After a rigorous process that engaged a wide representation of our amazing community, it is our pleasure to announce the recommendation of Ms. Kristin McNamara as our next Cohen Elementary Principal.
It is anticipated that the Elmira Heights CSD Board of Education will appoint Ms. McNamara at the next board meeting as the successor to Mr. Andrew Lutz, longtime and beloved Cohen Elementary Principal. Mr. Lutz has been with the district as a Teacher, Dean, and Coach up to that point since July 26, 1993. He will be retiring at the end of July.
The search for the next Principal brought in a number of strong candidates from around the region. The district was very pleased and impressed with the quality of candidates interested in joining our amazing elementary school. It is a credit to our school and community that there was this much interest.
Ms. McNamara has been a part of the Heights Schools since August 1, 2013 as a School Counselor. We look forward to this next chapter for Cohen Elementary.

This morning, under the advisement of the Elmira Heights Village Police Department, Elmira Heights Central School District buildings went to a lockout status for approximately 45 minutes as a precaution due to an off-campus situation in the area.
Daily activities within the building continued as usual. Access to buildings was limited to essential personnel. We have since resumed normal operations.
Our School Resource Officer is in contact with local law enforcement, and we will continue to monitor the situation and provide any necessary updates as the day continues.
We thank our partners, the Elmira Heights Police Department for their great work and collaboration!

When a stopped school bus flashes its red light(s), traffic that approaches from either direction, even in front of the school and in school parking lots, must stop before it reaches the bus. You should stop at least 20 feet (6 m) away from the bus.
Before a school bus stops to load or discharge passengers, the driver will usually flash yellow warning lights. When you see them, decrease speed and be prepared to stop.
When you stop for a school bus, you cannot drive again until the red lights stop flashing or when the bus driver or a traffic officer signals you can proceed. This law applies on all roadways in New York State. You must stop for a school bus even if it is on the opposite side of a divided highway.
After you stop for a school bus, look for children along the side of the road. Drive slowly until you have passed them.
2 HOUR DELAY, Tuesday February 28, 2023. The Elmira Heights CSD will be in a 2 hour delay today.
