The first day of school was filled with smiles, excitement, and plenty of familiar faces across the Onteora Central School District on September 8!

The Onteora Central School District will be using a new parent app, Stopfinder, for the upcoming school year. Stopfinder is the easy-to-use, all-in-one app that allows you to have the most accurate information about your student’s bus schedule at anytime from anywhere.

Spirits were high on June 23 as Bennett Elementary School's Grade 5 students took to the auditorium stage one final time before beginning an exciting new chapter.
