Citizen Advocates offers counseling at Massena school

MASSENA — J.W.

Mr. Brady said services will begin the week of Feb. 22, on Tuesdays from 8 to 10 a.m. at the high school and 10 a.m. to noon and at the junior high, and Wednesdays from 8 to 10 a.m. at the junior high and 10 a.m. to noon at the high school.

Massena Central School District exploring use of junior high as official food pantry

MASSENA — The paperwork is set to go and waiting for approval to make J.W. Leary Junior High School an official food pantry. “I think we have a great plan, and pending board (of education) approval, our application is ready to go. (Principal Amanda Zullo) and her team at the junior high and I have really been having a great time at brainstorming this,” Community Schools Director Kristin Colarusso-Martin said. She said some high school students were coming to school hungry, but there was no after-school snack program available. “We can’t have the after-school snack program this year because we can’t have after-school programming thanks to COVID,” Ms. Colarusso-Martin said.

Massena Central superintendent details scaled down strategic plan priorities

MASSENA — The Massena Central School District’s “Priorities and Strategies” for 2020 to 2023 are a little smaller than in the past, thanks to COVID-19. A district committee of about 30 stakeholders, including parents, students, staff and administrators have met each year since 2016 to look at the district’s strategic plan and the metrics used for evaluation and make changes to it. Meanwhile, district-level committees also meet with Prism Systems, the consultant used for drawing up the plan. “Students are our first priority, and our decisions are made in regard to what’s in the best interest of students. We have metrics such as graduation rates, state test scores, chronic absenteeism and several others,” Superintendent Patrick Brady said.
