Science meets history in our Living Environment class!
Our budding biologists are collecting data and making daily observations at the start of the second week of their 28-day lab. They are recreating the "Seed Lab" originally performed by legendary Biologist Charles Darwin upon his return to England after his famed expedition from the Galapagos Islands, which led to the proposed theory of "Natural Selection."

Fort Ann Homecoming is next week and we are celebrating with SPIRIT WEEK! The fun starts Monday! Go Cards!


As you may be aware, today there have been a series of threats happening to schools in the Capital Region, as well as across New York State. The threats that have occurred appear to be recycled or similar to those occurring around the state.
The Fort Ann Central School District has not been a target of such a threat; however, we are prepared for the potential of that occurring and are continuing to monitor the situation. The District takes any threat very seriously and will follow all of our emergency protocols to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
Those who believe these threats to be a prank should understand that they have serious repercussions in terms of criminal charges.

School picture day is Thursday October 24! Please use the QR codes to pre-order for both elementary and jr/sr high.




Get ready to put those dancing shoes on!

On Tuesday, September 24th, Fort Ann will be hosting the College Caravan, an event for juniors and seniors to meet with representatives from approximately twenty-five colleges.
Representatives will be available to visit with students beginning at approximately 9:15 in the cafeteria. Teachers with juniors and/or seniors during that time are welcome to bring their classes. Students in courses that are not attending as a class are still able to attend via an individual sign-up in the Guidance Office.
Thank you to Mrs. Spooner for once again bringing the College Caravan to Fort Ann!
