The return to in-person learning may result in minor transportation schedule and bus stop changes beginning on Wednesday, March 17 when our IEP students return five days a week. Specifically, some students might experience a shift in drop-off or pick-up times, as much as 5 minutes later or earlier than they have been used to thus far this school year. Bus stop location shifts may also occur. This will mainly impact sixth graders who have not taken the bus since elementary school because middle school bus stops may not be the same as elementary stops were.
Please review the attached spreadsheets to determine if your student is impacted:
If you have a specific question about your student, please email Leonor Volpe at volpel@mahopac.org.
The MCSD has six snow/emergency days allocated for the 2020-21 school year which can be used while still maintaining the required number of instructional days for students. Snow/emergency closures create complications beyond learning such as child care, power outages, and access to technology. Therefore, MCSD will continue to close or delay school based on weather conditions.
If we need to close due to the weather, we will use one of the six days built into the school calendar and there will be no remote learning for that day. Stay safe.
This Calendar includes school breaks, holidays, and color cohort days for the entire 2020-2021 school year. *Please refer to specific communications from schools for building specific changes and updates.*
We are excited to announce that we are participating in The 2021 Great Kindness Challenge where we will join thousands of schools across the country to create a culture of kindness. This initiative is one week devoted to performing as many acts of kindness as possible in school and at home.
This past year has been challenging for our school community and the world, so we are extra excited to participate in this uplifting week of positivity. To help our students “practice kindness” and put their compassion into action, they will receive a Great Kindness Challenge checklist. The challenge will be for your child to perform as many kind acts as they can in one week. In the chart below is the schedule of events that will take place in school and virtually throughout the week. Your child is part of a powerful and positive initiative that will lead to more kindness, unity and respect at school and beyond.
This Calendar includes school breaks, holidays, and color cohort days for the entire 2020-2021 school year. *Please refer to specific communications from schools for building specific changes and updates.*

Teachers and staff from all three of Mahopac’s elementary schools - Lakeview, Austin Road, and Fulmer Road - held a parade on Friday, June 5, to pay tribute and say goodbye to their students, who they haven’t seen in person since the pandemic shutdown began. Students lined Route 6 with signs so they could say “goodbye” as well in a touching tribute.
Check out pictures of the parade - with many pictures submitted by YOU - here!
