A Quick Clarification Regarding School Tax Payments
As residents begin receiving their school tax bills, we would like to share a few helpful clarifications regarding this year’s payment process.
• The payment lockbox is located in Boston, Massachusetts. We understand that an out-of-state mailing address may look unfamiliar. Please be assured that the Boston address listed on your tax bill is correct and is not a scam or an error.
• Checks should be made payable to the Cuba-Rushford Central School District.
• Online payment by credit card or ACH is completely optional. For several years, members of our community have asked for additional payment options, including the ability to pay school taxes by credit card. We are pleased to now be able to offer that convenience. As is common with online tax payment services, processing or convenience fees associated with these payment methods are paid by the taxpayer using the service. Taxpayers who prefer to avoid these fees may continue to pay by check or money order using the instructions provided with their tax bill.
• Why the change? The District made this change as part of an ongoing effort to streamline our banking operations by reducing the number of financial institutions we work with. This helps simplify the collection and reconciliation process while also allowing us to provide additional payment options requested by our community. As part of our responsibility to taxpayers, the District continually seeks services that provide the best combination of value, efficiency, security, and reliability. At times, the provider offering the most beneficial service may be located outside our immediate region, while still operating within the United States.
We recognize that any change to a familiar process can create questions, particularly when something looks different from previous years. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we transition to the new system.
Thank you for helping us ensure that school tax payments are processed as efficiently, securely, and accurately as possible.

UPDATE: Online Tax Payments
The issue with our online tax payment system has been resolved, and online payments are now working correctly. Thank you for your patience while we worked to get this corrected.
A few reminders for taxpayers:
• Online payment is completely optional. You may still pay by check through the mail using the lockbox address printed on your tax bill.
• If you choose to pay online, you will first need to look up your tax bill. When searching, you must enter the last name and the street address, including the house number, exactly as they appear on your tax bill.
• Once your bill is located, you can proceed with the online payment option.
We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding while the online payment issue was being resolved.

Congratulations to Kalvyn Heard, who was just informed that he was accepted into NYSSMA Conference All-State Mixed Choir as a Bass 2!
Approximately 6000 students from across NYS audition for this honor, and about 800 are selected and seated into 9 different ensembles. He received a perfect score on his NYSSMA audition in May to be considered for this honor!
Kalvyn will go to Rochester in December to work with world-renowned conductors and musicians. He will rehearse alongside 200 other student vocalists over 4 days and perform at Eastman Theatre. This is the highest honor that a NYS musician school music student can attain!

Building Our Future Together: Capital Project Update
Progress continues on our capital project!
The Rainbow Hallway, which consisted of several enclosed trailers, has been demolished to make room for the new learning environment and a new pick-up/drop-off loop.
This is another exciting step forward as we invest in facilities that will better serve our students, staff, and community for years to come. Stay tuned for more updates as the project progresses!

Last night, the Cuba-Rushford Board of Education approved two exciting overnight opportunities for our FFA students!
Our students will have the opportunity to represent Cuba-Rushford at the New York State Fair, including livestock judging competition, and later this fall at The Big E in Springfield, Massachusetts, where seven students will compete in Marketing Plan and Forestry events alongside FFA members from across the region.
These experiences give our students opportunities to compete, travel, develop leadership skills, and represent our school and community well beyond the walls of the classroom.
We are grateful to our Board of Education for supporting meaningful student experiences like these, and especially thankful for Mrs. Santangelo, our FFA Advisor, whose commitment, energy, and dedication continue to create outstanding opportunities for our students.
We can’t wait to see what our FFA students accomplish! Good luck, Rebels!

Celebrating Our Summer Feeding Program!
As our Summer Feeding Program comes to a close, I want to recognize Cafeteria Manager Cindy Winchell, Head Cook Patty Shoff, and our bus drivers for their tremendous commitment to serving the children of our community.
This summer, we provided 1,447 breakfasts and 1,908 lunches — an incredible 3,355 meals! With serving locations at the school and at the Rushford Town Hall gazebo, we were able to provide access on both the north and south ends of our district, helping serve children across the 13 towns that make up Cuba-Rushford.
A special thank you to Cindy and Patty for being there each day to serve our families, and to our bus driver for helping make the daily Rushford delivery possible.
This program is a wonderful example of our commitment to taking care of our kids and serving our communities. I am very proud of everyone who made it possible.
