New Hartford Central School District Foundation
                                      Since 1993, the New Hartford Central School District Foundation
                                      has supported educational programming throughout the District. An
                                      independent, non-profit 501(c)3 organization, the Foundation raises
                                      funds through contributions by local businesses, organizations,
                                      individual donors, and by hosting its signature event: The Prince
                                      Charming Ball!

In 2018, the Prince Charming Ball (a mother-son dance) raised nearly $25,000 with
part of the proceeds benefiting the New Hartford Central School Communication Club.
With Foundation support, the club purchased new audio-visual equipment to enhance
its busy broadcast schedule on NHCR radio, the school’s official internet radio station.
The 10th annual event is re-scheduled for April 30, 2022, at the Yahnundasis Golf Club.

Since its inception, the Foundation has raised funding to support the purchase of the high-definition LED
scoreboard at Don Edick Stadium, a grand piano for the James A. Meyer Performing Arts Center, and iPads     Above: Fatima Fada, Created in Kindergarten

PARP
Parents As Reading Partners (PARP) is designed to encourage reading. Our elementary schools plan many activities to motivate stu-
dents and promote a love of reading that will last a lifetime. Our goal is 100 percent participation. We urge parents to spend 15 minutes
each day reading to your children, having them read to you, or reading together. It will be time well spent!

OHM BOCES School Meal Program
                             New Hartford Central School District’s meal program is operated in each building by the Oneida-Herkimer-
                             Madison BOCES School Food Service Program. OHM BOCES strives to provide students with tasty,
                             nutritious, fresh, foods that appeal to students and the school community. We have continually exceeded
                             federal and state guidelines for all required nutrients and increased our offerings of fresh fruit and vegetables.
                             Farm to School items and programming are improving our students’ connections to fresh food and resources.

                             The menu balances student preference, commodity foods, and locally sourced foods that are fresh, fun,
                             and encourage students to explore new flavors and new preparations.

                             Each student has their own meal account with an assigned pin number. Please be sure to help your children
                                                                                                                                                    Gabe Cull, Created in Grade 11
                             learn their numbers, especially if they are new buyers. You can also use this account to make payments;
                             checks made out to OHM BOCES Food Service, or online prepayments using www.myschoolbucks.com
                             are preferable, though cash in a labeled envelope is also an option.

                             Lunch during the 2021-2022 school year is free. Milk will remain at $0.60 per half pint. All students can eat
                             complete meals at no charge regardless of income. A la carte items such as frozen yogurt, baked chips,

                             and whole grain cookies will be available for purchase most days in the school cafeterias. There is no
                             charging of a la carte items; meaning students must have a positive account balance in order to purchase.

MySchoolBucks.com is an excellent way to monitor your childrens’ meal and a la carte purchases. These accounts are free to set up
and use; you can even set up email reminders for when a balance gets low! If you choose to use them for prepayment, a small fee is
incurred with each transaction. Negative balance letters will be sent home regularly for those students who owe money on their accounts.           Claire Gerardo, Created in Grade 1

Student Services
New Hartford Central School’s Student Services Department includes psychological, social work, counseling, speech, occupational therapy, physical therapy and
language services that are available to students experiencing academic and/or school adjustment difficulties. They are not intended to replace community agency or
private practitioner services needed for clinical diagnosis and/or long-term counseling. Referrals to Student Services may be made through each building’s Instructional
Support Team or directly by the parent or guardian. A referral to CSE should be considered only after building level support have been implemented.

Social-emotional learning (SEL) is an integral part of education and development. The New Hartford Central School District offers counseling services in every building
to focus on developing SEL for students that need to improve attitudes, relationships and academic performance. Students who are recommended for counseling to
further develop SEL learn skills and strategies to manage emotions, establish and maintain appropriate relationships and make responsible decisions.

This year, the Student Services Office is fortunate to have an additional full-time school psychologist within the District to evaluate, observe and counsel students at every
level. In addition to our school psychologist, we also have school social workers in every building to address any social-emotional needs that students may experience.

