DISTRICT ISSUED DEVICES
All students in grades K - 2 will be issued an ipad on the first day of school. Students will be taking the devices back and forth between home and school. When they do, please make sure that the device is only used for school purposes. Additionally the students are not permitted to download anything on the District device.
Please take some time to review the Suffern Central School District Acceptable Use Policy.

Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
As we all prepare for the first day of school, I want to remind you to review the arrival and dismissal procedures. Please click on the link for the procedures.
Please make sure that the office is aware of your child's dismissal plan. All students take the bus home unless we are alerted otherwise.

Meal Code
The District offers breakfast and lunch daily, free of charge. The lunch menu is located on the Suffern Central Website. Students will need to know their pin code in order to receive meals. Your child's teacher will give your child a card with their meal code on it. To help us speed up the breakfast/lunch line, please encourage your child to memorize their meal code. I have asked the teachers to send the codes home on the 1st day of school. We appreciate your support!
Stay Hydrated
Proper hydration is very important. We have refillable water stations throughout the building. Please send your child to school with a refillable water bottle.
Don't forget to label your child's belongings. Water bottles, lunch boxes, even jackets! You would be surprised how quickly the lost and found fills up!

FROM THE PTA
Save the Dates
We are VERY excited to share the 24-25 PTA Meeting schedule. This year we have both a remote and an in person option. The PTA is also hoping to offer daycare for those who need it. Please join us for as many as you are able. PTA Meetings are a great way to make friends and learn about what's happening in our schools.
