A Message from the Superintendent
July 10, 2025
Dear Wappingers CSD Community,
As always, I would like to thank our community for their continued support of our students, staff, and District. As we move into the summer months, I will continue to work tirelessly to support our students; I traveled to Washington DC this week to advocate for much-needed funding for our schools.
District and building administration will be available during the course of the summer, and we will have nearly 1,300 students participating in extended school year programs and other learning activities. In addition, we will be preparing for the opening of the 2025-2026 school year: schools will reopen on Thursday, September 4. If you have any specific questions, please do not hesitate to contact the appropriate building and/or district administrator. We wish all a very productive, safe, and healthy summer!

We hope our families have a wonderful summer, and enjoy the well-deserved break! Check back here for updates.
Please Note:
We look forward to welcoming our new 7th and 9th graders! The schools will be in contact with their families over the summer with more details.
