Building principals emailed all M-W families on Wednesday, August 6, sharing information about school-specific procedures related to the implementation of the NYS Distraction-Free Schools Law during the 2025-26 school year. Please use the links below to read the messages:
There are some important links for parents/guardians found within the messages:
Crusader Chat: District leaders recorded a Crusader Chat, during which community questions were answered. View the Crusader Chat.
Upcoming Virtual Crusader Chats: Families have two additional opportunities to learn more about the distraction-free schools law during virtual meetings with district leaders on Monday, August 25, from 12:30-1:30 p.m. or from 6:00-7:00 p.m. Please complete the online form to share your contact information and we will send you a Google Meet link closer to the Chat date.
Exemption Requests: Families may request an exemption under specific circumstances, such as for documented medical or disability reasons. A committee will consider each request on a case-by-case basis. Please complete the online exemption request form if you would like to request an exemption for your child. Submission of this form does not guarantee approval, but it is the first step in the review process.
Visit the Distraction-Free Schools page on the district website for updates and latest information.
