Awesome shot of Taylor, one of our WCSD Unified Team athletes, at a recent Bocce competition! Thank you to RCK teacher Ms. Cachon for sharing this great photo.

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!

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!

About Us

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. 

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.
