Corn Hole Tournament Fundraiser on May 7 from 11am-3pm at ECS, rain or shine. There will be two categories of teams – a social category ($20/team) and a competitive category ($40/team). Contact sknight@edmeston.net for more information.
ECS will be on a 2-hour delay today, April 20.
Afternoon Update:
We have been in contact with NYSEG and Otsego Electric. We do not have a time table for the return of power to the area. The highway departments reported that the roads have been cleared of snow and trees. There are several roads with downed power lines them. We know that the wind is supposed to pick up later today and this evening.
For tomorrow, April 20, we will make a decision regarding the opening of school in the morning. If we are able to transport students to school, ECS will be open and students will report to school. The school’s generator is working which would allow us to have students in school for the day. If there is a delay or if school is closed tomorrow, ECS will send out notifications via email, Facebook, the website, and the Edmeston App just as we did this morning.
Our hope is for students to be in school on April 20th. However, this is dependent on our buses being able to pick up students.
Stay safe, everyone!!
❄️ ECS will be closed today, April 19, due to the weather. We are working on getting a text/robocall out to parents as soon as possible!!
