There is no denying the dangers and risks of social media for children. The Union-Endicott CSD has partnered with First On Training and Consulting to bring you an informative evening on April 25, 2023 from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM. The forum will take place at the Union-Endicott District Office Board Room located at 1100 East Main Street, Endicott, NY.

As school communities, it is our responsibility to educate and empower our families and provide them with information and opportunities to learn and have questions answered. Equally important, we need to provide families strategies from community professionals dedicated to this type of work. What will the evening include? 6:00 – 6:05: Welcome and introductions 6:05 – 7:05: Presentation, “Social Media Awareness for K-12 Parents” 7:05 – 7:30: Question & answer session with audience The presenter, Matthew Barcak, is a current law enforcement professional with decades of experience working with the dangers of social media. He will bring his expertise and experience to help parents feel informed and confident, not confused, or scared. We hope you can attend and be part of this important conversation.

Today is World Down Syndrome Day, Whitney Point CSD is proud to celebrate students of all abilities!

Last week, Community Schools & the HS Freshman Academy partnered with the Financial Literacy for Youth Binghamton University Club (FLY). FLY had 9th graders pick a career such as dentist, psychologist, electrician, doctor with a base salary and students went through different life experiences such as buying a house, having kids, pets while also having to buy groceries, Netflix, have a phone bill etc. and plan for unexpected expenses such as paying for a flooded kitchen. Students quickly found out how expensive life can really be! Students learned about budgeting and priorities.

CAPITAL PROJECT UPDATE: If you haven't noticed yet, something exciting is happening on our Elementary and High School Campus! Construction has begun on our Capital Project, and we are very excited to see our landscape change and grow as we break ground on a brand-new pool facility and multi-purpose sports field stadium with lights! *While this is an amazing project for WPCSD, we would like to note that our pool will be closed to the public starting April 1, 2023 (unfortunately not an April Fool's Joke) - Tymeson Field is now closed, however, we hope to have it completed in time for Fall Sports!

The Early Eagles program is for babies, toddlers, and preschool aged children in the Whitney Point School District. Our goal is to connect with families at a young age and to provide free books and literacy activities. In February we met and read The Mitten by Jan Brett. Afterwards, the children and caregivers enjoyed several crafts and activities as well as interreacted with our special guests, Mothers and Babies. The next Meet Up Monday will be held on March 20th. Please join us for Storytime, arts and crafts, breakfast foods, coffee, and free books! We will meet at the CEA cafeteria from 9:30- 11:00 AM.
