Since Stefan was a little boy, his dream has been to work at Pizza Hut. Well...his dream has come true. Stefan has been in the Work-Based Learning Program interning at the Pizza Hut in Fishkill for at least three years. He has come a very long way. In fact he has come so far that Pizza Hut hired him.

Due to the use of 6 snow days so far this school year, the Superintendent's Conference Day that was scheduled for Friday, April 23, 2010 has been cancelled.  Instead, Dutchess BOCES will follow a normal instructional schedule on this date.

School and offices are still currently scheduled to be closed Friday, May 28, 2010.

Thank you.
