Educating Everyone Takes Everyone
Good afternoon, Ballston Spa Elementary School families. We hope you had a restful break. We want you to know how happy we are to have our in-person learners back in the buildings and our remote learners back in their virtual classrooms after the Winter Recess. We would like to share some information regarding our elementary school schedule changes starting the week of March 1st. While we typically are sending communications on Thursdays, we are sending this today due to some of the changes that are noted. Please review the information below and contact your child’s school with questions you may have. Sincerely, BSCSD Elementary Principals

Students attending the three elementary schools on the Wood Road School Complex will be dropped off in the back of their school using the rear access road. All cars will enter from Route 67 and proceed north on Wood Road around the school buildings. Parents have been assigned an arrival time between 9:00 and 9:30 AM and should look for the designated drop off zone behind their child’s school. Students will be met at their car by staff members who will direct them into the building. Please watch the video.
