The Dryden Central School District is an outstanding place to live and learn! Instruction and performance data are to be exemplary.

The Dryden Central School District is committed to the highest quality education while providing the safest, most productive academic environment. Children are prepared for their school years by the time they reach kindergarten and are prepared for success in college when they leave high school. A stable staff with high morale assumes continuity for students from year to year. Students know that all members of the district respect them, protect them, and show them, by example, that learning leads to a more fulfilling life. Funding for schools is sufficient without undue burden on local taxpayers. Facilities are safe, clean, and renovated on a scheduled and affordable basis.

Last week, our MS/HS staff threw a surprise "Mr. Engel Day" to celebrate HS Counselor and Varsity Boys Soccer Coach Mr. Laszlo Engel and his upcoming retirement. Words cannot express how much we love and appreciate Mr. Engel, so we cloned him a few times to try to get the message across! Thank you Mr. Engel for your years of service to our District, students, and community - you will be missed, and congratulations on your retirement! 💜

Last week, 7th graders in Agriculture class carved pumpkins to see how many plants one pumpkin could grow with all of its seeds! There were 20 pumpkins total across 3 classes and they counted over 8,000 seeds! The students are excited to try the seeds this week after roasting and seasoning them. What a fun and creative way to learn about plant science! !

In celebration of Kindness Week and National Unity Day, DES students came together to create a beautiful Unity Tree!

Each orange handprint represents a student’s commitment to kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Students wrote ways they can show kindness to others, reminding us that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference!

National Unity Day is a celebration that encourages us to stand together against bullying and promote a school community where everyone feels safe, valued, respected, and included.

Our Unity Tree is a wonderful reminder that when we all lend a hand, kindness grows! !
