Today is Maintenance Worker Appreciation Day - thank you to all of our wonderful maintenance workers and custodians who work hard to keep our buildings running smoothly!
This afternoon NYS Governor Hochul officially lifted the mask-mandate in schools starting on Wednesday, March 2nd. Although the mandate will be lifted starting Wednesday, March 2nd, individuals who choose to may continue to wear a mask.
This updated regulation also holds true for students/staff/faculty traveling on our school buses, and for those who are participating in extracurricular activities.
Thank you again for all of your continued support of our district, students, and staff. We look forward to seeing smiling faces in our buildings in the days and weeks to come.
Dover Middle School is still collecting any gently worn, used, or new shoes (boots, slippers, cleats, dance shoes, etc.) until MARCH 18th to send worldwide to support communities in poverty. Please bring any shoes to the MS main office or to Mrs. Nash's room (1093).

Thank you so much to everyone who supported our BE THE GOOD t-shirt sale! Because of your support, as well as donations from Renny's and Fresco 22, we were able to donate $1591 to Maria Ferrari's children's hospital in Poughkeepsie!
February is Random Acts of Kindness month. In honor of this, we would like for everyone to wear their BE THE GOOD t-shirt tomorrow, February 1st.
On behalf of the Dover community, we are so proud to be presenting Maria Ferrari Children's Hospital in Poughkeepsie with a check for $1591.00!
This would not have been possible without the generous donations from Renny's, Fresco 22 and the many members of the community who supported our BE THE GOOD t-shirt sales.
We look forward to making another donation to the children's hospital after the Spring Fest Color Run in May (more details to come!).

Good Day Dover School Community,
We will return to in-person instruction for all students K-12 starting on Thursday, January 6th. A few reminders; if your child is not feeling well or has any covid-like symptoms, please do not send the student to school and contact your child’s school. We are distributing the home test-kits until 6:30 tonight in front of the high school main entrance. Reminder, you can pick up one kit per enrolled student.
If your child tests positive for COVID or is symptomatic, please email the nurses at covidreporting@doverschools.org. Please include your child's full name, grade, and date of symptoms or positive test.

Due to the staffing-impact the pandemic has had on our operations and system, we will need to be remote for grades 3-12 on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Wingdale Elementary School, grades K-2, will be LIVE and in-person all week.
The plan is to assess and determine if we can resume in-person instruction for grades 3-12 starting Thursday. We will communicate by Wednesday any updates and/or important information to be aware of.
All staff/faculty check school email for additional information. Please be safe, communicate with your teachers, and get back with any questions. Thank you.
We are looking forward to welcoming students and staff back on Monday 1/3! Have a happy and healthy new year!
We hope you are having a nice holiday break. Please make sure your devices are charged up for school on Monday, January 3rd. As always, we are working closely with our local Department of Health regarding any updates or changes in guidance. Enjoy the long weekend and have a healthy, successful, and wonderful new year! Any questions get back to us.
Thank you and all the best.
