Dear Community Members,

It’s hard to believe that the summer is nearly half over already and what a busy summer it is here at Churchville-Chili.

Buildings and grounds crews are spending the summer improving the district inside and out. Cleaning, painting, trimming, and organizing are just a few of the summer tasks underway. The sewer portion of Phase II is wrapping up, as the seeds have been spread over what once was the sewer treatment plant behind the stadium. After we hooked into the county line in Mid-March, the treatment plant and eleven underground tanks were removed and discarded and the area cleaned according to DEC regulations.

While some minor preparation work is underway, we are still waiting for final approval from the State Education Department for the Phase II renovation plans. Our expectation is that we will receive final approval by the end of the summer and begin construction on the new gym at the middle school and several new classrooms by the end of September. Some of that prep work includes closing off and relocating some parking, so please be alerted to that fact as you visit or return to the main campus. More to come on that as construction dates and plans are finalized.

On a personal note, I have once again become a member of the Churchville community. My husband and I recently moved into a farmhouse on Dewey Street. It was months in the making, but I am so glad to truly be home again. I have enjoyed serving the community as a superintendent, now I am thrilled to once again contribute as a Churchville resident and neighbor.

Lastly, I would like to cordially invite each of you to the District’s first Celebrate Churchville-Chili event. It will be held on September 10 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and is open to all staff and families in the Churchville-Chili District. I hope to see you there.  

Sincerely,

Dr. Pam Kissel
