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.

For the Anti-Bullying and Drug Prevention Theme Week, CDMS students and teachers participated in "walk in someone else's shoes day" and wore mismatched shoes or traded a shoe with a friend!
The boys Varsity Soccer team played at home last night in a very fast paced and physical game against Coxsackie-Athens in the first round of sectionals.
Zander Santarelli scored off a beautiful pass from Andrew Searing-Burke giving the Mustangs the lead which was answered shortly after by CA. The score was tied at 1-1 going into half.
With about 12 minutes left in regulation, Chase Kelly found the back of the net off a rebound from Oliver Schrull’s direct kick, giving the Mustangs the lead which they held until the buzzer. Both teams left all that they had on the field.
Cairo-Durham travels to Mechanicville on Saturday for a 4 pm start against the Red Raiders.
Let’s go Mustangs! 💙🤍
