Margaretville Central School -

Read from a student's perspective what makes our school so special! Last month marked the anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or IDEA. Superintendent Osterhoudt sat down with student Max Pascarella to discuss the impact IDEA has had on his learning experience. 📖 Read the co authored article below! https://www.aasa.org/resources/aasa-blog/belonging-by-design-a-conversation-with-max-on-the-promise-of-idea

Our monthly Morning Program, hosted by Kindergarten teacher Ms. Roberts and our dedicated PK-2 Teachers, is one of the many things that makes MCS so special for families of our youngest students. It's so nice to gather each month to celebrate students' achievements, birthdays, and presentations, and to have time for parents to connect with students and staff in such a positive way. Thank you teachers for providing this opportunity and helping our students gain confidence in presenting, sharing our successes with families, and creating the chance for families to feel connected at school each month.

Attention CROP families: If you have any questions, please reach out to Stephanie Torres @ storres@margaretvillecs.org
