                      Learning and growing this summer

                      Harry Hoag School is buzzing with activity during Summer Math and Literacy Camp, which offers grades K-5 learners lots of opportunities to learn and grow while reinforcing and building upon skills gained during the school year.

                      Campers engage in literacy and math activities that deepen their understanding of core grade-level concepts. Science, math, English, technology and more come to life through educational – and fun – days at camp. Social skills grow, friendships are formed, and learning earns a top spot during school vacation.

                      The free camp meets mornings in July and August, with meals provided, and many students also sign up to spend the afternoon in the Fort Plain Summer Recreation Program, also located at Harry Hoag School. There’s a lot to do at our school!

                      June 26, 2023

                      Dear Members of the Fort Plain School Community,

                      What a great year it has been! We couldn’t do what we do without the hard work of everyone in our school community. We are grateful for your partnership. In that spirit, I am writing to ask for your help.

                      We are very excited to be looking forward to the future while building upon our tradition of excellence. Fort Plain Central School District remains committed to our mission to provide each student with the opportunity to develop intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically in a safe, orderly and positive environment.

                      We want to provide each and every student with access to quality instruction using relevant technology, and opportunities that support personal growth. Every student should feel supported and able to succeed.

                      We are beginning a strategic planning process that forces us to review what is working, what we’d like to improve, and how everyone in our school community feels about the work being done. We need your input so that we can make the best plans for the future of our district. Your thoughts as a member of the school community are central to the development of our strategic plan.

                      Please visit the following link to share your thoughts in a short, anonymous, interactive survey, known as a ThoughtExchange: https://tejoin.com/scroll/269426448

                      A ThoughtExchange allows you to contribute your thoughts, view what other school community members are thinking and rate other’s feedback. Once you complete this anonymous ThoughtExchange, we encourage you to check back often to keep the conversation going. We also ask that you refrain from naming specific individuals. The exchange will be open until the end of June.

                      Results will be shared with district leadership and our Board of Education as we work together on our strategic plan. As always, we will keep you informed of our progress.

                      Thank you in advance for your participation. Have a wonderful summer!

                      Sincerely,
                      Lauren Crisman
                      Superintendent of Schools

                      Students’ hard work revives HS garden and greenhouse

                      students working hard to clean up the community gardenThanks to the hard work of students in the Internship program and School Store, the FPHS greenhouse was put back into action and the community garden space is once again clean, green and productive.

                      “The community garden had been resting for several years and needed a lift,” said business teacher Wendy Stokna. “The students worked to clean the space and decided to donate proceeds from store activities to install a fresh weed barrier, a cedar raised bed and compost bin.

                      “These students hope that future students can get their hands a little dirty, learn about teamwork and gain the endless skill and knowledge that come from involvement in the management of the community garden.

                      “The special project also involved planting, growing and labeling plants and hosting a small plant sale,” she added. “The students worked very hard on all aspects of the garden project, pushing its completion to beyond the end of the school year. Thank you to all in our school community for your support.”
