Malone Central School District

Changes in Student Enrollment Type

Hybrid to Remote

If your child has been attending school in person under the hybrid model, and you wish to switch to full remote, please call the main office of your child's school. This switch may be made at any time.

Remote to Hybrid

If your child has been fully remote and you would like to have them switch to the hybrid model and attend school in person two days a week, please fill out this form. Because of the complexity of scheduling students into the hybrid model, this switch may only be made at the start of each marking period, and we ask that you fill in the form by the deadline listed below for each of those quarters.

• January 29th - Fill in the form by January 18th.

• April 16th - Fill in the form April 6th.

The deadline has passed for students to return for the 2nd quarter. Please fill out the form by January 18th if you would like your child to return to school for the 3rd quarter.

Free Breakfast & Lunch for All Students

Recent federal and state decisions now allow the District to serve seven days of free meals per week to all students ages 18 and under until June 30, 2021. This decision is subject to change at the federal government’s discretion. The District still requires that households complete applications for free and reduced meals as usual and return them as soon as possible. Meals will be provided at no cost.

Even though meals for all students will be free through June 30, 2021, you should still complete a Free/Reduced Breakfast/Lunch Application so that these arrangements are in place for your student when the federal program comes to an end. Please do not wait to do so. That application can be found in the next section down on this webpage. If you have a change in employment status at any point in this school year, please complete a new Application

Meal Delivery During the Full Remote Period, 11/12/20-1/4/21:

1) Masks (or appropriate/approved face coverings) must be worn to board the bus and remain on for the duration of the bus ride.

2) Students may have ONE approved bus stop ONLY to and from school.

3) Assigned seating will be MANDATORY.

​4) The district's walking policy will be enforced. (See the Transportation page for walking maps.)

Community WiFi Access

In an effort to help students who may not have internet access at home, the following arrangements have been made to provide spots throughout the community. Please note that these hot spots are set up to automatically connect to school-owned devices; personal devices will not connect to them.

The aim is to provide access while still allowing for social distancing, so you do not need to leave your vehicle to use them. In the case of the fire departments, please be sure that you are not blocking the doors of the fire house.
