On Tuesday, August 23 students from this year's 6th grade class visited the middle school where they located the lockers they will use next year as well as practiced working the combinations on their locks. At the same time athletes arrived on campus to begin practice for fall sports. This annual tradition signaled the end of summer and the rapidly approaching 2011-2012 school year.
When the rest of the Duanesburg middle school students arrive on the first day of school, Thursday, September 8, they will find a few new changes:
- The Middle School Main Office has moved! You can find Mrs. Longo and me in the former Guidance Office Suite across from the Nurse's Office. We are excited about our new office and look forward to being located in the middle school section of the building.
- Middle School teacher Mrs. Molyneaux has accepted a position in the Elementary School. We wish her the best of luck.
- We welcome Ms. Lisa DiBella as our new 6th grade teacher. Ms. DiBella will be teaching ELA 6 and science and will be located in Room 305. Look for her bio in the September 2011 Back-to-School newsletter that was mailed to all residents in late August or visit the district website, http://www.duanesburg.org/ to view it online
We are excited about the upcoming year and the challenges we will face together. If you have questions or concerns please call or email me.
