York Central School's Driver Education Teacher Mrs. Occhioni once again organized a driver safety event in collaboration with GV BOCES and the NYS Police. The event was held at Minnehan's Fun Center in Lakeville.
Driver Education students from Keshequa and Geneseo also attended. The students participated in various activities and stations . Their favorite? The NYS Police Enforcer, which simulates the impact of an automobile accident on the driver and passenger. This activity is to reinforce several things: Always buckle up! Even minor crashes can cause injury to the driver and passenger(s), practice defensive driving, and drive the speed limit.
Thank you to York CSD's Driver Education Teacher Kathy Occhioni for organizing the driver safety event and to Minnehan's for allowing it to be held at their Lakeville location. Thank you also to Keshequa and Geneseo CSDs Driver Ed. teachers and students for participating in this important activity.

Students in York Elementary School's Science Camp are looking at the lives of bats, butterflies, and bees this week. See more photos on our Facebook Page @YorkGoldenKnights.
A bat's habitat can be anything from a forest to a bat cave, a farmer's barn, and even the attic of a home. Bats are visible at night when they come out of their daily rest to feed on mosquitoes and other bugs.
Some types of bees, like bats, prefer to live in groups in a habitat called a hive. Others, like carpenter bees, live alone. They can live in cities, rural areas, forests, and in our homes. You'll find bees wherever they can find plants that need to be pollinated.
Butterflies can be found living anywhere on Earth except Antarctica!
Students really enjoyed learning about these familiar insects and mammals and how, as pollinators, they help our environment.

York Central School and NYSCATE (New York State Association for Computers and Technologies in Education) collaborated to host a professional development opportunity.
The workshop, entitled Exploring Networks and Systems Design Standards, took place over several days at YCS.
NYSCATE Facilitators Doreen Pietrantoni and Mary Beth Guthrie presented on several topics, including:
Digital Literacy
Cybersecurity
Artificial Intelligence
Algorithms and Programming
Networks and Systems Design
Computational Thinking
This was a hands-on workshop, teachers worked in groups to exchange information and develop lesson plans that incorporated some of the new technology explored in the workshop.
For one of the activities, teachers programmed Bee Bots to dance. In another, they programmed bots to fly.
The participants said it was a worthwhile workshop that delivered a lot of technological ideas they could implement into their classroom lessons.
"I am grateful for the opportunity to be exposed to so much digital literacy training and I look forward to implementing some of it in my ELA classes," Christine from Attica CSD commented.
Mike Dale, an Avon CSD Tech teacher, said the collaboration and information sharing among the participants were valuable. He plans to implement some of what he learned into his high school classes.

The basics....that's what you need to know, and that's what our Driver Education students received today at the Bus Garage.
Mr. Holbrook and Mr. Lambert reviewed how to change a tire, check the oil and other fluids, and how to examine the vehicle's tires. They also discussed other basic vehicle maintenance topics.
The bus garage session included getting their hands a little dirty, too. The students took turns jacking up the vehicle and changing the tire. They learned where to locate the vehicle's oil dip stick , coolant, and radiator cap.
Thank you to York Transportation's Mrs. Proctor, Mr. Holbrook, and Mr. Lambert for taking the time to educate our Driver Education students on the basics of vehicle maintenance.

Update on June 27, 2025, Flood Damage to the Ground Floor
On June 27, 2025, sudden heavy rain moved into the area, which resulted in extensive flooding to parts of the York Central School ground floor due to the drain system backing up. Five rooms received extensive damage to the flooring, HVAC systems, and contents of the rooms. Three other rooms received minor damage.
We are grateful to York, Leicester, and Pavilion Fire Departments, and Livingston County Emergency Management for their prompt response and diligent work into the night.
The District enlisted the services of a property restoration company to assist our own Facilities Department with the cleanup. We are assessing the situation and pursuing prevention strategies to protect the ground floor from future weather extremes.
The affected ground-floor rooms will remain closed as we take the time to fully assess what remediation needs to be done on the rooms and areas impacted and what prevention steps can be taken in the future. Three classrooms are being relocated within the elementary school, as we do not anticipate the rooms being ready for the opening of school in September.
Thank you to everyone who assisted on June 27 and to everyone who offered their help. We appreciate the community’s support of York Central School District.
Sincerely,
David Furletti

YMCA Recreation kids had a fun day. Cornell Cooperative Extension and the Livingston County Sheriff's Department were here to share safety lessons with the kids.
The children learned tips for good health, including choosing wholesome foods and being active every day.
From the Livingston County Sheriff's Communications Office, Lonnie Carroll simulated making a 911 emergency call and explained what information is important to convey so that help can reach you as quickly as possible.
Deputy Ryan Bulter from the Community Policing Unit was on hand to assist CCE with a fun bike safety course.

This week, we welcomed Mr. Michael Bastian to the Business Office as the Interim Business Administrator.
Mr. Bastian comes to YCS from Honeoye Central School District, where he was the Elementary School Principal for 11 years and the Business Administrator for the past six years before retiring in June 2025.
He has met most of the summer staff and looks forward to meeting the rest of the Golden Knights Family in September.
Please join us in welcoming Mr. Bastian to our school community.
York Central School is pleased to welcome Middle/High School Principal Mr. Charlie Passarell to the Golden Knights Family.
Mr. Passarell graduated from Avon High School.. He and his family make their home in the Village of Avon.
His educational career began at Geneseo MS/HS. For eight years, he taught high school ELA and coached basketball. He later moved to Greece Arcadia Middle School as an assistant principal and Greece Olympia shortly after as an assistant principal in a 6-12 building.
“I am extremely excited to lead a school community that mirrors the small town, tight-knit community that I affectionately look back upon. One consistent truth that I have learned as an educational leader is that a partnership between families and the school is paramount to the successful movement of the school toward its goals, and ultimately, student success in and beyond high school,” Mr. Passarell commented.
He looks forward to meeting families and plans to host meet-and-greet opportunities this summer.
Please join us in extending a warm Golden Knights welcome to Mr. Passarell.
