District Calendar Update

On April 24–25, 2026, the Dobbs Ferry District will host a regional NYS School Music Association festival that will be held at Sprinhurst Elementary. To prepare for the events on April 24, Springhurst students will be dismissed early. Please see our calendar page for additional details. 

District Cell Phone (Electronic Devices) Policy Information and Resources

Board Policy 5695 - Students and Personal Electronic Devices - prohibits the use of internet and non-internet enabled devices during the school day. This will require a significant change for families and students. Please review the policy, regulations, and resources for managing this change HERE. 

The Board of Education is seeking public comment on the REVISED Districtwide Safety Plan

The district has revised the plan to reflect the changes in NYS law related to incidents of cardiac arrest. Changes are noted in red font. Please review the plan, and if you wish to make a comment and/or ask questions, please contact us at policy@dfsd.org. The public comment period will close on Friday, September 26. 

Safe, Secure, and Welcoming Facilities! 

Safe, secure, and welcoming facilities are the foundation of our teaching and learning environment in the district. To accomplish this, our improvement work continues! For more information, please see our Facilities webpage at https://www.dfsd.org/Domain/226.

When students arrived at school on September 2, most of the work from our Phase 2 project was complete. We anticipate that all work will be complete by the end of September.
