Dear Schodack Families,
It is so great to see our students back this year. We would also like to welcome several new families to the district. We are happy to have you as a part of our Schodack family and community and look forward to getting to know all of you.
The Schodack Central School District is very fortunate to have such a generous community that truly cares about our school and its students. As a result of the generosity we receive every year, our school can support families in need, so we wanted to make families aware of two programs we offer. Please know that these programs are confidential.
- Food Backpack Program – Our school has been selected as a site for the Backpack child nutrition program by the Regional Food Bank. This allows any students and their families with food insecurities to take a backpack full of food home with them on the weekends and over school breaks. Backpacks will begin being sent home the week of October 7th and continue through late spring.
- Holiday Giving Program – The holidays can put a financial strain on families. This program allows school families to supplement their gift-giving to their children. Wish lists are made (typically 2-3 items) and faculty/staff/community members donate these wish list items. You also have an opportunity to request a free turkey for Thanksgiving. This program will begin in mid-November.
If you are interested in having your child(ren) participate in one or both of these programs, please contact either of us, the School Social Workers. Our contact information is listed below. We look forward to working with you.
