Midstate Athletic Conference

On Friday, September 11, 2020, the Midstate Athletic Conference (MAC) voted to postpone all interscholastic athletics until January 4, 2021. Upon the start of athletics next January, the MAC will follow the NYSPHSAA schedule for condensed seasons: winter sports, fall sports, then spring sports. With the later start date, we are hopeful that all athletic seasons will be able to be completed in their entirety. This may also include sectional and state-level play, as allowable, for the respective sports.

We congratulate all our staff members for helping to make Afton Central School a great place to work and learn!

Introduction to Microsoft Teams for Parents

Afton CSD is excited to expand the use of Office 365 to include Microsoft Teams (similar to Google Classroom). Teams integrates a video conferencing solution as well other communications options like posts and chats. It offers easy access to Class Notebooks for content sharing and collaboration. Teachers can also post assignments through Teams. Teachers will guide students as to how Teams will be used in their specific classroom, but to get you started, please check out the videos below. We will continue to add resources to the district website under the Parent and Student pages. Please keep in mind, this is new for both staff and students so everyone will be learning together!

Food Pantry
The Afton School Food Pantry is here to serve our community in this uncertain time. Starting Thursday 6/18/20 the School Food Pantry program will be available for pick-up only from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM on the Academy Street side of the building. For convenience, this is the same time as the cafeteria's weekly meal distribution.

There is a small amount of paperwork that goes along with this program. It is available to anyone who feels their family could benefit from a weekly food box supplement.
