour delay for staff development for both the Elementary and Jr./Sr. High Schools on Friday, March ,and then 2-hour delays will only be scheduled for the Jr./Sr. High School for the remainder of the year.

2-hour Delay Schedule

Friday, Feb. 3 – 2-hour delay for the Elementary and Jr./Sr. High School
Friday, March 10 – 2-hour delay for the Elementary and Jr./Sr. High School
Tuesday, April 25 – 2-hour delay for the Jr./Sr. High School only
Monday, May 22 – 2-hour delay for the Jr./Sr. High School only 

While the district already has designated staff development days at different points during the year, the two-hour periods each month will allow us to better address professional development needs as we head into the crucial final months of the school year. 

We know that changes to the normal school routine can sometimes be frustrating, especially for younger students who may need care. We thank you in advance for your understanding.

Sincerely,
Schoharie CSD
