The internet exposes children to significant dangers that digital safety education helps them identify and avoid. Thank you for Deputy Loeper for going into our elementary classrooms to help prepare our students to be positive members of the online community.

STEM pathway signing day is an event that honors high school students who are committed to pursuing a degree and career in a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) field, similar to signing days for student-athletes. These events celebrate students' dedication and commitment to STEM, often featuring partnerships with corporations, foundations, and state-wide initiatives to recognize their achievements and future potential. Congratulation to Rowan Zapp!
🏈 Homecoming Football Game 🏈
7:00 pm Friday, October 24
@ Hoosick Falls - Tamarac vs. Mechanicville
In anticipation of a large turnout, arrangements have been made to shuttle spectators from the TOPS Friendly Market parking lot to the high school from 6:00 pm through 10:00 pm. TOPS Friendly Market is located 1.6 miles north of Hoosick Falls High School on RT 22.
To accommodate the expected turnout, we ask spectators to ride together as much as possible to reduce the number of vehicles in the parking lot.

Any questions feel free to reach out to the Health Office.
Sports physicals should be done after 10/31/2024 with cardiac clearance from your child's physician to be valid for Winter Sports.
