Cooperstown CSD’s Counseling Department is excited to announce upcoming opportunities for you, the larger community, and our students to learn more about screen time and navigating the internet safely, with an emphasis on mental health and wellness. On March 7th, the Integrated Community Alternatives Network (ICAN) will present a parent and community workshop at the Cooperstown Village Library. The program will be from 6:30-7:30PM and our gracious PTA will be offering refreshments beginning at 6PM. Students in grades 4-12 will receive similar but developmentally appropriate presentations at school throughout the month of March. These presentations will be held on March 15th for students in grades 4-8 and on March 21st at the Jr./Sr. High School Health Fair for students in grades 9-12.
The goal of these programs is to educate students and families on the tools, skills, and strategies needed to become more digitally literate and safe, while gaining an understanding of the mental health impacts of our digital footprint.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to the CCS Counseling Department. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Good afternoon.
Recently we asked families to complete a survey regarding their transportation needs. As a follow-up, a Student Transportation Verification/Change Form for each student is being mailed home today. In order to get them out in as timely a manner as possible, separate forms were mailed for each student, so for families with multiple children enrolled in our schools please forgive the overload.
If you need to make changes to the information or you require transportation for one or more of your children to and/or from a location other than your residence, please return the form as soon as possible so we can determine whether or not we can accommodate the request.
If no changes are necessary, we ask that you please return the form at your earliest convenience.
Best regards,
Amy Kukenberger

Authors, musicians and storytellers Dr. Joseph Bruchac and his son Jesse Bruchac joined CCS students today in separate virtual events designed for students in grades K-12. Students enjoyed stories and songs from their Native American ancestry. A proud Nulhegan Abenaki citizen and respected elder among his people, Dr. Bruchac reminded us that music can call us together and remind us of a time of rebirth, especially during springtime. His son Jesse reminded students to enjoy listening and learning through storytelling, music and books. Dr. Bruchac spoke of the years of research, writing and rewriting that went into CodeTalkers, a novel about a fictional Navajo Code Talker from World War II. Students shared their interests and asked questions throughout these virtual events.
Many thanks to CCS Library Media Specialist Michelle Hitchcock and the Cooperstown PTA for making this event possible for our CCS students in Grades K-12.
Dr. Joseph Bruchac is an author of more than 120 books. He holds a B.A. from Cornell University, an M.A. in Literature and Creative Writing from Syracuse and a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the Union Institute of Ohio. For more information, go to https://www.josephbruchac.com
