Dear MED families,
I wanted you to be aware that at approximately 1:30 p.m. today the fire alarm went off unexpectedly at the Elementary School. It was determined to be a false alarm and there was never any danger. We evacuated the building as we would for any fire drill, and due to the cold, we relocated students next door to the High School so they would stay warm while the fire department responded and gave us the all clear to return to the building. Our students were back in the building by approximately 1:50 p.m.
I’m very proud of our students and staff for how they conducted themselves during this brief but unexpected interruption.
Sincerely,
Kristen Reno,
MED Principal

Dear Chatham families,
Chatham CSD is providing a transportation option for any walkers who will be affected by the closure of the Woodbridge Avenue railroad crossing. We will be providing a bus to transport students from the Chatham Firehouse to school and back on Thursday, November 17, Friday, November 18, and Monday, November 21.
Morning:
Students should arrive at the Chatham Firehouse parking lot on Hoffman St. no later than 7:15 a.m. to catch the bus to school. The bus will stop at CMS and then MED/CHS to let students off.
Afternoon:
The bus will pick up students from each school at dismissal and will drop them off at the Chatham Firehouse parking lot.
We are providing this temporary shuttle to ensure our walkers have a safe way to get to and from school during the railroad crossing closure. Taking this bus is optional and no registration is necessary.
If you have questions, please contact our supervisor of transportation services, Joshua Loeffler, at 518-392-1520 or loefflerj@chatham.k12.ny.us.
The railroad crossing on Woodbridge Ave. will be closed to traffic and pedestrians November 17-21, 2022 while CSX conducts work on the tracks. This will affect traffic patterns in the area as vehicles will not be able to access our schools from the Route 203 end of Woodbridge Ave. Please take this into consideration if driving or walking to our campus and allow yourself ample time to take an alternate route.
The MED PTA Trunk or Treat is this Saturday, October 29, 5-7pm in the MED parking lot!
Participants: While the event is free, the PTA is asking for a $5 per family suggested donation. Children must be supervised at all times. We want to make sure there are enough goodies for everyone. As such, please help your children to be responsible and neighborly by only “trick or treating” one time at each vehicle.
Candy Donations:
The PTA is seeking donations of candy or similar Halloween themed items (pencils etc.) for Trunk or Treat. Each child who donates will receive $5 in Scholastic bucks to use at the November book fair. Please label any donations with your child’s name and classroom teacher so that the PTA can ensure they receive their Scholastic bucks. Donations are requested by 10/27.
Vehicles:
If you are interested in decorating a vehicle, please sign up by 10/25 by contacting the PTA via email (chathammedpta@gmail.com) or through the PTA Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Chatham-MED-PTA-742497605832071 . Please plan to arrive early so that you are set up by the start time of 5pm. Thank you!
