Dear Cortland Community,
As we approach the close of another year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the many accomplishments and milestones that have defined our school year so far. Our Early College High School cohort is up and running; fall sports and club seasons were successful; our teacher collaborative teams, guiding coalitions and SEL teams continue to innovate; celebrations throughout our buildings continue. December is a time for celebration, gratitude, and coming together as a community, and this newsletter offers a perfect opportunity to highlight some of the incredible work happening across our district.
In the spirit of the season, I am proud to see our students, staff, and families continuing to work together in support of our shared mission: to ensure high levels of learning for every student. We help every student to be ready for career, college, and citizenship, having reached competency in our essential social emotional and academic learning standards.
As always, I am deeply grateful for the ongoing partnership and commitment from our staff, families, and community members. Your unwavering support plays a crucial role in making our district a place where students thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
In this edition, you'll find updates on exciting initiatives, upcoming events, and a look at the achievements that make Cortland such a special place for learning. I encourage you to take a moment to read through and reflect on all that we’ve accomplished together. Most importantly, please consider joining us for a winter sports game or for one of our many upcoming concerts. This is the season to enjoy all the talents of our students!
Wishing you all a peaceful and joyous holiday season. Here's to a bright and promising year ahead!
Warm regards,
Bob Edwards
