(NEW) BusQuest app – We are piloting a new BusQuest app that notifies families when the bus is within a certain zone for pick up and drop off at the bus stop. AGM was the first building to participate in this pilot which began on April 1, 2025. The other schools joined throughout the month of April, concluding with JFS on April 29 and UEHS on May 6. The app allows families to control the circle around their bus stop where they want to be notified. When the bus enters that circle, they will get a notification on their phone the bus has reached their designated zone. If you have questions or issues registering, please contact Transportation Supervisor, Deb Saunders, at 607-757-2125 or email dsaunder@uek12.org. Thanks!

Did you know…
The annual school calendar is built using the BT-BOCES calendar as a template, so all component districts in the region have the same vacation days.
Some districts in other areas of the state have different vacation schedules due to their BOCES using a different template.
Next year, we have 6 snow days built into the calendar.
