March 24 updates: Educational materials

The Sidney Central School District will distribute educational materials for grades 1, 2, and 4-12 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. on Wednesday, March 25.

One of the district’s goals is to move toward educational material being accessible online. To accomplish this goal, students in fifth or sixth grade who need a device will receive a Chromebook during the pickup on March 25. If your household already has a device, then you do not need to pick one up.

Pickups will be at the junior/senior high school. If you have any questions, please call 607-561-7703.
