Notes and Reminders
🌼Volunteer during Recess in our Peace Garden! 🌼
The Daniel Warren Recess Garden Program starts Tuesday, May 14th and will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays through the end of the school year.
Tuesdays: On Tuesdays, we will be running our kitchen garden program. This is an opportunity to learn more about the kitchen garden, prepare it for growing as well as do some actual growing. The ultimate goal is to teach the students the process of growing their own food and at the end of the school year they will be able to taste their hard work. There will be a tasting event the last week of school for all of the students to participate in… if our garden is fruitful.
Learn more and sign up here: Tuesday Kitchen Garden Sign Up
Thursdays: There is also a separate sign up for our Thursday recess program which will be run very similar to years past. This is an opportunity for parents to come to recess and do some flower plantings, arts and crafts, scavenger hunts, storytime or another garden related activity. The garden activity idea will be initiated by the volunteers and any material needed will have to be supplied. If there are items needed at the school already we are able to use them. We will need two volunteers for each Thursday.

We look forward to “growing” the garden with you.

2024-25 School Year Class Placements
During the month of May, we will begin the process of class placement for next year. We take great care in this process to ensure that each class is well balanced. Our goal is to provide your child with the best possible academic, social, and emotional environment to promote an optimal learning experience.
The teachers and I meet for many sessions, as we compose classes. We know your children well, their friendships, and the teaching styles of our faculty. When constructing a classroom, we look at many different factors including learning abilities, peer relationships, class size, strengths, challenges, diversity, as well as other factors, to create classrooms that foster social and academic development for all children. As in the past, all classes will be heterogeneous, meaning they will reflect various abilities.
As in the past, we only accept feedback regarding a specific teacher if a sibling has had that teacher in the past. Please understand that you cannot request specific teachers, as it would be inequitable. If there is information you would like us to consider, please complete this form no later than May 10th. We value the importance of this process, and work very thoughtfully to compose our classes each year.
If your child will not be returning to Rye Neck Schools in September, please notify Deb Hutchinson, dhutchinson@ryeneck.org, if you have not already done so.
Please use THIS Form to provide input as we conduct class placements for the
2024-25 School Year.
DW Fields After School
Please supervise your children after school on the DW playground. The field is reserved for modified sports. Our Director of Athletics, Joe Ceglia, has requested that children do not play on the fields (even behind the goal nets) since the lacrosse balls can be dangerous. In addition, children should not be climbing the rock ledges in the far back. It is unsafe and unsupervised. Thank you for your cooperation.
Save the Date!
DEI Movie Nights are aimed to empower students with critical thinking, social-emotional learning and empathy building that further strengthens our own diverse community. Join us at this year's OUTDOOR community movie!
