Good afternoon Warriors! Please be reminded that MECS schools are in session all week including Friday, May 27th. Each year, school districts across New York State are required to implement an "Emergency Go Home Early Drill." In order to be in compliance, MECS school buildings will be dismissing 15 minutes early this Friday, May 27th. This means that students will be arriving home 15 minutes earlier than normal on that day. Additionally, on Friday (5/27), there will be no BOCES-sponsored classes held on the Vernon-Verona-Sherill campus. The BOCES main campus will be operating on a half-day schedule. This means there will be no afternoon BOCES main campus classes on this day.

The bonfire that was scheduled for tonight, May 19th, at the Middle/High School has been cancelled due to the forecast and extenuating circumstances. Looking into a future bonfire - more information to come.
