September 11, 2023 Dear Bus #1 Parent (Jeff Cady’s Bus), As you may know, we struggle to find substitute bus drivers. Mr. Cady will be out of town on the afternoon of Thursday, September 14th and all-day Friday, September 15th. Unfortunately, we are going to have to ask you to make arrangements to pick up your child and drop them off. I apologize for the inconvenience and understand that you might have to drop your child off earlier than the school doors opening at 7:55. If you need to bring your child earlier, please let me know and I will make sure we have staff available. Thank you for your understanding. Again, please contact me at 439-5588 or bvalima@superiorcentralschools.org if you have any questions or need to bring your child to school early. Sincerely, Bill Valima Superintendent/6-12 Principal Superior Central School

Good Afternoon Cougars! Parents of girls entering 6th-8th Grade, there will be an informational basketball meeting on Tuesday, August 15th at 6:00 in the Library. Unfortunately, we do not have enough participants to field a middle school football team this fall. Coach Trader still plans on working with middle school students to prepare them for high school. We hope to have the numbers for a middle school team next fall.

Good Morning Cougars! Fall sports are quickly approaching! High school sports begin on Monday, August 7th. Student athletes need to have a current physical on file at the school to participate in practice. Student athletes must also attend practice within the 1st three practices to be on the roster.

Good Afternoon, As you know, this year we had 7 "snow days" and 2 "sick days" for a total of 9 days out of school. The state will allow for 6 days and may grant an additional 3 if certain criteria is met. As a district, we used the October 7th MARESA wide Professional Development day as an "instructional day". Because of this, the state has only granted us 2 days of forgiveness. This means that students will have to attend school on Monday, June 5th. It will be an 11:48 dismissal for students with teacher professional development from 12:30-3:30. We will keep the exam schedule as it currently is. 7th hour on Wednesday, May 31st. 1st-3rd hours on Thursday, June 1st, and 4th-6th on Friday, June 2nd. Sorry, Bill Valima

The Class of 2023 Parent meeting scheduled for tonight has been postponed. We'll try again next Tuesday night at 6:00 in the Library. Thanks, Bill Valima
