🎉 Please join us in congratulating Ms. Kendra Shedina, who Superintendent Kimberly Ross will recommend for appointment as DCS’ next Assistant Superintendent for Support Services & Curriculum at the November 4 Board of Education meeting.

A familiar and valued member of our Duanesburg family, Kendra has spent nearly a decade at DCS, serving as a high school English teacher for seven years before stepping into her current role as Dean of Students at Duanesburg Jr.-Sr. High School. Throughout her time here, she has built meaningful relationships with students, families, and colleagues and demonstrated a genuine passion for helping every student succeed.

In her new role, Ms. Shedina will oversee Special Education and student support services while leading curriculum, instruction, intervention, school improvement initiatives, and DCS’ ongoing implementation of the Portrait of a Graduate.

Sweethearts and Heroes has kicked off a year-long residency at Duanesburg Jr.-Sr. High School, with presenter Josiah "Jo" McKeon making weekly visits to strengthen school community, combat hopelessness, and inspire action among students, with work focusing primarily on students in grades 6–8.

Building on last year's introductory assembly with Sweethearts and Heroes founder Tom Murphy and co-founder Rick Yarosh, McKeon is working closely with principal Jodi Marvin to implement student empowerment curricula and lead weekly "SMART Circles," structured talking groups designed to build empathy, trust, and peer leadership skills during critical middle school years.

🎃🎨 Third-grade artists in Mrs. Chovan’s art class recently created decorative paper mache pumpkins inspired by the work of contemporary Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama. Each student used their imagination and creativity to design a one-of-a-kind pumpkin that reflected their individual style. What a fun and creative way to explore art history while celebrating the fall season!

🔥 In honor of Fire Prevention Week, our friends from the Duanesburg Volunteer Fire Company spent the morning at DES to give our PK-5 students some safety tips!

Fire safety starts at home! Take a few minutes as a family to review these important tips with your children:

🏠 Make a Fire Escape Plan: Choose two ways out of every room when possible, and pick a safe meeting place outside.

🚨 Practice Your Escape Plan: Have a family fire drill and practice getting outside quickly. Remember: Get Out, Stay Out! Never go back inside for toys, pets, or belongings.

🧯 Know Your Smoke Alarms: Make sure smoke alarms are working and located throughout your home. Test them regularly and replace batteries as recommended.

🚪 Feel Before You Open: If a door feels warm, don't open it. Use another way out.

⬇️ Stay Low in Smoke: If you encounter smoke, stay low and crawl toward an exit.

🔥 Stop, Drop & Roll: If clothing catches fire, stop where you are, drop to the ground, cover your face, and roll until the flames are out.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Talk About 911: Make sure children know how to call 911 and tell the dispatcher their name, address, and what happened.

💡 Remember: Kids should never play with matches, lighters, candles, or other fire sources. Adults should keep these items safely out of children's reach.

Take a few minutes tonight to talk, plan, and practice. A little preparation can make a big difference!
