Seasonal events and feasibility study update: a message from Superintendent Lauren Crisman

Dear Fort Plain Community,

As the holiday season approaches, we are filled with excitement and gratitude for the joy this time of year brings!

Seasonal activities and events

  • Winter athletic competitions are well underway.  View the schedule of events at the Athletics page of our website)
  • The PTA will host a Donuts & Drawing event on Friday, Dec. 6 at 4 p.m. at Harry Hoag Elementary School.
  • The annual Grade 5-12 Winter Concert is scheduled for Dec. 11 at 6 pm in the Jr./Sr. High School Auditorium.

Rumor has it, a special guest from the North Pole will visit the Morning Program to say hello to our littlest learners sometime this month, too.

We hope you can join us for these wonderful seasonal events!

Feasibility Study update

As many of you already know, the district chose to engage in a Feasibility Study to explore a potential merger with Canajoharie CSD. Over the course of the next two months, the study will conclude and the Boards of Education will make a determination regarding next steps.

Upcoming opportunities to learn more about the Feasibility Study

  • Dec. 12, 2024 – Final Advisory Committee meeting,  3:30-5:30 p.m. at Canajoharie CSD.  Committee members will be touring the facilities prior to the meeting.
  • Jan. 16, 2025 –  Joint Board of Education meeting, 6 p.m. at Canajoharie CSD.  The Feasibility Study consultants are scheduled to present a final report to both boards at this meeting and discuss their findings.
  • Jan. 22, 2025 – Joint Board of Education meeting, 6 p.m. at Fort Plain CSD. At this meeting, the Boards will take part in an open discussion of the study recommendations and determine the next steps.

Community members, students, staff and parents are encouraged to attend these meetings.
