Honeoye Welcomes French Visitors

Students Experience Life at Honeoye During Two-Week Stay

October 22, 2025
Honeoye Welcomes Visitors From France
The halls of Honeoye welcomed some wonderful guests from France in early October as part of an exchange program between Honeoye Central School and Lycée Bréguigny in Rennes, France.

Twenty-one students from France, along with two adult chaperones, arrived on October 4 just in time for the Homecoming Dance and from there had little downtime. Between a tour of the school, crepe parties, visits to local points of interest and historical sites including Niagara Falls, our French visitors were busy!
The students stayed with local families during their visit, which ended with their October 17 departure for home. 

Thank you to the local families that helped with lodging and company during the visit and thanks to local businesses, organizations and officials who helped make their stay a memorable one! We look forward to staying in touch and having our Honeoye students visit in March 2026!

Day of Caring: A Student Perspective

HCS Senior Payton Slade Shares Thoughts on Day of Caring Impact

October 20, 2025
HCS senior Payton Slade offers her thoughts on the impact of Day of Caring
By Payton Slade (HCS senior)

Small impacts may seem pointless to some, however, after participating in the Day of Caring at Honeoye Central School, many came to the realization that what may have once been silly in their minds helps others in great ways. On Friday October 3, all students, pre-k through 12 at Honeoye Central made differences throughout the community.

After receiving the beautifully designed shirts by Zara, an HCS Senior, the 6th graders headed out to the Honeoye Community Garden, the Richmond Town Hall, and the Richmond Fire Department. Our 7th graders stayed right at the school and helped paint inspirational rocks to leave in the courtyards, made birdhouses and planted bulbs around the school. Sandy Bottom got some attention from the 8th graders by painting bathroom floors and picnic tables.

The freshman class was split into two groups in order to help as many around our community as possible. Some went to the Bristol Library, Levi Corser Park and the Bristol Fire Department and others from the freshman class went to Allen’s Hill Library. The sophomores headed to Richmond to help with outside work around the town. Garden work around our town was mainly completed by the juniors who headed to Canandice, Hemlock Community Center, St. Mary’s, UCC and the Honeoye Baseball field.

However, our seniors stayed together for their last year participating in Honeoye’s Day of Caring and went to Ontario County Park to do some outside work and stain picnic tables. 

As every group came back together to the school for a very delicious pizza lunch served by administrators and Board of Education members, the air was filled with the never-ending sounds of laughter and, most of all, hearts full of kindness. If you decided to look around at lunch and during the drone picture of all members of our school, you would have seen paint splattered on everyone’s shirts, but this paint stood for more than just helping the community; it also stood for the pride all of us have for our school.

The Day of Caring at Honeoye shows how everyone at this school will come together when others need it most. I truly believe that our community does an immense amount for our school simply based on their love for HCS. Last year the boys basketball team went to State final, and the community rallied behind it, even paying for the spectator buses and inspiring the team to perform to the best of its ability. Kindness from our community to our school is never ending, so we should give the kindness back. 

Our school is different, our school is better, our school is great because our school gives like no other does. At our Pep Rally at the end of the Day of Caring, the teachers and students participated together to share some laughs with each other while playing games. After the Day of Caring, the students at our school left with memories, pictures, and best of all, a smile on their faces.   
“The Day of Caring not only helps to foster toughness and pride for our school but also for our community.” ~ Chloe, Vice President of Youth to Youth. 

Imagine if this Day of Caring weren't just one single day of the year. Imagine if the impact that the day of caring makes were trickled into more days, more groups, or just the norm around town.

Many hands make for light work and that is proven to be true when the Honeoye Central School District participates in the Day of Caring.

Playground Build Update

Posted Date: 10/07/25 (4:20 PM)

Thank you to everyone who has officially volunteered to help with our August 2026 Community Playground Build! At this time, we have enough people to move forward with a hybrid build model.

Next steps include meeting with Play by Design, forming committees, and scheduling our first official community meeting with their team. I’ll share the meeting date as soon as it’s confirmed. It will be important for everyone who hopes to help to attend this meeting. (And as planning continues, if more people express interest, we may still have the opportunity to transition to a full community build if that makes sense for us.)

Your excitement and willingness to get involved continue to make all the difference. Thank you for helping us create something truly special for our students and community!

Natalie Pfluke
Superintendent


Day of Caring a Grand Success

Day of Caring a Grand Success

Third annual event kept our Bulldogs busy in and around Honeoye

October 7, 2025
Honeoye Celebrates third year of Day of Caring
The third annual Day of Caring on Friday, October 3, was a grand success on all accounts for Honeoye Central School District and the surrounding community. 

Ideal weather helped our older students who were working outside, which included stops at area churches, parks and the Richmond Fire Department. WHAM-TV from Rochester even paid a visit to interview students! Closer to home, the Elementary School students enjoyed doing work on school grounds and some even welcomed family members for some arts and crafts.

Middle schoolers and high schoolers capped the day with an energetic pep rally that saw school spirit soar and sent our Bulldog athletic teams into the weekend with plenty of momentum. 

“We're so proud of our students for the heart and enthusiasm they bring to this day each year," said Honeoye Superintendent Natalie Pfluke. "The Day of Caring truly reflects what makes our school community so special: students, staff, families, and community members coming together to give back and make a difference." 

Thank you to everyone who made our Day of Caring another huge win for not only the Honeoye students, but everyone in the community as well! We're so proud of all our students, who are eager to give back and help make Honeoye the great place that it is!

Good morning students, staff, families, and community,

Thank you to everyone who came out yesterday for our Community Homecoming Kick-Off. It was such a special day full of school spirit, laughter, and the kind of connections that make HCS feel like family.

I’m especially grateful to all the students, staff, and volunteers who put in the hard work behind the scenes. Because of you, the event was not just possible, but truly memorable.

A big congratulations as well to our Graduates of Distinction- Kathy Karle-Walsh, Grace Wood, and Chris Drake. Your stories remind us of what’s possible for every HCS student.

I can’t wait to keep the energy going as we celebrate the rest of Homecoming Week together.

With appreciation,
Natalie Pfluke
Superintendent


Chain of Contact

Posted Date: 9/15/25 (11:29 AM)

Dear Families,


As we work together to support our students, clear communication is essential. To help ensure that your questions and concerns are addressed as quickly and effectively as possible, we kindly ask that you follow the district’s Chain of Contact

This process helps connect you directly with the person most familiar with your child’s situation. In many cases, concerns can be resolved quickly at the classroom or building level. If further assistance is needed, the contact chain outlines the next steps and who to reach out to. 

The same applies to athletics and extracurricular activities. Coaches and club advisors are the first point of contact for questions or concerns related to practices, games, or team/club matters. If additional support is needed, the Athletic Director and then the building administrator can help.

We have included a copy of the Chain of Contact document for your reference. Please keep it handy and use it whenever you need assistance. By working together in this way, we can ensure smooth communication and the best outcomes for our students.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership.


We’re building our school’s Roadmap to 2030— add your voice!
