High Risk Winter Sports Update
3:30 PM on Wednesday, February 3


Parents and Community Members:


At 1:55 PM on Wednesday, February 3, Dr. Spring, Superintendent of Schools, received the linked documentation from the Oneida County Health Department regarding high risk winter sports.


As a result of these guidelines, the district will need to make adjustments to the plan that was presented during the Tuesday, February 2 Board of Education meeting. This may delay the anticipated start date for sports, originally set for Wednesday, February 10. This delay may be necessary to ensure that the district plan complies with these new guidelines.


We understand the disappointment and stress these changes are creating for our student-athletes. As a district, we remain committed to getting our student-athletes on the court in as safe a manner as possible.

Thank you,

Administrative Team
Waterville Central School District

From Village Trustee Daniel Nichols: 
A big “Thank You” to our local DPW, town, county, and state plow crews for working hard this week to keep our roadways open and helping keep excessive snow buildup in town under control.




We can vouch that they started well before dawn, and by the end of the day one could hardly guess there was a WCS snow day only a few days before.

If a Snow Day on February 2nd draws any memories, 10 years ago they had just the same. This year though, Punxsutawney Phil seemed to have learned a lesson and he saw his shadow. That makes it a more accurate prediction for 6 more weeks of winter.
