Attention student athletes: Sports physicals are Aug. 3-4
Any Fort Plain Central School student in grades 7-12 who is interested in having their sports physical completed at school for 2021-22 school year should report to the high school nurse’s office on Tuesday, Aug. 3, from 8-10 a.m. for the pre-physical screening. The student will need to return to the nurse’s office on Wednesday, Aug. 4, at 8:30 a.m. to see the doctor.
The district has received an inquiry about whether physical exams can be completed by a student’s personal doctor. Athletic Director Charlie Karker: “The answer is yes, however they also need the following:
1) An updated health history form
2) Urinalysis, height, weight, and vital signs on the form from their doctor
3)AND their own doctor’s physical exam will still need approval from the school doctor per NYS regulations, prior to practicing.
If they choose to have their physician do the physical, it would be best if they turn in their completed paperwork on Aug. 3 or Aug. 4 to Tara Hayes, Jr./Sr. High School nurse.”

American Rescue Plan (ARP)-ESSR funding plan
Fort Plain Central School District’s ARP-ESSER funding plan
Introduction
The 2021-22 enacted state budget includes language requiring local education agencies, such as school districts, that receive funding from the Federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund allocated by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP-ESSER) to post on its website a plan of how these funds will be spent.
New York has been allocated nearly $9 billion in ARP-ESSER funds, with a minimum of $8.09 billion (90 percent) going to local education agencies, including public schools. The Fort Plain school district received 4.2 million dollars.
A portion, $840,000 must be allocated to address learning loss through the implementation of evidenced based interventions such as summer learning and enrichment programs, extended school day and after school programs or extended school year programs. Such interventions will respond to the academic, social and emotional needs of students.
Districts are also required to prioritize spending on non-recurring expenses in the following areas:
- Safely returning students to in-person instruction;
Maximizing in-person instruction time; - Operating schools and meeting the needs of students;
- Purchasing educational technology;
- Addressing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on students, including the impacts of interrupted instruction and learning loss and the impacts on low-income students, children with disabilities, English language learners, and students experiencing homelessness;
- Implementing evidence-based strategies to meet students’ social, emotional, mental health, and academic needs;
- Offering evidence-based summer, afterschool, and other extended learning and enrichment programs; and
Supporting early childhood education.
Reflecting on the impact of COVID 19 on students and learning
The Fort Plain School District is committed to ensuring every student has the opportunity to develop intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically in a safe, orderly and positive environment. Our goal remains to prepare every student for success beyond graduation. For the purpose of developing this plan, stakeholder feedback was collected from parents and caregivers, faculty, department supervisors, technology leaders, athletics and administration.
Safely returning students to in-person instruction
Plan Summary: The health and safety of students, staff and their families remain the district’s top priorities for all in-person instruction and school-based activities.

- Provide personal protective equipment
Maximizing in-person instruction time
Plan Summary: To the extent possible, students will remain in small cohorts. Upon reopening, class sizes will be reduced to ensure proper social distancing as directed by NYSED and the Departments of Health. Class sizes will reflect the need to ensure that students are positioned at an adequate social distance. To help support social distancing procedures, our schools will minimize the amount of travel throughout the school buildings to the greatest extent possible. Whenever possible, students will utilize outside space for physical education instruction.

ParentSquare unifies all communication tools from the classroom to the district level, featuring texts, emails and a mobile app to reach families in their preferred method. The district will continue to use ParentSquare to notify staff, students and families/caregivers about school operations to best meet the needs of students. The district will follow its existing engagement and communication protocols with parents regarding the provision of special education services for their children.
- Enhance student to teacher connections
- Purchase musical instruments for music program
- Repurpose existing learning spaces
- Improve ventilation (explore adding A/C units at high school)
- Increase access to technology

Addressing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all students, including low-income students, students with disabilities, English language learners, and students experiencing homelessness
Plan Summary: The needs of all learners including students from low-income households, students with disabilities, English language learners and students experiencing homelessness will be addressed to the extent possible by targeting funds to these areas. Every effort will be made to ensure all students have the necessary support and resources to meet with academic success and ensure social emotional support is provided. The district’s services to support English language learners will continue to be specific to their individual needs. More specifically, this will include outreach to families to ensure students and families have the necessary resources to ensure success. More specifically, we will ensure students have access to technology, a reliable and stable internet connection, supplies and materials and the necessary tutoring to facilitate success.

- Laptop and Chromebook replacement plan
- Outdoor WiFi project (Wiles Park and Fields)

Plan Summary: Fort Plain will work to become a Trauma Skilled School in order to reduce the effects of stress and trauma associated with the pandemic. The focus will be to train the entire workforce to provide the needed support and services to positively impact the daily lives and well being of our students. By helping students to develop personal connections in school and instilling a sense of belonging, regardless of circumstance, this effort is designed to:
- Increase focus on meeting addressing the social emotional needs of students

Grade level teachers will provide standards-based remediation and targeted interventions. Beginning in September, targeted students in grades 3 through 6 will be provided with remediation and enrichment through an afterschool program.

Fort Plain Throwers continue Sectional success
Reported by Brad Niles
Monday, June 7, 2021, was another banner day for the Fort Plain Track & Field Throwers. At the Section 2 Group 5 Field Event Championships held in Berlin, NY, three athletes won Sectional titles, as well as completing other podium worthy finishes. They have carried on the tradition of their predecessors in the throwing events.
In the previous five Track & Field Sectional competitions, there were six championships earned by Fort Plain Throwers. In 2014, Gabby Bridgewater won the girls Shot Put Competition. In 2015, Nate Florian won the boys Discus Title and finished as runner up in Shot Put.
In 2016, Nate Florian again won the Discus Title and was runner up in Shot Put. Rhyonn Ford claimed the girls Shot Put title in 2017 and finished third in Discus. That year Quinn Jones finished second in girls Discus.
2019 saw Hunter Logan sweep both the Shot Put and Discus competitions. Although there was no Sectional competition in 2020, Fort Plain throwers anxiously awaited their return in 2021.
For the 2021 Sectional Championships, Sarah Florian claimed the Discus title with a throw of 99 feet and 1 inch. She also finished 4th in the Shot Put event. Her teammate, Sarah Paradiso, claimed 5th in Discus and 1st in Shot Put. Her competition-winning throw was a career best 31 feet 4 inches. In the boys throwing events, Howie Kelley claimed second in the Boys Shot Put event with a career long throw of 39 feet 9.5 inches. He won the Boys Discus Title with a career best throw of 112 feet and 10 inches.
The Fort Plain Track & Field coaches are proud of these outstanding athletes, as well as all of the athletes on the Track team, both past and present. Everybody has worked to the best of their ability and the positive results speak for themselves. Although season’s ending can be sad, Sectional success makes it easier to wrap up the year!
