From Slate Valley's Athletic Director: "The Winter Sports season will begin the week of December 2nd. Please be sure to register your child on Form ReLeaf, and make sure they have an updated physical (within 2 years) on file with your child's school nurse.
Game schedules will be available soon. Adjustments are still being made at all levels, so rather than posting something that will be changed, we will do so as they get locked in."
*Sports for the high school (grades 9-12) will start on Monday Dec.2.
(Weekly schedule will be posted to the Athletics webpage)
*Basketball for middle school teams will begin on Dec 3. Practices will be held at Fair Haven Grade School.
(Weekly schedule will be posted to the Athletics webpage)
*Basketball for grades 5/6 will begin on Dec 4. Practices will be held at Castleton Elementary School.
(Weekly schedule will be posted to the Athletics webpage)

Have Suggestions or Questions about the FY26 Budget? We’d Love to Hear from You! Middle School students have crafted suggestion boxes now placed at town halls in Benson, West Haven, Hubbardton, and Fair Haven, as well as at the Castleton and Orwell Free Libraries. Share your thoughts, and we’ll review submissions weekly, with responses posted publicly. You can also submit your ideas or questions online at https://bit.ly/FY26Suggestions.


TONIGHT: Please join us for the last IN PERSON FY26 Budget Forum - 6:30 PM at the Fair Haven Grade School library. We look forward to seeing you there!
