3/6/2023 Superintendent's Message

Dear Iroquois Family,

Good afternoon, here is important information for the week of March 6th:

 

Strategic Plan

One important part of the Strategic Plan is the development of a comprehensive long-range facilities development and maintenance plan.  The District is re-forming the Facilities Committee to evaluate our student, staff and community infrastructure requirements.  The findings of this committee will help shape future capital projects in our district.  We plan to start meeting in March and complete our work by May.

To improve interaction, we plan to have meetings in-person, usually in the Middle School STEM room.  The typical time will be 4:00 to 5:30 pm.

If you are interested in becoming a member of Facilities Committee please submit your name to the District using the following link:.  https://www.iroquoiscsd.org/site/Default.aspx?PageID=11304

 

High School

The High School Drama Club will be performing The Sponge Bob Musical this year.  Performances are on March 16th, 17th and 18th.  

Tickets are available at the following link:  https://www.iroquoiscsd.org/Page/11507

This will be a spectacular show.

The event is sponsored by The Buffalo State Design Dept. The exhibit will be held from March 13-29th with an evening reception for students on March 23 at 6:00pm. The awards will be announced at this time.

 

Music Department

On Tuesday, March 7, at 7:30 PM, the High School Vocal Music Department presents "A March Intermezzo".  This concert will be held in the HS auditorium and will feature a delightful mix of music performed by several of our choral groups as well as some of our talented senior soloists!  This concert is free and open to the public! 

Congratulations to senior clarinetist Aurelia for her acceptance into the New York State Band Director’s Association State-wide Honor Band. Aurelia was chosen from amongst hundreds of applicants to represent Iroquois in Syracuse over the weekend of March 3-5. She participated in a weekend of rehearsals with students from throughout New York State, which culminated in a grand finale concert held on Sunday afternoon. Aurelia is an active member and leader of multiple performing ensembles in the Iroquois High School Music Department and plans to pursue a career in music after graduating this year. Congratulations Aurelia!
