Hello Northstar Nation!

Show your Northstar pride and support a great cause!
The CNS Principal’s Cabinet is coordinating a “Forever a Northstar” T-shirt sale in support of Griffin’s Guardians, leading up to our Hoops for Hope doubleheader on Tuesday, February 3rd.
Staff, students, and spectators are encouraged to pre-order a shirt to wear at the game and show our CNS unity.
Orders must be placed by Thursday, January 15th using the link below.
All shirts will be delivered to CNS and distributed by the Principal’s Cabinet prior to game day.
Thank you for supporting our students, our school, and this important cause.

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.
Students should check with their teachers to see which days they are available (availability may change week to week).
Teachers are usually available to stay after every day except Tuesdays and Thursdays.
