Facility Use Requests

Thank you for your interest in our Facilities. The Ogdensburg City School District welcomes the use of its facilities by members of the surrounding community for activities when such use does not interfere with the school program or school-sponsored activities.

Please keep in mind that the district has an established fee schedule for facility use. Any organization using district facilities must meet insurance requirements and have a current Certificate of Insurance on file with the district. If you would like information about which space might be the most suitable for your use or have other questions, please call the district office at (315) 393-0900.

Following receipt of the Certificate of Insurance and review of availability, a confirmation will be emailed to the address provided when you created your account. If you need to make a change once your reservation has been submitted and/or confirmed, please call the District Office.
