Update regarding instrumental music and events - letter from Joy Holden, Interim Principal


Good afternoon, Margaretville families and community!
We are continuing our work and seeking input from the school community as we plan for the reclassifying of 6th grade as part of the elementary program for the 2025-2026 school year.
To gather your feedback, we're using a tool called ThoughtExchange. All of our voices matter, so your participation is crucial and valued.

You'll be asked to respond to an open-ended questions, consider and assign stars to some of the ideas shared by others (20 to 30 is ideal), and learn what's important to the group.
Your thoughts and stars are confidential. You can come back as often as you'd like to participate and, in fact, we ask that you do come back to star some of the new ideas shared since you first participated. The ratings will help us understand the most important areas to focus on.



All Athletic Schedules are currently up to date. PLEASE remember that games, matches and meets can change daily. There have been a abundance of games that have been rescheduled. Be sure to check the the coach, APP or contact Tracy Reither: treither@margaretvillecs.org if you have any questions.

Mrs. Pacheco's 2nd grade has some eggciting things happening. We have been studying the life cycle of a chicken and this week 3 eggs hatched. We got to see the eggs hatching and have enjoyed watching every step of the process.

Congratulations to all of our talented vocalists in their Spring Chorus Concert last night. Here are just a few of the many highlights captured by our community members. Bravo!








Dear MCS Community,
We continue to work towards establishing a NYS PTSA at Margaretville Central School. The next step in the process is for the Bylaws Committee to create draft bylaws which will be presented for acceptance at the charter meeting.
Most of the bylaws are prescribed by the NYS PTA organization. PTAs throughout New York have similar bylaws which outline things like officer duties and recordkeeping. However, there are a few items on which the MCS unit is offered options. The committee wants to be sure the choices made reflect the opinion of the entire MCS community. Therefore, we have created a questionnaire to gather your thoughts. It can be found here.
Once we have gathered the information, the committee will meet and enter the chosen options into the Bylaws Wizard, which will create the draft document to be presented at the charter meeting.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and we look forward to seeing you at future MCS PTSA meetings and events.
With thanks,
The Bylaws Committee
Doris Warner
Amanda Wells
Michelle Osterhoudt
