Dear Chenango Valley Community,

As we approach the close of another rewarding year, I want to express my gratitude for the dedication and support that make Chenango Valley such a special place. Whether it's celebrating our students at concerts and sporting events or contributing to our holiday programs, you consistently show up for each other. I am so thankful for that.

Winter Recess Reminder: As a reminder, our schools will be closed for winter break from Monday, December 23, through Friday, January 3. We will welcome our students and staff back on Monday, January 6.

Winter Recess Office Hours: Please be aware that some of our offices will operate on modified schedules, or may be closed on certain days during the break. We will post these specific office hours on our district website for your reference.

Local Food Resources Available During Winter Recess: During Winter Recess, several local resources are available to support families needing food assistance. Thank you to Rock on Café and the Broome County Food Council for providing this helpful list for reference: https://www.cvcsd.stier.org/protected/ArticleView.aspx?iid=5000BB&dasi=2P2

 

There’s Still Time to Register for the Lourdes School-Based Dental Program: If you would like your student to participate in the Lourdes School-Based Dental Program at Chenango Valley, the deadline to submit paperwork has been extended to Friday, January 10. Please return the paperwork to your student’s health office by this date. For questions or to request a copy of the paperwork, contact Chris Paske, our Community School Coordinator, via email at [email protected] or by phone at 607-762-6918 or 607-788-5877.

I wish each of you a restful and joyful break. This season is a great time to rest and recharge as we look forward to the exciting possibilities that 2025 will bring. Thank you for all that you do to make our district a wonderful place to learn and grow.

Sincerely,

Dr. Larry Dake
