St. Lawrence Central Elementary School

Good morning, In an effort to maintain safety for all at our parent drop off line we'd like to request that parents do not get out of their car, but rather just let their child out to walk along the sidewalk into school. Also, please do not drive around the drop off line. We appreciate your patience and cooperation with this. It is our hope that this will ensure a safe and efficient drop off.

Good morning! Book it has changed back to printed certificates for pizzas that I will send home with your child. You will get a monthly message from me stating when I am sending them home and opening registration up for new participants each month. I will send out the October certificates by Friday. They are good until December 12th. Thank you for your patience! Mrs. Ronan

On Thursday, we celebrated First Responders' Day. We have so many local heroes to thank for sharing this day with us! A great big "Larries" thank you goes out to the following organizations: West Stockholm Fire Department, North Lawrence Fire Department, Lawrenceville Fire Department, Brasher–Winthrop Fire Department, New York State Troopers, New York State Troopers Scuba Team, U.S. Border Patrol, New York State Forest Rangers, and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. None of this would have happened without our amazing staff, who goes above and beyond by planning this event. Special thanks to Amber Tuper, Molly Brouillette, and Allison Fountain for taking the lead on organizing this event. You are heroes too!

We are kicking off our First Responders' Day with a fire drill which will be dispatched over the scanner to have BWFD respond. Please be aware that this is just a drill and we do appreciate the collaboration with all of our local first responders.

The last day to sign up for Youth Basketball (grades K-6) is tonight, October 2nd, from 6-7:30 in the High School lobby. Please click on the link for more information: https://5il.co/2y298

Good morning Larries! Please be sure to join us this evening, from 5:00 to 6:30 for Open House! Meet your child's teacher and see where they spend their time during the school day. Please be mindful that this is not the time to have private conversations with the teacher about your child's progress, as there will be other students and families in and out of the classroom. Our first quarter parent- teacher conferences will be held on Monday, November 25 and Tuesday, November 26. This will be a great opportunity to have more in depth conversations with your child's teacher. Of course, if you have concerns before then, please reach out to your child's teacher directly, at any time. Tonight Mrs. Hahn will be available to provide support for families who still need to connect to Rooms, or may have questions about the app. The PTO has a table set up in the lobby. This is a wonderful organization that supports the children of our community in many ways. Please consider volunteering with them. Any way you are able to help is greatly appreciated! They will also have the Scholastic Book Fair set up in our cafeteria, so be sure to check out the book selection! Our school counselors, Ms. White an Mrs. McFarland, will have our costume closet open for those who would like to look for their perfect Halloween costume! This will also be located in the cafeteria. While you are in the cafeteria, please be sure to check out some helpful resources that Mrs. McFarland will have available. Lastly, I would like to thank our PTO for the lovely fall decorations out front of our school. We look forward to seeing you this evening! Respectfully, Mrs. Colterman

Hi SLC families, We have had a great start to the school year! One area we are struggling with is communication through our new Rooms feature on our BFCSD app. All elementary students will be bringing home a paper with more information on how to join their teacher's Room on the app. If you continue to struggle with joining, you can reach out to Vanessa Hahn by calling the school (315-389-5131) or emailing her (vhahn@bfcsd.org). Mrs. Dishaw may be able to help in the elementary office as well. We appreciate your patience as we work through our shared frustration with this transition. Change is hard but once we get everyone connected, we are hopeful this will facilitate more communication between home and school. Enjoy your weekend! Mrs. Colterman

Mrs. Dishaw's email address is wdishaw@bfcsd.org. Please send any information on your dismissal plans to her. Thank you!
