Monday was Universal Pre-K and Kindergarten Roundup at Delaware Academy Elementary School. Our youngest Bulldogs came with their families to meet their teachers and classmates. What a fun morning!
It was Orientation tonight for 9th Graders and their families! Staff greeted the new high schoolers, who received their schedules and locker assignments, learned about pathways to graduation and extracurricular opportunities, and had the opportunity to find their new high school classrooms. Great job, everybody!
Delaware Academy officially welcomed new teachers and staff to the Bulldog family today, with a day-long orientation session. The group took part in a number of activities and experiences, including a school bus ride around the district! Later, teachers enjoyed lunch with their teacher mentor– an experienced DA teacher who can provide additional support and guidance to their new peers. This enthusiastic group is looking forward to the start of school next week!
Delaware Academy is once again the site of training for corrections officers from Delaware, Otsego and Sullivan Counties. The summer Delaware County Law Enforcement Academy is one of the ways that the school is serving the greater community, while also enhancing school security through greater familiarity with the campus among area law enforcement agencies.
Okay, 6th Graders– mark your calendars!
September menus for the High School/Middle School and the Elementary School are here! Monthly menus will always be available on the school website, along with a downloadable version.

Here's an opportunity to meet with our Special Education Director in a comfortable, informal setting. And there's cookies!
To all our new 9th graders– don't forget the orientation next Tuesday!
There was a productive discussion at Thursday night’s special board of education meeting. We’d like to thank the community for their interest and input.

Exciting work is underway this week on the front steps at the Delaware Academy high school building. Workers are repairing and refurbishing the stairway, replacing steps, and adding lighted handrails for increased stability and safety. The project will be completed in September.
The judges loved the Delaware Academy FFA project and display, and you will too! It's Delaware County Fair week, and many of our students are demonstrating their abilities in a variety of ways, including FFA, 4-H and open shows and competitions. Visit the fair, and watch for their achievements!
