On Thursday, October 10th, DCS will hold its annual early release drill. Once again, it will be coupled with an evacuation drill. The details are as follows:
At 2:00 pm, students will evacuate the building and proceed to the bus loop for attendance.
After attendance is taken, students will move to the bus garage to shelter in place.
At 2:15, walkers may be picked up by parents/guardians at the front door of the bus garage. Mrs. Odell will be there with students to release them.
After all walkers have been dismissed, bus riding students along with self-transport students, will depart directly from the bus garage.
Students may return to campus for normal after school activities (sports practice). There will be no after school program on this day.

ANTHRO 201 News: Mr. Morris’s anthropology students will be attending the Mdou Moctar concert in Woodstock on October 5th. The band hails from the country of Niger in West Africa in the Saharan Desert. They play fiery, Tuareg-style music. In class students will be researching cultural issues in that region from primary and secondary sources and posing possible solutions. Students will research the Tamasheq language, topics pertaining to Tuareg refugees, political autonomy, and environmental concerns. Their final task is a visual presentation. The concert will help students learn about Tuareg culture, develop students’ global perspective, promote empathy, intercultural awareness, and inspire students as they put together their final presentations.

Hi DCS community!
My name is Sierra Meres. I went to Downsville Central School and was part of the 2007 graduation class. After graduation, I went to TC3 and graduated with a Liberal Art General Studies degree. I have 2 kids, who also attend Downsville school and they both enjoy it as much I did. I am excited to be a part of the staff and watch my kids grow up in a community I grew up in.
