Mrs. Heiser's 2nd graders are making the most of the technology in their classroom! Between booksnaps, research with library databases, biographies and more, these awesome students (and their teacher) take innovation and creativity to the next level! (Click on the image above for video).
Mrs. Marlenga's Students Become Authors!
Mrs. Marlenga's 2nd graders have been busy learning about ancient civilizations. As a culminating activity they wrote books about what they've learned! Using the iPads and the Book Creator app, the students wrote fun facts, searched for images, drew their own illustrations, and even included an "About the Author" page.
Pictured is Mrs. Marlenga and Nate, who taught the students how to use the Apple TV to mirror their devices and share their stories with the class.
Great job boys and girls!

Note Re: Bus Incident 9/13/17
This is to advise parents and the public that there was a minor mechanical problem on a Holland Patent school bus this morning. The problem occurred when students were riding to morning classes at Oneida BOCES. As a result of the problem, students on the bus were exposed to some fumes. When they arrived at BOCES, a school nurse checked students out and found no issues. However, when the students returned to the District from BOCES, some students reported feeling sick. Accordingly, the District called in paramedics to check all of these students out. Most of the students again reported no problems and were cleared to return to regular classes at the District. 11 students reported feeling sick, and were transported to various local health facilities for further examination and possible treatment. The District has called the parent(s) or guardian(s) of all affected students to notify them of these developments. It is not believe that this incident has resulted in any serious health problems, but we believe it is always best to be cautious with possible student health concerns.
Though we’re but a country high school, Our name unknown to fame To our colors we are loyal, Our heritage we claim;
We defend the gold and purple, Wherever we may be, Our hearts forever faithful To the old school in H.P.
The purple hue is royal, The gold is pure and fine, And both are king’s apparel Ordained by word divine,
Therefore, royal are our colors, To them we true must be, To show we love and honor The old school in H.P.
