Today (Friday, November 13), the Dryden Middle School and High School building will dismiss at 11:00am due to an issue with gas pressure and boilers causing lack of heat in the building. We will communicate with families if events in district tomorrow need to be altered. Stay safe, #LionPride
Earlier this week, Mr. Bacigalupi joined Freeville Elementary’s morning meeting to talk about Veteran’s Day. He read a story to the students and answered questions about his time in the service. Here at Dryden, we are so thankful for all our veterans, including our very own Superintendent. #LionPride #ThankYouVeterans 💜

On Tuesday, November 24, the District will hold a Go Home Early Drill as mandated by NYS legislation.
Dismissal will be 15 minutes earlier than normal. This means that you will need to pick up your child from school 15 minutes earlier than normal, and if they ride the bus this means that they will be dropped off 15 minutes earlier than normal.
Before and After School Child Care Programs housed in District buildings will be open. Athletes should check in with their individual coaches to determine their plan for after school. All other students PK-12 need to leave the building at dismissal. Let's plan ahead for a successful drill! #LionPride

DES is roaring about Ms. Mincer's music classes honoring veterans by learning about the word armistice, reading books with patriotic songs, and creating rhythms using words that acknowledge veterans such as sacrifice, dignity, defend, and pride.

Reminder that high school picture retakes will be on Friday, November 20 from 8am-12pm.
Throughout November, a group of Dryden staff members are taking part in the Movember campaign to raise awareness and vital funds for men's mental health. 👨
While growing a mustache is a visible and fun sign of participation, it represents something much deeper: the daily practices and habits needed to maintain physical and mental health. Specifically, Movember focuses on breaking down the stigma surrounding mental illness, anxiety, and depression in men.
If you're able to support the cause, you can donate directly to the team's campaign at https://us.movember.com/donate/details?memberId=15300345#amount
Thank you for helping us support fostering healthy habits and encouraging open conversation about mental health! #LionPride #Movember
