Principal's Message
Dear Niton Central School Community,
It was a great full week of learning at Niton Central School although the cold weather interfered with our skating plans! We are anticipating more cooperative weather this week. This upcoming week is a short one with only three days of school. Teachers will be participating in their annual Teachers' Convention on Thursday and Friday. There is no school for students on those days.
Have a great week!

Winter is here...
Please ensure your student is dressed for the outside weather. Some students may need an extra pair of socks and mitts in case they become wet. Grades K - 6 students go outside three times per day until the temperature (including windchill) reaches -20 C. We always include the windchill when we are gauging the temperature.
