Welcome to the homepage for the Donald P. Sutherland School. The Donald P. Sutherland School "D.P.S." is one of five elementary schools in the East Greenbush Central School District. DPS is located in the village of Nassau. Currently, our school has an enrollment of 320 students in grades Kindergarten through Five.
I have been the principal of DPS for the last three years and enjoy being a part of the school community. Our students continue to excel on the NYS Assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies as well as strive to be "Kids with Character".
Take the opportunity to explore our school website to find out more about DPS! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the school.
Random Acts of Kindness (RAK)
The students of the Donald P. Sutherland School are recognized on a daily basis for the positive acts of kindness they exhibit. Staff members recognize students when they exhibit a random act of kindness towards another person. Staff members document these on a certificate. During morning announcements, we recognize the students and place their certificate on our Random Act of Kindness Tree that is located in our cafeteria. Last year, we set a goal of achieving 1,300 RAK. Our students were recognized for being kind over 2,000 times! For reaching our goal, we planted a Flowering Pear tree at the Village of Nassau Commons. On Arbor Day, We had a school-wide walking field trip to the commons. For the 2008-2009 school year we have established a new goal for our students to achieve: 1,500 Random Acts of Kindness prior to Arbor Day 2009!
