Common Core Standards Toolkit for Parents and Families
From Engage NY: A critical component of a student’s success in school is dependent on what and how they learn at home. The Toolkit for Parents and Families is a collection of materials and resources that will help parents and families understand the New York State education reform initiatives and how the changes will help your child graduate from high school ready for college and careers. We encourage parents and families to use these tools in conjunction with resources and information you receive from your child’s school and teachers. We will continue to build upon this toolkit as we receive feedback from educators and families.

The Kendall Board of Education and I are asking for your support in advocating with our legislators on behalf of our schools. Our representatives need to hear from you! We understand the economic challenges facing New Yorkers and we are not asking for more money, but we are asking for mandate relief from onerous regulations and requirements that limit flexibility in providing a quality educational program. Working together we can achieve much more; our students deserve this!
As always, please contact me with any suggestions or questions.
Sincerely,
Julie E. Christensen, Superintendent

No Tobacco Use at KCS

Please remember that smoking and chewing tobacco products are no longer allowed by any person in any place in KCS school buildings or on school grounds or in any vehicle on school property. This no tobacco use policy is in response to changes in state and federal laws. The district appreciates everyone's cooperation in keeping KCS completely tobacco free.

Non-Discrimination Policy

The Kendall Central School District, in accordance with Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, political affiliation, sex, age, marital or veteran status, or disability. The Board of Education recognizes its responsibility to provide an environment free from harassment and intimidation in the educational programs and activities it operates.

We do not permit discrimination by employees, school volunteers, students and non-employees, such as contractors and vendors, as well as any third parties participating in, observing or otherwise engaged in activities subject to the supervision of the District. This includes recruitment and employment practices, pay and benefits, counseling services for students, and student accessed educational programs, courses and activities. The Board also prohibits harassment based upon an individual's opposition to the discrimination or participation in a related investigation or complaint proceeding under the anti-discrimination, or participation in a related investigation or complaint proceeding under the anti-discrimination statutes.

This policy on non-discrimination and antiharassment will be enforced on School District premises, in school buildings and at all school sponsored events, programs and activities, including those that take place off school premises. Inquiries or complaints should be forwarded to the Superintendent of Schools.
