The 2024-2025 school year starts on Wednesday, September 4, 2024 for all students.

Below is a quick reference guide for all your back to school needs.

New Website:

Welcome to our new website. We launched the ParentSquare communication system at the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year and we teamed up with the company's website service, SmartSites, to update and upgrade our website. SmartSites interacts with ParentSquare to enhance communication between the district and our families. Our goal with this redesign was to create an easy to navigate website with organized resources and important, up-to-date information.

Schedules & Teacher Assignments:

Beginning on Friday, August 23, 2024, visit the Parent Portal for class lists, schedules and teacher assignments. If you have trouble accessing your account, contact your child's school. Your child's school can also update your contact information. We use your contact information on file to deliver important updates and emergency closure information, so it is important to make sure your school has your updated contact information.

My Ride K-12 App

We are happy to announce that our Transportation Department will be using the My Ride K-12 App beginning on the first day of school. The My Ride App replaces Versatrans My Stop App. With the My Ride App, parents and students can access their bus stop location, route, and pick up time. The app uses vehicle GPS geolocation to show bus arrivals each day. The My Ride K-12 App is available on a computer or on a smart phone. Instructions on how to use the program can be found here. You will need your child’s student ID when registering. Your child’s student ID can be found in SchoolTool. If you have any questions about the app, please call the Transportation Department at 315-638-6097.

Food Service:

All students enrolled at Baldwinsville Central School District are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the 2024-2025 school year. No further action is required of you. Your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit an application.

The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program is what allows all students to obtain a free breakfast and lunch. To continue to have access to these programs we need to meet certain criteria. Part of the criteria is related to our free and reduced breakfast/lunch number. Please fill out the Household Income Eligibility Form to ensure we have all the data we need to continue the resources. This form is to determine eligibility for additional State and federal program benefits that your child(ren) may qualify for.
