The Sodus Central School District’s official Web Page is accessed from a BOCES Web Server. Our district has two Web Masters with rights to do the uploading. Therefore, all completed web pages must be saved on to a PC formatted disk and sent to the District Technology Coordinator. Your page will then be linked to the District’s Web Page and uploaded to the BOCES Web Server.

Web pages on the District's server are the property of the District. The web server will be examined periodically to check for the timeliness and relevance of its pages.

Links to non-district servers must contain a disclaimer indicating that the user is leaving the District server and that the linked material is not necessarily approved by the District. The Sodus Central School District retains the right to unlink any non-district Web Site at anytime without notification to the creator of that site.