Parents who are concerned about their child’s school progress are encouraged to contact the child’s teacher or principal. More information regarding the Instructional
Support Team and/or the Committee on Special Education can be obtained by calling the Director of Student Services, Pamela Smoulcey, at 315-738-9313.

Banana Splits
Banana Splits is a peer support group for children whose families are going through transition (separation, divorce, adoption, illness, or death of a family member).
Our program supports children through group meetings, which are organized by grade level. The groups meet during lunch and involve time for news and sharing,
as well as an activity or game. It is a wonderful program that can be found in schools nationwide, as well as around the world. New Hartford Central School District
has proudly offered Banana Splits for many years at the elementary level.

An annual celebration is held at the end of each school year with a picnic at the New Hartford Recreation Center, which is attended by students, parents and participating
teachers. The success of the program can be attributed to the enthusiastic support of families, faculty/staff, administration, PTAs and more than 200 student members.

New Teacher Induction Program
All teachers who are new to our district participate in the Induction Program for a period of two to three years. New teachers are paired with an experienced teacher
who serves as a mentor. In addition to the mentor, other members of the school community serve as support providers, working directly with new teachers in their
classrooms to apply effective instructional practices. This systematic training and support eases the transition into teaching, improves teacher effectiveness in the
classroom and promotes the district’s culture. All of this translates into the highest quality educational experience that we can provide for our students.
The program has the following goals:
   • To ensure the personal and professional well-being of beginning teachers.
   • To increase instructional effectiveness through sound classroom
       management.
   • To engender the process of self-reflection.
   • To promote continual professional growth.
   • To assist teachers in satisfying district and state requirements.
   • To transmit the culture of the system.                                           Dana Hans, Created in Studio Art

Medication and Physical Exams
When your child requires medication during
the school day, a written physician’s order
(including diagnosis), as well as written parent
permission is necessary. Medication must be in
the original labeled container. (Your pharmacist
can usually provide a second container for this
purpose.) Medications must be delivered by
an adult at the elementary level. This includes
prescription and over-the-counter medications. All
medical treatments necessary in school, including
crutches, require written medical authorization.
Please contact your school nurse for medication
administration forms (also available on the District
website under “Departments/Health Office”.)
Physical exams are mandated by New York state for all new students and for those entering
grades K,1,3,5,7,9 & 11. Physicals must be by a NYS Physician NP or PA. These can be offered
in school. In addition to this requirement, all students participating in school sports must have a          Above, Left: Wade Ruhnke, Created in Studio Art
yearly physical exam. Sports physicals are offered at all schools during the school year. These              Above: Gianni Trevisani, Created in Studio Art
dates are noted throughout the calendar, but are subject to change. Please contact your building
nurse to be sure. In addition to a physical exam, the student will need a pre-participation health history
and blue card completed and signed by the parent and dated within 30 days prior to each sports
season. These forms must be turned into the building nurse prior to trying out for sports. Physicals
may be done by your private physician or by our school nurse practitioner. Sports physical forms
are available from the school nurse or on the Website under Departments/Athletics/Athletic Forms.
The forms may be downloaded for your convenience. NYS requires BMI and WSC (body mass
index and weight status category) on mandated physicals. NYS also requests Dental Certificates
in mandated physical grades. All physical exam dates are subject to change.
The school nurse also completes mandated screenings as required by NYS guidelines, such as
vision, hearing and scoliosis. Please discuss this with your children to prepare them. As always,
please feel free to call the health offices with any questions or concerns.

                               Allergies and Your Child’s Safety
                               If your child has a known hypersensitivity or allergy to substances
                               such as food or insects, it is imperative that you alert your school
                               nurse before the first days of school. In severe reactions, children                                   Julian Brazier, Created in Studio Art
                               may develop hives, itching, and swelling, which can lead immediately
                               to difficulty in breathing. Prompt recognition and treatment could save your child’s life. Parents should bring the child’s prescribed
                               medication to the school nurse with a written order from your health care provider. The nurse will coordinate with parents to develop
                               an emergency care plan specifically for your child. Our goal is to provide safe and immediate treatment for your child should the need
