It will be in-person at 9:15am.

Website Update and Feedback
Rye Neck Schools launched a new website in 2021 through Blackboard. In 2022, Blackboard was acquired by Finalsite, which will no longer support our website's template as of 2025. In the coming months, we will choose a new Finalsite template for a summer 2024 launch. Additionally, Rye Neck is in the process of updating its current app to include more student-specific information, such as your child's schedule, grades, and important documentation.
Mary Lanza and the Technology Planning Advisory Team created the 2023 Rye Neck Website Survey to gather feedback from the community that will guide decisions about our new website. The 2023 Rye Neck Website Survey is offered in three languages (English, Japanese, and Spanish); and it includes questions about our current website, the Rye Neck App, and our social media presence. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey by December 12, 2023.
Workshops for parents and caregivers from the RNUFSD and ESS:
Rye Neck Schools and Effective School Solutions (ESS) invite you to join us for a series of virtual and in-person parent-centered presentations on mental wellness throughout the year, starting with our inaugural workshops on December 13, 2023.
Caring for children can be rewarding while simultaneously emotionally and physically depleting. Building Capacity for Parents: Supporting Adults to Avoid Burnout and Enhance Well-Being will help the important adults in children's lives identify the signs of stress and caregiver fatigue; offer tangible strategies to build their capacity; and enhance their emotional and physical well-being.
There will be a virtual presentation at 10:00 AM for parents/caregivers of children in grades K-5 and another at 6:00 PM for parents/caregivers of children in grades 6-12. Parents and caregivers are welcome to attend the session that is most convenient to their schedules. While the workshops will present the same information, the age-specific examples will vary.
Please see the invitation for more information.
Please bring your candle to school by Friday, December 8th. 🕯️
Our Daniel Warren staff, parents/guardians and student body have a rich cultural heritage. In the spirit of tradition, we will once again celebrate by inviting each family to share their special holiday/winter traditions by writing about them on the large paper candle. Our candles “light” the halls of the Daniel Warren School, and provide an opportunity for us to welcome and learn about the diverse cultures of our DW community!
We look forward to learning more about your family traditions. ❤️ *Materials were sent home. If you need another candle or the directions, please reach out to your child's teacher or the main office.
Spotlight on Learning
First graders have been busy writing personal narratives but are now moving into realistic fiction! You can practice this with oral storytelling at home. Tell a story with a beginning, middle and end but add a "realistic problem and solution."
We love books!
Thank you to Kara Fox and Mary Pastorek and the PTSA for organizing a wonderful book fair. Thank you to Michelle Winski for organizing an evening activity where children made fun, silly bookmarks!
Early Dismissal
When picking up your child early, please notify the main office by phone or email in advance. Early dismissal should take place prior to 2:30. After 2:30, we ask that you to wait till the regular time since staff are assisting and preparing for student dismissal.
