Internet and Social Media Safety Information:
Dear Parents:
As you may know, the North Syracuse Central School District’s Department of Information Technology provides students access to a state-of-the-art computer network and devices for educational purposes. While this access allows students to explore thousands of libraries, databases, and educational web sites, it does not come without risk.

Parents and students in the North Syracuse Central School District should be advised that passwords for all student school/district accounts (schooltool, Google) for students in grades 5-12 will be reset to their default password on August 19, 2019 . Passwords are routinely reset each year to ensure that students will be able to access their accounts at the beginning of the school year as many students forget their unused passwords over the summer.
For students that may be unsure of their default password, email messages have been sent to parents with information about default settings. Parents/students of affected students will also receive a pop-up message with instructions when logging into schooltool prior to August 19.

Superintendent's Message Regarding High Heat:
Hello North Syracuse Central School District families!
