Today is SRP Day! We honor the incredible School-Related Professionals who make our schools function effectively every single day. From early morning bus runs to after-school cleanup, these professionals are essential to our #LionPride! Whether bandaging scraped knees, serving nutritious meals, maintaining safe buildings and supporting our classrooms - our SRPs truly Rise to the Challenge!

We're partnering with Cops, Kids, and Toys to help local families have a brighter holiday season. Cops, Kids, and Toys is a program that began in the early 1980’s to help families throughout Tompkins County who were unable to provide holiday gifts for their children.

We will be collecting donations of unwrapped new toys or money through Tuesday, December 2nd.

If you’d like to make a monetary donation, checks payable to Cops, Kids, and Toys or cash may be sent in.

Drop-Off locations:
Middle/High School and Dryden Elementary School.
(Donations can also be made at FES and CES - we'll pick donations up and deliver them to CKT)

Lion Reminder:

Saturday, November 8, 2025 is a #LionPride Day all the way around the MS/HS Campus. As we prepare for the MS Musical: “The Wizard of Oz” to hit the stage at 11:00 AM (You can also catch "The Wizard of Oz" on 11/7 at 7:00 PM) and our Dryden Lions prepare to participate in their sectional semi-final football game, which is being held at Dryden beginning at 1:00 PM, please see the maps regarding parking and shuttles this Saturday for these two events. We have plenty of parking for both events, especially given that the events are offset of each other.

In addition, the District has added two shuttle bus runs to support Saturday's events,  as well as give people another option as it relates to parking this weekend for events at the MS/HS. The District will operate two shuttle bus runs between DES and the MS/HS from approximately 10 AM-4PM at approximately 15 minute intervals. The DES shuttle bus stop is located at the front entrance of DES facing Union Street and the MS/HS Shuttle Stop is located just outside the normal MS/HS drop off location by the Auditorium.

We are so excited to show support for our #LionPride this weekend!

Muscle Woman Visits Third Grade!

In Mrs. Preston and Mrs. Frailey’s third-grade class, students are learning all about the systems of the human body! To introduce the muscular system, Mrs. Preston transformed into her alter ego — Muscle Woman!

Students made connections between the skeletal and muscular systems, discovering how their bodies move and grow.

A big thank-you to our amazing teachers for making learning interactive, engaging, and meaningful for our students! 💜🦁
