Parent Broadcast 2/17/2022
Please be advised that this week we have had 5 elementary students, 3 middle school students, 1 middle school staff, 1 high school student, and 1 high school staff test positive for COVID.
The Chautauqua County Department of Health has been notified.
As a reminder, New York State provided rapid tests for each school across the state to be sent home with every student so that families have the ability to test their child(ren) over break and/or prior to returning to school after recess.
We are working with the health department and are taking all recommended steps to ensure the safety of our students and staff. Rest assured; these individuals will not return until they have completed quarantine/isolation procedures for COVID-19 as directed by the local Department of Health.
We once again remind everyone do their part both inside and outside of school to stop the spread of the virus. I encourage everyone to monitor symptoms, stay home if you’re showing any symptoms, and stringently follow social distancing, face mask, and hand washing protocols as advised. Rest assured, the District continues to enforce strict mask wearing policies and social distancing as directed by Chautauqua County and New York State.
If you have questions regarding the information in this broadcast, please contact our school nurse or the District Office.
Happy 100th day of school from the second-graders in Ms. Lexi Conner’s classroom at Silver Creek Elementary! 🤩 Here’s a photo of these Black Knights at “100 years old.” #wearesilvercreek #blackknightpride #bkp #100daysofschool

Silver Creek Central School District is spotlighting its scholarship opportunities for the Class of 2022.
One of the scholarships available to students pursuing forestry, natural management and/or environmental science is the SANDY COCHRAN MEMORIAL FUND SCHOLARSHIP.
One mission of the privately endowed Sandy Cochran Memorial Fund is to support students who are committed to pursuing a career in forestry, natural resource management or environmental science -- and then applying that knowledge to provide the very best in natural resource management to the 17-county region of northwestern Pennsylvania and southwestern New York.
Sandy Cochran believed that people should work safely, apply best management practices in forests, cultivate the most promising markets for our wood products, stay informed on the most recent research results and technologies, and work to create a policy environment led by well-informed political leaders. He wanted the best and brightest youth to study for forestry and related careers. His friends and colleagues created this fund to further Sandy's wishes.
The endowment funds approximately 1 to 4 scholarships annually, with a value ranging from $250 to $1,000, depending on available funds and on the number and quality of applicants. Scholarships are awarded for study in 2 or 4-year programs in forestry, natural resource management and/or environmental science, and are available to high school seniors about to begin their studies as well as to current college students.
Applicants must submit a cover sheet, an essay indicating how their career aspirations align with the Cochran vision, two or more letters of reference, and their most recent high school or college transcript.
Apply here by April 1, 2022: http://www.sandycochran.org/applications/ScholarshipApplication.pdf

Dear Parent/Guardian:
I would like to inform our school community that Mr. Thomas Buczkowski, our High School Principal, has accepted a position at Gateway Longview located in Buffalo, NY effective March 11, 2022. Please join me in both congratulating Mr. Buczkowski and wishing him the best of luck in his next endeavors. Mr. Buczkowski has given our students and district his complete support and commitment in the 15 years in which he served as a HS Social Studies teacher and the past six years he has served as High School Principal.
We have arranged for Mrs. Delia Bonenberger to serve as interim high school principal while we conduct a thorough and comprehensive search for Mr. Buczkowski’s replacement. Mrs. Bonenberger served as our interim middle school principal this past fall, interim superintendent during the 2015-2016 school year and additionally, she served as interim elementary principal in August through September 2016 and February through July 2020 while we hired our elementary principals. Rest assured, Mrs. Bonenberger has a wealth of experience as an educator in our local region, has intimate knowledge of our district, administrative experience at all levels, and a deep sense of commitment to the students and staff of Silver Creek Central School District.
We have advertised this position and are presently creating a process and timeline for conducting the search for our next high school principal. The Board of Education and I plan to move swiftly with our search process so that we can attract the best candidates for this important position. We anticipate being able to appoint a new high school principal in late March or early April 2022.
Please welcome Mrs. Bonenberger as she begins serving as our interim high school principal on March 14, 2022. I will provide an update in the next few weeks so that you remain informed of the progress regarding this search process.
In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at (716) 934-2603 ext. 1900.
Sincerely,
Todd A. Crandall
Superintendent of Schools
