Home-School
Cooperation
Within the limitations of our
resources, it is our goal to provide Middle School
students with the best possible education. The
school needs the interest and participation of
parents and community members to achieve this
goal.
Several dates are listed on the
school calendar for parent-teacher conferences as
well as special events at school. We hope you will
take advantage of these opportunities so we can
share our ideas and concerns.
Counseling
Many services are offered to
students and parents through the Middle School
Guidance Office. Individual counseling, group
counseling, classroom presentations, orientation
programs, parent conferences, homework management
systems, study skills handbooks, and outside
referrals are some of the services provided. The
guidance office maintains an open door policy
making the counselor readily available to students,
parents, and teachers. Your child is very
important. If you are concerned, we want to help.
Mrs. Glasgow is the Middle School Counselor and may
be reached at (315) 655-5315.
School
Newsletter
The Middle School
Messenger, a building level newsletter, is
sent out each month with our students.
Report
Card
Grades
Student performance in all
subjects in the Middle School is graded by a letter
grade A thru F, with the exceptions of physical
education, which is graded "S" for Satisfactory or
"U" for unsatisfactory.
School
Agenda
Each student will receive a
Middle School Agenda. The first pages serve as the
Student/Parent Handbook. The remainder of the
agenda provides students with a homework assignment
sheet with spaces for parent-teacher communication.
Each student will be required to bring his/her
agenda to each class everyday. Parents should use
this as a tool to assist students with maintaining
academic progress.
Parent-Teacher
Conferences
Conferences at the Middle School
are held on an "as needed" basis. If your child's
teachers do not contact you for a conference, and
you have a particular concern, please call the
Middle School Guidance Office during school hours.
In addition to our four half days, conferences are
scheduled during and after school hours throughout
the year. Parent conference days are scheduled for
the following dates:
October 19, 2007
December 14, 2007
March 14, 2008
May 16, 2008
Extra
Help for
Students
Classroom teachers are available
to provide extra help as needed for any student.
Below is a schedule indicating when teachers are
available. Occasionally these days and times will
need to be changed because of other after school
commitments. If there is a change, teachers will
notify the students of these changes in advance. If
a student is planning on staying after school for
extra help, the student should be sure that a
parent is aware of these plans so that the student
is not missed when he or she does not arrive home
at the usual time. Parents may also directly
contact teachers to request that their child
receive extra help.

Students With Special
Needs
Cazenovia Central School
provides programs and services for students who
have special needs. Usually these needs are related
to learning basic skill areas, (e.g. reading,
mathematics, writing).
Each building has teachers who
are trained to help these students and to assist
the students' other teachers. In addition, the
district employs specialists (a school
psychologist, speech/language therapist, and
occupational therapist) who provide other services
to help students with learning-related problems.
The overall objective is to help each student to
utilize his or her potential ability to learn to
the maximum extent possible.
Parents wishing more information
concerning special services or the Committee on
Special Education should contact the principal of
the building their child attends.
