This fall, it is necessary to make some changes in our school tax collection process.In the past, Otselic Valley Central School District appointed N B T Bank as Tax Collector. Historically, N B T Bank processed all school tax payments, from walk-in taxpayers to those returned by mail. This year, we have new processes for paying tax bills. Read on for more details.

Last spring, tucked into the intersection of the elementary school hallways,  a magical new place was waiting for readers. A convenient, shared reading corner was open to everyone, from our smallest students to adult staff. The idea came from an online find by Mrs. Stacie Morse, but it became real over spring recess through great effort by the community, guided by the thoughtful direction of Mrs. Wendy Derochie-Roodenburg.  The time and talents of many got it started: from identifying free chairs, to picking them up, to hours spent taking off the old varnish, to painting fresh designs, to designing the corner arrangement, to finding functional items to add, to putting it altogether. It takes a village to do wonderful things but not because it's too hard -- it's because many have the vision and heart for giving.
