See Something? Say Something

The safety of our students and staff will always be our top priority: we'd like to remind staff, students, and families about our Anonymous Alerts app. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us anytime if you have any concerns, and "if you see something, say something." Please visit our Report an Incident or Concern page for more information.  

Capital Improvements: Updates

In May of 2025, voters approved a long-term Capital Improvement project,  which will enhance our buildings and improve the student experience. Work on Phase 1 has begun at a variety of sites across the district, and we look forward to keeping the community informed on the progress! View our web page here; we will be updating it during the summer and beyond.

Celebrating our Wappingers Rotary Club Students of the Month!

At their Open House earlier this month, Van Wyck JHS hosted their Second Annual Community Resource Fair, with a wide variety of organizations on hand to provide information and support for families—truly showcases the value of community partnerships!

Two group photos show young children and adults standing in front of a red fire truck.

Today, Fishkill ES Pre-K and Kindergarten students had a special visit from Protection Engine Company #1, in the Village of Fishkill. They learned all about the trucks, and how the firefighters use the tools within them when they respond to an emergency. We are so thankful for their dedicated service to the community!

October 16, 2026
Dear WCSD Community,
The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority. Today, I sent a letter to our state and federal government representatives, requesting that federal and/or state funding be made available immediately to support the health, welfare and safety of our students. This funding could help the District provide a School Resource Officer in each of our buildings, and enhance our mental health services.  Please see the full letter here, and my remarks at the October 19 Board of Education meeting.

As always, thank you for your continued support of our District.

Sincerely, 
Dr. Dwight Bonk
Superintendent of Schools

Project-Based Learning

Real-World Problems, Real-Life Solutions

In PBL projects, our students take an active role in the process: they ask questions, develop designs, and see their projects come to life.  Partnerships inside and outside our schools take learning to new levels.
