The NYS Education Department has informed the District that a new phone scam is targeting parents and guardians of students who recently took the SAT or PSAT exam.
The scam call will request that parents and guardians give sensitive information, including a credit card number, in order to get the rest results. Please remember that you should not share personal or financial information over the phone with unsolicited callers. Legitimate SAT or preparatory organizations will never ask you for personal details over the phone. If you receive such a call, hang up immediately.
Additional information on protecting yourself from these scams is available below:
Always be wary of unsolicited callers: If you receive a random call from someone asking for payment, research their organization before sharing any personal information.
Double check with your child: If someone claims they're calling because of a service your child requested, hang up and check with your child first.
Understand the College Board's practices: The College Board will never ask you for your bank or credit card information over the phone or through email.
Don't give your financial information to strangers: Never agree to pay a stranger with any form of payment for a purchase you didn't initiate.

Every year, Mr. Hull delivers containers with 2-3 caterpillars and milkweed to all of the elementary school's Pre-K through second-grade classrooms. He provides the class with the opportunity to observe the caterpillars form into their chrysalis to emerge as beautiful Monarch Butterflies, which are then released.
As a reminder, there is no school today, October 14, due to the holiday.
On Thursday, October 17, the Cairo-Durham middle and high schools will dismiss at 11:45 am. Buses will still transport high school students to Questar programs at their normally scheduled times.
