Private School Transportation

Parents of students who will be attending private or parochial school during the 2010-2011

school year are reminded that the Cambridge Central School Board of Education, prior to the April 1, 2010 deadline, must receive requests for transportation to private or parochial schools. Requests should be directed in writing to: Mr. Vincent Canini, Superintendent of Schools, 58 South Park St., Cambridge, NY 12816 and must be made annually.

Notice to everyone who drops students off at C.C.S.

 The Board of Education and Administration of the Cambridge Central School are hereby notifying all residents of our district that a major concern exists around those areas identified as student drop-off and pick-up points on or near the school campus.  As safety of our students is our number one concern, the school district has worked hand-in-hand with the Cambridge Police Department to identify proper drop-off and pick-up procedures.  The following guidelines will now be employed:

       1.      Students dropped off in the morning in the newly painted designated areas in front of the science wing for 7-12 and the newly painted designated areas in front of the gymnasium for K-6.  Do not let your child off if your car is not in one of these areas.  Please be respectful and allow every other car to proceed so that no one has to wait beyond a reasonable period of time.

       2.      Parents should not drop their children off directly from State Route 22.  The White Creek Town office Building parking lot may be used for morning student drop-off.  Students will be escorted across Route 22 by our school crossing guard.

 With the help of the Police Department, the enforcement of the traffic rules on our campus will be more noticeable.  The public's assistance is appreciated in helping make our campus a safer place for our students and staff.  Should anyone have any questions regarding this very important matter or have suggestions on how to improve the traffic flow, feel free to call Mr.Vince Canini Superintendent, at 677-2653 ext. 1014, Ms.Colleen Lester, Elementary Principal, at 677-8527 ext. 1433, or Mr. Christopher Signor, High School Principal at 677-8527 ext. 1411.
