Dear RCSD Community,
A reminder that there is no school next Friday, May 23. This is the second (and final) of our two giveback snow/emergency days. Hopefully, this will make for a nice, extended Memorial Day weekend for you and yours!
Budget Vote and Election is this Tuesday!
Please, please mark your calendars to come out and vote this Tuesday in the 2025-2026 school district budget and Board of Education election. I will be sending you lots of reminders, for which I apologize in advance. We truly do need everyone to vote on Tuesday. In Rye, this is traditionally a super low voter turnout event - every vote really does count! Please grab a friend, bring your children (free civics lesson), and head to the polls! They are open from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the RMS Gym.
Dear RCSD Community,
Busy season is officially here (accompanied this year by extreme rain and a resultant pollen explosion).

What this means for you is that you can come into the office at 555 Theodore Fremd, Suite B101, fill out an application form, and get a ballot right away. Similarly, you can fill out an application and mail it in, and the ballot will be mailed directly to your home. The link is here.
Dear RCSD Community,
I hope everyone had a restful and enjoyable spring recess. It seems that while we were on break, spring actually showed up. We are now into the fourth and final quarter of the school year, also known as “busy season.” Last night was the Senior Arts Awards, which kicked off our senior class celebrations. It was also the Rye Youth Council’s Spring Soiree. I was incredibly flattered to be the honoree, but in my opinion, the true honors should go to my colleagues in our five schools who spend every day working to make sure our students are supported so they can be their best socially and emotionally.
