This week marked the start of many of our MS club meetings with students planning Spirit Week in Student Council and taking over the library for Minecraft Club.
Special thanks to the Philomathic Library for inviting our students to the book sale and encouraging their reading habits.






Students in Jazz Band worked to develop an original score during class time, negotiating octaves and measures to create a balanced sound.



AP Statistics students are starting 2 variable statistics with a Barbie Bungee Jump activity. Students will end the unit by going out to Tarbell Field and dropping their action figures from the top of the bleachers once they model their data and estimate how many rubber bands they need to keep "Barbie" safe.


A special thank you to our Trumansburg School Board Members! We appreciate your time and dedication!


Congratulations to Annona Carpenter, National Merit Scholarship Semi Finalist!


Today our MS Localvore students visited Daisy Hollow Farm to learn about raising and caring for livestock, and about all of the different products that can be made from them.





HS students in ceramics were working on a clay technique called sgraffito- scratching the color clay surface to decorate slab cylinders they had created.




Today our 7th graders had a perfect day for hiking and playing at Taughannock, and conducting experiments and collecting data on the floating classroom on Cayuga Lake. Meanwhile, who was suited up to keep the lunch line moving and recess safe? Mrs. Wright! She and the rest of our lunch/recess staff have a tough job, but it's a little nicer in this gorgeous weather.





HS Students finished a week of spirit and homecoming events last week

Please read the following Safety Message from TST BOCES regarding a non-credible threat - posted on September 26, 2025:
This morning, four (4) superintendents in Tompkins County at Lansing, Ithaca, Dryden and TST BOCES received an email threat indicating the possibility of a school shooting at an unspecified school in the county.
Each district immediately contacted and worked with its local law enforcement agency to determine appropriate next steps. After reviewing the information, law enforcement and school officials in Dryden determined that Dryden Central School District should implement a lock-out procedure. That lock-out has since been lifted.
Law enforcement agencies have deemed the threat non-credible. District leaders consistently stay in close communication with their law enforcement partners to ensure the safety and security of all students and staff, and this will continue.
The safety of our school communities is always our highest priority. We are grateful for the swift and coordinated response of our local law enforcement agencies, and for the cooperation of students, staff, and families throughout today’s events.

This week our MS students learned about Rosh Hashanah in their social studies classes and had fun eating apples and honey. A special thank you to everyone who pitched in to make a great BBQ fundraiser and Open House last night. We loved seeing you at school!
