Dr. Deborah Larrabee, Fort Plain Jr./Sr. High School Principal, to retire

Please join us in wishing Dr. Deborah Larrabee well in her retirement.

Dr. Larrabee’s retirement, which will take effect on Jan. 3, was approved by our Board of Education at its Dec. 21, 2023 meeting.

Dr. Larrabee has served as an educator and leader in our Fort Plain schools for the past 22 years, as both a high school social studies teacher and class advisor and, since 2004, as the principal of the Jr./Sr. High School. Dr. Larrabee has had a significant and lasting impact on so many of our students and her colleagues across the district.

We are grateful for her service.

Next steps

The district is considering two options to best support the immediate needs of the Jr./Sr. High School students and staff, and allow us time to do a thorough search for the next principal.

A vacancy for an interim principal has been posted. View the posting and description of the Interim Jr./Sr. High School Principal position.

If there are not any interim candidates, the district will develop an internal coverage plan to delegate the building level leadership duties to our existing administrative team.

More information about our move to fill the Jr./Sr. High School Principal position will be forthcoming early in the new year.

For questions or concerns, please contact Mrs. Crisman at 518-993-4000 ext.1000.

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.”

Digital Fluency students celebrate great gains

group of students holding cards saying + 25

Students in Wendy Stokna’s Digital Fluency class at Fort Plain Jr./Sr. High School are celebrating great gains.

Student progress in keyboarding was tracked by looking at the Net Words Per Minute (NWPM) that adjusts speed for accuracy. Collectively the classes started the school year averaging 17 NWPM with a range of 1 to 53 NWPM, and they finished the year averaging 40 NWPM with a range of 21 to 83 NWPM!

“That is an average growth of 23 Net Words Per Minute in one year!” Stokna said. “In each class, students start with a small amount of time using best practices in keyboarding, most importantly trying not to look at their hands and developing muscle memory.

“Just the practice of 10 minutes per class every other day created this amazing result. I want to express to my students how proud I am of their growth of this necessary 21st Century skill!”
