Day Two of the Public Safety, Law and Military Career Academy. A big thank you to our partners at the Dryden Fire Department, Dryden Police Department, and Dryden Ambulance for giving up their time this morning to meet with students from George Junior, Groton, and Dryden. #LionPride!
District Safety Personnel Rob Reyngoudt and Dryden HS Nurse Travis Berggren recently provided District leadership with a Stop the Bleed training, and Stop the Bleed kits will be present in each school building.
As we prepare for another amazing year, we are continuously guided by a commitment to creating a safe, joyful and nurturing environment which promotes learning and growth.
A special shoutout to Travis's daughter for being an excellent tourniquet model! #LionPride!

DCSD Update: All schools in the Dryden Central School District will dismiss on time today despite the Regents Exams schedule being altered. The 3:00 Shuttle Bus will be available to those students who are taking a Regents Exam and have not finished at the time of MS/HS Dismissal Time. In addition, this exam schedule change will have no impact on PK-5 dismissal. Students in grades PK-5 will dismiss at the normal time as well. Please take care of yourself. Take care of each other. Always...#LionPride!
