Dear Students and Families,
I hope this message finds you enjoying the final weeks of summer. We are eagerly looking forward to welcoming our students back for the first day of school on Wednesday, September 3, 2025. Our district has been hard at work over the summer months to ensure that our schools are ready to provide engaging and supportive learning environments for all of our students.
Our dedicated faculty, staff, and facilities teams have been preparing classrooms, refreshing common spaces, and making important facility upgrades. Teachers have participated in professional development opportunities to enhance instruction and deepen their expertise, while our curriculum teams have worked to refine lessons and learning activities that will challenge and inspire our students. We have also hosted summer learning programs and student activities to help keep our learners engaged, curious, and connected throughout the summer.
To help our students start the year with confidence, we encourage families to take part in our upcoming orientation and welcome events in each of our buildings:
Elementary School Welcome Back Night – Wednesday, August 27, 2025 at 5:00 PM
Middle School 5th Grade Orientation – Monday, August 25, 2025 at 11:00 AM
High School Freshmen Orientation – Thursday, August 28, 2025 at 10:00 AM
These events are a great opportunity to meet teachers, tour the building, and learn more about the year ahead especially for our students who are transitioning from one building to another in our district.
As we welcome everyone back for what promises to be another exciting and successful school year, I’d like to take a moment to share an important update regarding student transportation. Beginning with the 2025–26 school year, all student transportation services will be provided by Student Transportation of America, Inc. (STA). STA is no stranger to us—they have been a trusted partner in supporting our transportation needs for well over a decade and have consistently provided reliable, high-quality service to our students and families. With that strong foundation, we are confident that this full transition will be a smooth one.
As Attica Bus Service, Inc. steps away from student transportation, we extend our sincere appreciation to the company for their many years of dedicated service to our district.
As we navigate this change, we thank you in advance for your continued patience and support. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Meaghan Matuszak, Assistant Superintendent of Business and Operations, at mmatuszak@atticacsd.org or 585-591-0400 x1002.
We are excited for the year ahead and can’t wait to see our students on September 3, ready for another year of learning, growth, and success.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kiel Illg
Superintendent of Schools
Attica Central School District
