By

The Hoosick Falls Elementary School has finalized the process for kindergarten registration and screening for the 2015-2016 school year. Parents of children residing in the Hoosick Falls Central School District who will be five years old on or before December 1, 2015, should contact the Elementary School office as soon as possible at 686-9492 to provide the District with required information. This information will be used to create a mailing list for future events, including kindergarten screening.

An informational meeting for parents and guardians only will be held on Thursday, April 16, at 6 pm in the Elementary School cafeteria. Parents will receive important information regarding medical requirements and concerns, transportation and the school breakfast and lunch program. They will also have the opportunity to meet all of the kindergarten teachers and briefly preview the curriculum as they rotate through the classrooms.

An additional component of the kindergarten registration process is Kindergarten Screening which is scheduled for June 22 through June 24. More detailed information pertaining to the screening will be provided at the informational meeting for parents. Registration packets are available through the Elementary School office. We look forward to hearing from you.

The Panther Ladies went to Stillwater last Thursday to play the Warriors. A couple hours later and the Panthers were heading home with a 66 – 49 win. Rachel Pine led the way with 22 points, Taylor Hayes had a nice outing, tallying 14 points.

Tuesday evening was the biggest game of the year up to this point for the Ladies. Undefeated Greenwich and high scoring Alexis Case came to town for a showdown. With a big, vocal crowd on hand, the game lived up to its billing as a classic. The Panthers pulled away a bit at the very end, but they struggled to do it.

Last Friday evening the Panther boys basketball team hosted the Stillwater Warriors. In the early going in the first quarter, Connor McCart and Austin Pitt led the Panthers to a high single digit lead. It was a good thing they did. That gap stayed about 10 points for the remainder of the game. The Panthers just couldn’t pull away, and the Warriors, try as they might, just couldn’t catch up. The score at the half was 31 – 20.
