We are very excited to announce that through the generosity of the Pratt Northam Foundation, South Lewis Central School has been awarded a grant and will be able to purchase educational mobile hotspots to fill the equity gap for students who do not have any internet access in their home. This survey is to help us identify students and households without internet access in order to help provide internet in the home.
If your household DOES NOT have internet and you would like to be considered for an educational mobile hotspot and internet access for one year FREE OF CHARGE from South Lewis, please complete the form/application located on our district webpage or contact the school offices. We are also aware that there are gaps in mobile service depending on your location in the District, so please indicate the mobile carrier(s) that would provide the best coverage for your home below.
Congratulations to Alexander Hirschey and Brooke Platt who were named as September's Students of the Month. Both students show kindness and good character as they go about their daily life in the high school. Keep up the great work, Alex and Brooke!

"You may not be able to control every situation and its outcome, but you can control your attitude and how you deal with it." High school students are "dealing" with this situation by socially distancing on the beautiful and peaceful South Lewis cross country trails during PE classes. Thank you, Mrs. Gino and Mr. Smykla, for keeping attitudes healthy and hopeful.
The smile behind that Falcon mask belongs to our new Athletic Trainer, Lisa Brown! Though she is one of the newer (masked) faces 'round here, Ms. Brown is already headed in the right direction. She is right at home with a roll of tape: look at those lines to remind us to stay safe and socially distant and check out those knee pads improvised to keep her own self safe and unbruised. Way to go, Ms. Brown! Welcome to our nest!
