Please join me in welcoming Kellan Smith to Saranac Community Schools. Kellan has been hired to serve as a recess para at the elementary school. Kellan will also continue to fill in as a substitute teacher K-12 and will serve as our varsity boys' basketball coach starting this winter season. Kellan is close to completing a degree in social work. Please join me in welcoming Kellan Smith to the Saranac Community Schools family.

Parents, Students who are in the building after 3:00 PM must be with a coach or staff member. A staffed lab is open until 3:45 daily. Students should not stay after school to wait for a late practice or game departure unless a coach is here to supervise the students. Coaches should arrive in time to supervise players arriving before bus departures. Parents, please do not drop your students off earlier than 15 minutes before bus departure. For home games, coaches should direct athletes to arrive at a time when a coach will be here to supervise them. At no time should elementary siblings be at the JSH to "watch practices" or wait until an older sibling is finished with practice. This is a safety concern, as there is no supervision scheduled in the building for unaccompanied students after 3:45 PM. Thank you for your help!

Please remember there will be no school Friday, November 15th.
