Our Instant Alerting System is going through a change. The switch was required because the previous company ended their services to schools. We are working with the new company to implement text messaging but for now we do not have that feature. While we wait for that feature to be turned on, please be aware that all Instant Alerts will be sent as a voice call only. In the coming days, watch for an opt-in message or you can choose to opt in now by texting Y to 67587. This will not turn text messaging on for you quite yet, but will ensure you are ready when it does.
Elementary Girls Basketball practice will not be starting tomorrow, 8/22. The start date has been postponed to Monday, August 26th. Thanks

Dear Cooperstown Merchants,
I hope this message finds you well. As we plan for the upcoming 2024-25 school year, we are reaching out to request your continued support and participation in our work-based learning program. Your partnership has been invaluable in providing our students with real-world experience and skills that complement their academic learning.
We would be grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with your business once again, offering our students the chance to learn and grow under your guidance. Thank you for considering this request and for your ongoing commitment to the development of our students.
For businesses who hosted a Cooperative Work Experience in the past, students will be reaching out during the first week of school to request placements. If you are a business new to our Cooperative Work Experience program and are interested in hosting a student during the upcoming school year, please contact Jay Grover at Griggs County Central School to discuss opportunities! We plan to have all students enrolled in our CWE classes placed with an area business by August 26th.
