Dear MED Parents/Guardians,
The unexpected Thanksgiving snowfall is a reminder that the colder weather is here to stay for a while. Today we had a large number of students who returned to school unprepared to go outside. This is a reminder that your child will be going outside everyday for recess as well as other times during the day unless it is raining or the temperature falls below 20 degrees with the wind chill. This year it is even more important that our students have outdoor time to allow them remove their masks. Therefore, please be sure to send in the necessary outdoor clothing, boots, snowpants, gloves, etc. so they can enjoy this much needed outdoor time. The teacher can not keep a child inside. Also, it is important that you put your child's name or initials inside each item of clothing that you send in.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
Kristen Reno, Principal
Mary E. Dardess Elementary School
All Chatham CSD buildings and offices will be closed on Thanksgiving Thursday, November 25 and Black Friday, November 26, 2021. Enjoy a safe and happy holiday!
It's that time of year again - when snow, slush and ice can impact the school day. Check out our Protocols for Weather Closings & Delays for a quick overview of how our school responds to inclement winter weather at: https://www.chathamcentralschools.com/page/protocols-for-weather-closings-delays
In an effort to improve safety and assist emergency services in responding to the correct building, Chatham Central School District has created different 911 addresses for each of our school buildings. Mary E. Dardess Elementary School remains 50 Woodbridge Ave. while Chatham High School is now 54 Woodbridge Ave., Chatham Middle school is 21 Woodbridge Ave., and the Bus Garage is 21 Library Place, all in Chatham.
Please be sure to make note of these addresses. We will also be posting signage with this information in highly visible areas in and around our buildings. These addresses are for 911 purposes only, such as reporting the location of an emergency. Our business (mailing) address remains the same at 50 Woodbridge Ave., Chatham, NY 12037 for all four buildings.
