🍎 A legendary visitor stopped by our school yesterday! 🍎
Our Kindergarten students were so excited to celebrate the birthday of the one and only Johnny Appleseed! He shared delicious apples with all the students and brought history to life right here in the classroom.
It was a truly memorable experience that sparked so much curiosity about nature and history!
A huge, heartfelt thank you to Mr. Wisniewski for bringing this beloved character to life! You've officially earned the title of "Our Very Own Johnny Appleseed."
Subject: Upcoming Lockdown Drill at Hammondsport CSD
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe and secure learning environment, Hammondsport Central School District will be conducting a lockdown drill tomorrow, Friday, September 26, 2025. Please be aware that these drills are mandatory under New York State regulations and are an important part of our overall safety preparedness.
We recognize that the idea of a lockdown drill can sometimes cause anxiety for students. To help prepare your child and ease concerns, we encourage you to speak with them ahead of time. Here are a few talking points you may find helpful:
Purpose: Explain that just like fire drills, lockdown drills are practice to help everyone know what to do in case of an emergency.
Reassurance: Remind them that there is no danger during the drill—it is only practice.
Importance of listening: Encourage them to follow their teacher’s directions carefully and stay calm.
Safety first: Let them know that the school’s priority is always their safety and well-being.
Our goal is to conduct the drill in a calm, age-appropriate manner that emphasizes safety and preparedness. By partnering with you, we can ensure students understand the importance of the drill while feeling supported and reassured.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to my office. Thank you for your continued support in helping us maintain a safe school environment.
