Wolf Pack Brand

This year, we've rebranded as the Colonie Wolf Pack, embracing our new identity with a focus on unity and pride. Through our branding work, we aim to create a strong, cohesive message that reflects the spirit and values of our district.

Social Media Channels

You can also follow us across our communication platforms, including ParentSquare for district-wide messages, social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok), and our district website, where we share the latest stories and highlight the vibrant life within our schools. Be sure to stay connected and run with the pack!

 

 

Please note that we no longer distribute hard copies of flyers to students via backpacks. Organizations interested in sharing messages with our school community can now do so electronically through the Blast. Beginning in January the Blast will be sent out the first and third Friday of each month, except during weeks when school is not in session. Summer editions are sent based on content availability.

 

Community Guidelines
Any organization wishing to send out information electronically should email it to communications@scolonie.org by Wednesday of the week they would like it to run. The information must be packaged and ready for use.

We are unable to accommodate multiple-week requests. If you wish to have your announcement run for numerous weeks, you must resubmit the information by Wednesday of each week you would like the information to run. Please note communications will be limited to no more than two times within a 30-day period.

Athletic-related requests are handled by the Athletic Department and should be sent directly to the Athletic Director, Bill Roemer, at roemerw@scolonie.org.
