Raquette Lake Union Free School

Our phone is not working properly. Sorry for any inconveniences. We hope it is restored soon!

Word has been received that this power outage may last for 48 hours. with that being said, we would like Raquette Lake Residents to know that the school is open for those who may need a warm and safe place to go. The school will remain open until the power comes back on and then the system will be reverted back to regular hours.

We start gymnasium and stage area renovations this week. We expect the renovations to last 6 months +/-. These two areas of the school will be closed to the public until construction is finished. Also, the entire school will be closed from Jan 3-Jan 8 as a safety precaution. Key fobs will not work that week. Thank you for your cooperation.

We hope you have a safe and relaxing holiday season.

When the Governor announced that schools would be allowed to open in this fall on Friday he put some other requirements in place prior to this happening. We are... continuing to work on the reopening plan components he has mandated by meeting with various agencies including the Herkimer County Department of Health. These components will be posted on our website as soon as we feel they appropriately meet the requirements of the Governor's order while having the most complete and up to date information we can include based on our recent agency conversations. We will be meeting with our teachers and staff tomorrow to go over the plan as it currently stands to engage this group and solicit further feedback. We have had multiple meetings with our stakeholder group and teachers' union over the past few weeks and will continue to do that with more meetings scheduled next week. Our parents/guardians will have an opportunity to engage with us through virtual meetings next week as well. We have scheduled the following meetings in an effort to allow you to connect into a meeting to hear the details of the reopening plan: Wednesday, August 19th at 10am and 5:30pm Thursday, August 20th at 1pm The meetings will be conducted in a Google Meets format with links for connecting provided closer to the dates of the meetings. If you have any questions you would like answered during those sessions please send them to [email protected] so that we can compile them and do our best to address your questions. Please submit them at least one day prior to the meeting so that we can do our best to adequately answer them within the sessions.
