We wanted to inform you that Tamarac Secondary School successfully conducted its second lockdown drill today, December 11th. We appreciate the cooperation of our students and staff during this exercise.
We would also like to express our gratitude to the Rensselaer County Sheriff’s Department and the New York State Police for their support and participation in the drill.
We wanted to inform you about a minor accident that occurred outside of school near the road this morning. Thankfully, no injuries were reported. We want to express our sincere gratitude to the local police and first responders for their prompt response and assistance.
As part of our Holiday's Around the World unit, 3rd graders learn about the Nutcracker Ballet and will be going to a performance of The Nutcracker at Proctors on Friday 12/13. On Tuesday, they were treated to a presentation with ballerina Elizabeth Hite, instructor at Barbara’s School of the Dance. Elizabeth is also a former dancer of the Nutcracker Tour with the Berkshire Ballet. Students were able to learn about the show, listen to some of the music, see one of the dances, and got a mini ballet lesson from Elizabeth!

Supporting local. June Farms in West Sand Lake donated 100 copies of their new book, The Bear at June Farms, to elementary schools through an Instagram giveaway. Mrs. Willsie was the lucky Tamarac Elementary teacher to be chosen for our school! The book is available in her classroom for teachers to borrow and read to their students.
Congratulations to all eight of our Fall Varsity sports teams who have qualified to be recognized as NYSPHSAA Scholar Athlete Teams. To receive Scholar-Athlete team recognition with a certificate, the average GPA of the top 75% of the roster must be greater than or equal to 90.
