Cell Phones:
 New York State now requires schools to limit access to internet-enabled devices during the school day. In response, North Syracuse Central School District is implementing a bell-to-bell phone-free environment this fall. To support this, CNS will be using Yondr pouches a secure system that keeps students' phones locked during the day while still allowing students to have their phone in their possession. Students will receive their personal pouch on the first day of school and will use it daily throughout the school year. Phones will still be available in the main office, house office and counseling offices for emergencies, and we'll ensure students and families can stay connected when truly needed. We believe this change will help reduce distractions, improve focus, and create a more connected school environment.

Student Drop off and Pick up:
Student Drop off and Pick up: Please use the upper lot closest to Route 31 to drop off and pick up your students at arrival and dismissal times (map attached). Do not drive into the student parking lot at these times as it causes unneeded congestion with our student drivers. Students are expected to be in their first class by 7:35AM; please plan accordingly. If you are picking up a student or dropping them off during the day, drive right up to the main entrance.



Students can also stay after school with their teachers from 2:10-3:00.
