Happy Memorial Day!

Today we honor those who served and died. A national pause occurs at 3pm local time for one minute of silence.

Thank you to those families who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our Country.

Congratulations, Ms. Feinberg!

Donlin Drive Elementary School Guidance Counselor Joelle Feinberg has been recognized by the American School Counselor Association after the school’s counseling program received the prestigious Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP) designation.

The RAMP designation honors schools committed to delivering exemplary school counseling programs aligned with the ASCA National Model, a framework focused on data-informed student support and success. Research shows that fully implemented school counseling programs contribute to positive academic, social and behavioral outcomes for students.

Feinberg spent 15 months preparing the application for the designation.
“It means so much to me,” Feinberg said. “It helps me understand if I am doing what I need to do each day to help our students.”

“This is an incredible honor that reflects not only on Joelle’s hard work and leadership, but also the strength of our entire district’s commitment to supporting students academically, socially and emotionally,” said DDE Principal Christine Wood.

Feinberg and DDE will be honored during a recognition ceremony at ASCA’s Annual Conference in New Orleans on July 13.

This year, 208 schools in 34 states received the designation, with only two schools in New York State earning the honor.
