So much energy in our schools on opening day! Dr. Bonk visited our buildings, where staff welcomed students back for 2026-27.

Congratulations to Juan Uribe, Gayhead ES Head Custodian: he’s the recipient of the Mid-Hudson School Study Council Award for Excellence in the Support Staff category!The various administrators who nominated him all agreed that there is no one more deserving of this award. He is a dedicated reliable employee, who performs his job with so much passion and energy, and attention to detail. But he’s also a kind, compassionate person who builds meaningful relationships with students. Gayhead administrators said, “He has become one of the heartbeats of our school community because he embraces every opportunity to bring joy to our students.” We're so fortunate to have Juan on our team!

Welcoming our newest teachers! “We are thrilled to have you on our team.” Dr. Bonk told them. “Thank for choosing us!” HR Executive Director Renee Harris remarked that a common thread emerged in all of her conversations with our new teachers: they are all here to make a true difference in children’s lives. Have a great first year!

School Supply Drive items have been delivered to Myers Corners, Sheafe Road, and Evans elementary schools, ready to be used for students who may need them throughout the year. We are so grateful to the Rotary Club of Wappingers Falls for their generosity!

Dear Wappingers CSD Learning Community,

Today, we welcomed back our instructional staff with much enthusiasm and excitement as we officially begin the 2026-27 school year! We look forward to the return of our over 10,000 students to our 15 schools next Tuesday, September 8.  

As of this writing, the vast majority of our summer work projects have been completed. We greatly appreciate the patience of our staff, students, and community as we work to improve our buildings and infrastructure. 

I remain very grateful to the staff who worked diligently over the summer to prepare for the 2026-27 school year, and am looking forward to a most productive and rewarding school year for ALL as we continue to work in partnership with our community to "Focus on Today and Plan for Tomorrow!"   

Best,
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.
