Weekly Boost Feb. 4 – a message to families from Superintendent Corr

Friday, February 4, 2022

Dear North Colonie Families:

Good afternoon. Well, if your children put spoons under their pillows and wore their PJs inside out…it worked! In all seriousness, this was a messy storm and keeping everyone safe is always our priority.

Visit the district’s Facebook page to see some of our North Colonie kids having fun during the snow day.

OUR SCHOOL NURSES

Earlier in the school year, I asked the community to please be kind to our nurses. It has come to my attention that there’s been an increase in negative behavior toward our nurses – including yelling, hanging up during phone calls, and name calling. As a school community, we aim to treat others with kindness and respect. Our nurses work hard to assist students and families and this type of behavior toward them is simply unacceptable. I ask that you have patience when speaking with them and listen to what they have to say. Families are always welcome to contact me at superintendent@ncolonie.org.
