Reopening Plan
In the wake of districts being closed this spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic, school district's across New York State were required to create a plan for reopening in September. Guidance was provided by the New York Department of Health and the New York State Education Department. A committee of shareholders from our district and community worked together to translate those hundreds of pages of guidance into a plan that best serves the health and safety of our students while providing the best educational opportunities possible under these difficult circumstances.

Bus Transportation for the 2020-2021 School YearMCSD Parents/Guardians:
In accordance with the New York State Department of Health and New York State Education Department COVID-19 health guidelines, our transportation system will be adopting new policies for best health practices. 1) Masks (or appropriate/approved face coverings) must be worn to board the bus and remain on for the duration of the bus ride. 2) Students may have ONE approved bus stop ONLY to and from school. 3) Assigned seating will be MANDATORY. 4) The district's walking policy will be enforced. (See the Transportation page for walking maps.) Capacity on buses will be decreased to keep our students and community healthy. To aid the district in its planning process, the MCSD Transportation Department is requesting that parents complete the following form by August 8, 2020 for EACH STUDENT attending school in the district. Student Transportation Request Form Remote & Hybrid Learning Resource WebsiteBefore March, none of us had any experience with educating students during a pandemic. Much of this is brand new to all of us, and as such, we all need help. In an attempt to provide that help to parents, students, and teachers, we have put together the MCSD Remote & Hybrid Learning website. It continues to grow and change as the situation changes and new tools become available.
So if you or your student need help using the technology involved in assignments, are looking for guidance on what technology tools are available, need to request a site be unblocked, or report a problem with a Chromebook, please check out the site.

Community WiFi AccessIn an effort to help students who may not have internet access at home, the following arrangements have been made to provide spots throughout the community. Please note that these hot spots are set up to automatically connect to school-owned devices; personal devices will not connect to them.
The aim is to provide access while still allowing for social distancing, so you do not need to leave your vehicle to use them. In the case of the fire departments, please be sure that you are not blocking the doors of the fire house.
A special thanks to those fire departments and Craig LaVigne of Wireless Internet Now for making these access points possible. If you do not currently have internet service, Spectrum has announced that they will be providing free service during closures for households with affected students where such service is possible. For more information, call 1-844-488-8395. Additionally, SLIC has announced that they will be providing help for students without internet access at home. For more information, check out their COVID-19 page. Franklin Academy Class of 2020 Graduation CeremonyDue to the unfortunate realities of life during the COVID-19 pandemic, we were not able to hold our traditional graduation ceremony this year. That does not diminish how proud we are of our students and their accomplishments. Please join us in congratulating them by clicking one of the links below to watch the virtual ceremony we were able to do, as well as the senior slideshow. Both graduation ceremony links go to the same video in two different spots, in case you run into technical issues with one of them.
