Representatives from each of Dryden Early College Academy’s partner schools will attend Cardinal Day to speak to students about post-secondary education opportunities. The 2021-2022 school year’s yearbook will be available for pickup, and previous year’s yearbooks will be sold for $20 each. Chromebooks can be signed out for the school year with the opportunity to purchase device insurance.

Students can pick up their schedules, greet their teachers, and get their school photos taken. Please join us for Cardinal Day on Tuesday, August 16 from 4:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m. The janitorial staff has been busy all summer doing a deep clean of the building, and the gym floor has been painted and refinished. We are excitedly preparing to welcome you back to school on August 22, the first day of school and a full day for students.

Please reach out to us if we can help you or your family in any way. The school year calendar can be found at the bottom of this newsletter. There will be no school on August 26, September 2, or September 5. The first day of school is Monday, August 22. We can't wait to see you later this month. What would you add to our Dryden Family rules? Feel free to share your additions with us! We show persistence in life and school, and we continue trying even when it's not easy. We tell the truth and listen to everyone's ideas without judgment. We treat each other the way we would like to be treated and always assume the best intentions. Life isn't always easy, perfect, or exactly as we anticipate, but it is precious. We set goals for ourselves and work to achieve them. I wondered what would be written on our Family Rules plaque. Our Dryden Schools community is, above all else, a family. They were sometimes funny, sometimes religious, sometimes sarcastic, but mainly heartfelt and sincere. We are excited to welcome you to the start of a new school year.Īs I was out and about this summer, I noticed framed prints, plaques, coffee mugs, chalkboards, dishware, wall decals, and even shower curtains titled 'Family Rules' or 'In This Family, We.' that listed attitude and behavior expectations at almost every grocery, home goods, department, or hardware store I visited. I hope your summer has been filled with sunshine, laughter, and happy memories.
