As we move into warmer weather, we want to remind families of our district protocol for extreme heat. We are closely monitoring temperatures in all classrooms and making adjustments to schedules and learning spaces as needed.
Our priority during these warmer days is the safety and comfort of our students and staff. In accordance with New York State law, schools must take specific precautions during extreme heat conditions, and we are committed to meeting those requirements.
Building leaders at the elementary and high school levels have identified alternative air‑conditioned locations should any classrooms become too warm. The middle school is fully air‑conditioned, and temperatures there remain stable. If extreme heat ever prevents us from safely maintaining in‑person learning, the district will provide families with as much advance notice as possible.
Below you will find a chart outlining the Trumansburg School District’s extreme heat protocol and the measures we take to keep our school community safe and comfortable.
We are excited to celebrate this special race, now in its 13th year, as a chance to bring our community together for a wellness event and to cheer on the Trumansburg Girls on the Run Team that will finish their season by running the 5K surrounded by fans in their own hometown. If you or your business would like to help sponsor the May Day 5K event, please email info@tburgpto.com. All donations are tax-deductible and may be mailed to May Day 5K, c/o Trumansburg PTO, 100 Whig St. Trumansburg, NY, 14886. The May Day 5K is a fundraising event for the Trumansburg PTO and TEF, which means all funds raised will be used to directly benefit students and teachers in the Trumansburg School district. We hope to see you on May 30th!
