The date for this streaming event will be March 11 at 1 p.m. As always we would like to offer the viewing to our senior community at no charge.

Big changes are coming to the Palmyra-Macedon Middle School media center as the facility is undergoing a complete renovation, which will transform it into a cutting-edge learning hub.

To say 2020 has been unusual, would be a dramatic understatement. However, despite the tough times many of us have experienced in our personal and professional lives, one thing that continues to stand out to me is the Pal-Mac spirit.

Hope. When we think of school in upstate New York, hoping for a snow day is deep within us. But how do we learn about this hopefulness?

The areas surrounding the Performing Arts Center at Palmyra-Macedon High School are in the midst of a massive overhaul. The work will enhance the functionality of the facility and surrounding areas while creating a more inviting space to enjoy performances and events for students and community members.

Based on guidance from state and local officials, low risk sports are now able to take place in Section V. At Pal-Mac, this includes Boys/Girls Cross Country, Golf, Boys/Girls Soccer, Girls Swimming, and Girls Tennis. Practice/tryouts for all levels will start on Monday, September 21, 2020.

Once upon a time, on the evening of Sunday, March 13, 2020, the reality of the State’s health emergency hit close to home. Ken Miller, Chairman of the Wayne County Board of Supervisors and Supervisor for the Town of Palmyra, declared a state of emergency for Wayne County. Subsequently, the Palmyra-Macedon Central School District announced a district-wide closure of all schools. And . . . once upon a time, there was a little girl named Goldilocks. She entered the scene at Pal-Mac.

Each day, all students and staff are required to complete a health screening prior to entering district buildings as mandated by the New York State Department of Health. The screening will be completed daily through the ParentSquare app.

The upcoming school year might look a little different but our goal remains the same, to provide an outstanding education to ALL of our students. Check out this message for in-person instruction. We have signage throughout our buildings as reminders of the guidelines in place, and to assist with social distancing.

As the new school year begins, a new face is leading Palmyra-Macedon Primary School. On July 1, Jamie Murphy took the reins from former Principal Brian Brooks who recently transitioned to the role of Assistant Superintendent for Student Learning and Instruction.

All students, staff, and pre-approved visitors must wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect against the transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Acceptable face coverings include but are not limited to cloth based face coverings (e.g., homemade sewn, quick cut, bandana), and surgical masks that cover both the mouth and nose.

During the 2020-21 school year, ensuring contact information on file with the Palmyra-Macedon Central School District is key. The district will utilize its messaging systems to relay important announcements regarding COVID-19 along with other relevant updates.

As the 2020-21 Palmyra-Macedon Central School District academic year begins, the district would like to make the Pal-Mac community aware of important dates for the new school year. Due to the ongoing impacts of the COVID 19, the following dates are subject to change.

As the Palmyra-Macedon Central School District continues in-person instruction, it is critically important that parents and guardians play an active role in maintaining a safe environment for students and staff. Of paramount importance is observing signs of illness, and keeping your child home should symptoms of illness be exhibited. 

During these uncertain times, staying connected is more important than ever. The district is excited to announce the implementation of a new tool called ParentSquare to communicate with district families.

On Monday, August 10, the Palmyra-Macedon Central School District was notified that it failed to submit a COVID-19 School Reopening Plan.

In accordance with guidelines established by the New York State Department of Health (DOH), the Palmyra-Macedon Central School District has formulated a school reopening plan for submission to DOH, New York State Education Department (NYSED) and publication to the Pal-Mac community. The plan prioritizes in-person instruction as per NYS guidelines and offers two levels of programming: a full return to school (Level 1) or remote learning (Level 2).

As our country continues to be impacted by COVID-19, more interactions than ever are occurring digitally including among students throughout Palmyra-Macedon Central School District.

In recent years, the sport of competitive video gaming known as Electronic Sports (Esports) has seen its popularity explode. Esports has burst onto the scene locally with the Palmyra-Macedon Central School District formalizing a team of its own in March 2019.
