Middle School May Newsletter

As part of our Earth Day celebration, our 7th grade students participated in a fish stocking event at the Corinth Reservoir. Students were given the unique opportunity to stock the reservoir with brook Trout!

Thank you Mrs. Kayla Butler and the 7th grade team for facilitating this valuable experience! A shout out to the Saratoga County NY Government for inviting Corinth Middle School students to participate!!!

In honor of Earth Day, several grade levels walked around our facility and helped tidy up our beautiful campus. Thank you to our entire staff, especially Ms.Haskell, Mr. Marine and Mrs. Lefebre for helping to model our monthly Positivity Project character strength: Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence!

Spring is in the air! Students are enjoying the warmer weather and are preparing for the final 8 weeks of the school year. It's critical that students continue to work hard and make academics their top priority.

My name is Zachary Vila, or most students call me Mr. V. I am the new 7th grade social studies teacher. I would like to thank everyone for welcoming me so warmly into the community. Since I am not originally from around here, I would like to share some information about myself with you. I am originally from Long Island and I'm a recent graduate from SUNY Geneseo. I earned my Eagle Scout patch a few years ago and I have a love for the outdoors that Long Island could not satisfy. As a history major, I love bringing history to life in the classroom and I enjoy using interactive lessons in my classes. I am excited to serve the community and look forward to working with all of you!

As we prepare for the 2024-2025 school year, I would like to remind all families of the NYS Health requirements for attending school in the fall. The New York State Department of Health requires both immunization and health physicals for middle school students entering specific grades. Please review the information listed below:

Grade 5

Health Physical

Grade 6

Immunization - Tdap vaccine - (which is a tetanus shot)

Grade 7

Health Physical &

Immunization - First meningococcal vaccine

Grade 8

No additional health information is required

Please submit proof of a physical health exam and/or required immunization to the health office prior to the start of the school year. Proof of immunization is required 14 days from the start of school. This proof is required for continued school attendance and is reported to the state yearly. Specific New York State Immunization Regulations are available on the NYSDOH website. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the middle school office.

As we get ready for the end of the school year, we are already preparing for 2024-2025. Driving a school bus is a great and rewarding job. Benefits include paid training, NYS Retirement, sick time, personal time and much more.

We do all the training on site and guide you through the process. Not sure? Stop by for a test drive!
