Dr. Morgano's Message - NYS Testing Schedule

I would like to share my thoughts with you regarding the NYS assessments in ELA and mathematics. I believe that these assessments provide the school district, teacher and especially the parents, with an objective measure of how well your child is progressing in the key areas of ELA and mathematics.
I encourage you to take advantage of these objective assessments that reveal how well your child is progressing. It is a fact that once your child is in high school, he or she will have to take Regents exams. As a parent and grandparent I would not want my child or grandchild to take a state assessment for the first time as a high school student.
The tests are not perfect. No test is. One could argue that the assessments are too long. That used to be true but today’s tests are a couple of hours long on two, not three different days. This is reasonable.
This year we are going to take the assessments on the computer. Students will be familiar with this process prior to the assessment dates as they will be taking class tests on the computer as well. (I have attached the 2018-2019 NYS assessment schedule to this letter.)
I would like nothing more than for Eldred to have 100% participation in the ELA and math assessments in grades 3-8. Please help us to reach this goal. Should you have any questions regarding the state assessments that your child’s teacher could not answer please contact your child’s principal or contact me directly. The state assessments do not begin until about March, however I wanted to share my thoughts with you now so that you have ample time to pose questions that you may have regarding the assessments.
I thank you for your continued support of our outstanding school district.

Code of Conduct

Report An Incident

​As you are likely aware, the Eldred school district has formed a Task Force to explore our efforts to combat bullying and to make recommendations to the Board of Education for improvement if needed.

One recommendation from the Task Force was to add a “Bully Button” to the Web page for anyone to report incidents of bullying. It is imperative that this report process be used appropriately so we can address the needs of our students. Please include your name on the form so that our investigation can be as complete as possible. I want to thank our District Task Force for their efforts in this critical area.

Every student should look forward to coming to school and see school as a safe place.

Dr. Morgano's Message - Comptroller Report

Dear Parents/ Guardians, 

The following report was just released by the Comptrollers Office. As you can see in my letter of response to the Comptroller, we agreed with their findings and have taken pro active measures to take corrective actions. 

My mission in Eldred, is to ensure that we are fiscally stable within 3 to 4 years. The first major step in this endeavor was to make some painful cuts in faculty and staff. Other measures must occur going forward. These will be discussed by the Board of Education at future Board of Education meetings. 

I want to thank Caleb Russell, our Treasurer, for his diligent work in bringing us toward our goal of fiscal stability. 

I also want to thank the Board of Education for supporting decisions that are not easy but necessary in order to save our school district.
