The Code of Conduct of Minisink Valley Central School District meets all of the requirements of Project S.A.V.E. (Safe Schools Against Violence in Education). This New York State legislation is among the most comprehensive in the nation to ensure that our students will be safe in their schools. The Code of Conduct contains procedures relating to discipline, detention, suspension and expulsion. It also includes appropriate standards for student language, dress and behavior.

During the week of September 21^st, the district installed a new, computerized point of sale system in our cafeterias.  In addition to the automated accounting features that will increase efficiency, the program provides a convenient and secure online prepayment option for our families.  Parents may continue to prepay with cash or by check, but will also be able to make their prepayments online.  We are excited to offer this new service and hope that it will be a convenience for many of our families.
