NorthStar Lights

Hello North Syracuse Central School District Parents, Guardians, Teachers and Staff and Welcome Back!

And what a welcome it was! I spent time in each of our schools and facilities this week and had the opportunity to interact with many students, teachers, principals and building staff. I am proud to report that this year is off to a great start!

We welcome students back for five days of in-person instruction knowing they are back where they are meant to be. If you haven't had a chance to view the many back to school photos we received, please check out the Facebook album by clicking here.

Sincerely,

Daniel D. Bowles, Superintendent of Schools

On Friday, November 5, 2021, in honor of Veteran’s Day, the North Syracuse Central School District will honor a group of inductees to its Military Honor Roll. The Honor Roll was established in 2012 to recognize former District students that have gone on to military service.

In order for the honor roll to be as complete as possible when it is unveiled, we are asking for the community’s help. If you are a graduate of the District or have attended Cicero-North Syracuse High School and have gone on to military service for at least one year, please contact the District to be included.

Click here to submit your information for consideration. In order to be recognized during the November 5th ceremony, names must be submitted to the District no later than Friday, September 24, 2021.

Due to delays receiving updated COVID guidance, this year's print calendar has been delayed. The calendar is now available online at http://www.nscsd.org/tfiles/folder1084/Calendar%20Final%20web.pdf.

Please remember that this version of the District calendar is subject to change. While it serves as a reference for families in the North Syracuse Central School District, it is important to check the online calendar at www.nscsd.org/calendar to verify event dates and times and/or check with your child's school. The online calendar provides more specific, up-to-date event information than this print version. Users can customize their online calendar to include multiple schools, District events and meetings and can even download event information to their mobile devices.
