What a wonderful first week of school!

Here are some pictures of the first week fun!

NYS has enacted a new law that requires schools to give communities notification about when SAFETY DRILLS will be happening. This is being done in an effort to mitigate potential anxiety for learners, parents and caregivers. Though schools may not release the exact time and/or nature of the drill, they can give a window of time for the drill. Such announcements will be made here in the DW Weekly.

As part of our commitment to ensuring the safety and preparedness of our students and staff, we will be conducting a safety drill next week. The purpose of this drill is to ensure that everyone is familiar with our emergency procedures for an evacuation and can respond quickly and effectively in the event of an actual emergency. We ensure all communication to our young learners is developmentally appropriate. Following the drill, we'll let you know that it took place so that you are aware should your child mention anything to you.

Details of the Drill:

• Type of Drill: Fire Drill

• Time Frame: Within the next school week

Save the date! Hope to see you there.

1. All walkers must use a crosswalk. Safety is a priority and using the designated paths reduces the possibility of a driver not seeing you.
2. Please do not block the patio stairs.
3. Drivers must drive slowly, stay alert, and remain in line. When you have your child you can carefully drive around line to exit driveway.
4. Drivers remain in the vehicle and continue to pull down the driveway as we deliver students to you. We aim to keep the line moving as quickly and safely as possible.
5. If you have children in multiple grades at Daniel Warren, we recommend that you arrive in the car line at the time of the older student. We cannot dismissal our second graders until the end of period 8. If you come earlier, you'll need to return to the car line following the first pick up.
6. Please be sure to complete your Dismissal Plan form that your child's classroom teacher will send home and return it to school promptly.

Dear families,

Welcome to the 2024/25 school year. As part of the District Strategic Plan Goal of Strengthening Connections through enhancing the social and emotional care of students, we want to share with you that the Rye Neck Middle School and High School will be conducting social-emotional screenings for students each fall and spring. These screenings are part of our commitment to supporting the overall well-being of all Rye Neck community members.

In the coming weeks, you will receive further details about the schedule of the screenings, options for participation, confidentiality, and content. Please keep an eye out for more information via email, links in principal updates, and on the new Rye Neck website under the Special Services Department link.

See you in the coming year!
