Casey Families:

The school year is off to a fantastic start! It’s been wonderful to see students settling into their routines, and the positive energy throughout the school is setting the tone for a successful year ahead.

I’m excited to share that our after-school clubs will be starting soon! These extracurricular activities offer your child a chance to build positive relationships and feel connected to our school community. You can explore all of our club offerings on WITS or by clicking THIS LINK. I encourage your child to get involved and make the most of the exciting opportunities Casey has to offer!

Looking ahead, our Skating Party is scheduled for Wednesday, October 9th, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Rainbow Skateland in Lockport. Hosted by our Student Government, this event is a wonderful opportunity for students to have fun, socialize, and connect with their peers outside of the classroom. Tickets will be available for purchase at school starting the week of the event. Pre-sale only.

Lastly, our fire drills are currently underway, and we will continue practicing these important safety procedures while the weather is still warm.

Thank you for your continued partnership.

Dr. Curella, Principal

EARLY RELEASES

If you are picking up your child for an early release that has been arranged with attendance, you will need to come into the Casey Main Entrance to sign your child out. Please remember to send in a note for early releases, late arrivals, and absences. You can also report your student's attendance by logging into WITS and clicking on the Daily Attendance line on the homepage.

DROPPING OFF FORGOTTEN ITEMS

If you are dropping off an item for your student, please ensure the item is labeled with the student’s name. For your convenience, post-it notes are available in our lobby across from the green drop-off carts. For sanitary reasons, we ask that any clothing items or shoes be placed in a bag before dropping them off. Your cooperation is appreciated.

VISITORS TO CASEY

All District buildings, including Casey Middle School, are using the RAPTOR system to sign visitors in/out. All visitors must enter the building at the main entrance on Casey Road. Please be prepared to show government issued ID, such as a valid driver’s license, upon entering Casey. We will scan your ID and issue a visitors badge to be worn for the duration of your visit.

Upstate Images will be here doing our student portraits this year. Click or scan the QR code and use code: casey24 to order photos for your student(s). This code will be good for only 48 hours after picture day.
