Hello! It is with great excitement that we welcome you to the 2008-2009 school year!

Minnesauke is an excellent school and a wonderful place to receive an education. Our staff, parents and students are proud of our common commitment to educating our youngsters and meeting their needs through differentiation of instruction. We strive to give each child a supportive environment in which to learn. Our students are at the heart of all that we do.

You will notice that we have a new and improved website. We have posted many interesting and helpful pieces of information for your perusal and will continue to do so throughout the school year. This is our second year of working hard to eliminate the dissemination of unnecessary paper. All information that you need to know will be posted to our website and our Parent Portal. Our website address is (3villagecsd.k12.ny.us) and our Parent

Portal can be accessed through the website. All PTA information will be included on their website so please refer to these sites regularly to keep abreast of all the happenings at Minnesauke. If you do not have your password to gain access to the Parent Portal, you may obtain that information by coming to Minnesauke over the summer between the hours of 8:30-12:00 Monday through Friday. Only members of the Minnesauke School community can gain entry to the Parent Portal and any “sensitive” information “for our eyes only” will be disseminated through that venue.

We would like to extend a warm welcome for our families to join us on Saturday, September 27th for our annual Harvest Festival. There will be games, food, entertainment, crafts and lots of fun for everyone! If you attended last year you will know that this is one event not to be missed! If you weren’t there, don’t miss out on this wonderful event two years in a row!! It is one of our favorite events of the year!

As we look to the new school year with hope and anticipation, we look forward to continuing the wonderful relationship we have with our PTA and the Three Village Community. We thank you for your constant support.

It is with genuine sincerity that we wish each and every one of our families and staff members a successful and happy school year! We look forward to our partnership to ensure a quality education for our students!

Mrs. P. Bienia, Principal and Mrs. P. Essenfeld, Assistant Principal
