Dear Parents/Guardians:
As part of the 2019-2024 School Climate grant award of $2.8 million dollars through the US Department of Education, we are required to regularly conduct a survey about school climate. We initially conducted this survey in February of 2020, and it is time to conduct the survey again, as many events affecting school climate have transpired since that time. The survey will be administered to students in grades 5-12 during regular school hours during the weeks of October 3-21. It will ask students about their perceptions on topics such as student engagement, school environment, and school safety. No questions about your child’s personal habits or behaviors will be asked, and students will not be identified in any way. Each student is assigned a randomly generated unique code and that will serve as their login ID. The answers your child provides will be used by the district to better understand the current climate in the Middle and High Schools, and decisions about the use of grant funds and the best types of programs to offer students will be made based in part on the answers collected in the survey. Faculty and staff of the district will also be completing a similar survey, and survey results will be posted on the district website. As mentioned, the survey is completely anonymous and completely voluntary, although the more responses we receive the more accurate our data will be and the better our program decisions will be. Your child’s answers will be combined with the answers of other students at their school, and these reports will not identify any person or their responses. If you do not want your child to participate in this survey, please send an email to commsurvey@atticacsd.org or call me at 591-0400 ext. 3001. If I receive a message by the close of school on Friday, Sept. 30 stating that you do not want your child to participate, your child will not participate in the survey and will be asked to engage in an unrelated activity during the time that students in his or her class are taking the survey. In your message, please include the following information: Your name, the name of your student(s), and their current grade level. If no message is received, we will administer the survey to your child(ren). If you have any questions about this survey please contact me at 591-0400 ext. 3001. The survey can also be seen online at https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/edscls/pdf/EDSCLS_Student_Questionnaire_English.pdf

Dear Attica CSD Families, The kids had a great day. Buses left the HS/MS about 10 minutes behind schedule as we ensured all children loaded onto the correct bus. Have a great night.
The New York State Department of Transportation has informed us that they will be micro-surfacing the entire Village of Attica beginning August 29th, 2022 through approximately September 9th, 2022.
They plan to start at the HS/MS complex in hopes of not interfering with our operation with the start of school quickly approaching. This project is a flag operation and could impact traffic patterns around our school community. Thank you for your patience during this time.
Dear Attica Families, Faculty and Staff,
As the first day of school for students on September 7, 2022, quickly approaches, we are mindful of the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff.

Below are some of the informational items that were provided within the guidance. Also, below are informational links to those supporting documents for your reference. The Board of Education, leadership team, and our entire staff remain committed to ensuring that our schools are safe places where every student and staff member can experience an environment to learn, grow, and flourish. I am looking forward to the start of the academic year and partnering with all of you as we begin the 2022-2023 school year. Have a great rest of your summer.
