School-community partnership
The Duanesburg Central School District realizes
that education is not an isolated activity allotted solely to the
school during school hours. To that end, the district has developed
a powerful network of school-community partnerships that are jointly
dedicated to providing the best education possible to all members of
the community. Some of these committees and organizations are:
- >
Continuing Education – Providing
extensive course offerings to adults for both the fall and spring
semesters.
- >
Duanesburg Education Foundation - The
foundation raises and collects funds to help support students and
academic programs in Duanesburg.
- >
Duanesburg Day - A community-wide
celebration designed to develop awareness and pride in the area's
local history, heritage and culture.
- >
Parent Teacher Student Organization (PTSO)
- Supporting various activities and scholarship programs.
- >
Site Based Teams - Parents,
administrators, teachers, staff and students dedicated to improving
the overall academic program.
- >
Booster Club - Supporting the
district's after-school athletic program.
- >
Proctor's Theatre - Since
2009, the district has benefited from an arts-in-education grant
from Proctor's Theatre, which affords students districtwide the
opportunity to attend live performances, educational programs and
films as well as an in-depth residency program.
- >
Auditorium Committee -
In 2008, a grassroots group of parents and
teachers formed a committee in an effort to begin raising money to
fund an architectural study and auditorium building project within
the Duanesburg Central School
District.
