Greetings!
Summer is here and
we had a wonderful 2016-2017 school year.
The highlight of our end of year activities was the Class of 2017
graduation ceremony. We gave our best wishes to over 348 Barnstable High School
students. Our graduates are headed to outstanding colleges and universities,
service to their country, or directly to the workforce. We are extremely
honored that families have entrusted their children to Barnstable Public
Schools, and we are proud of the all that the Class of 2017 has accomplished.
Other exciting end
of year activities could not happen without the support of our community, and
partnership with our parents. Whether it is a huge endeavor such as the after
prom event, Celebration, or chaperoning during field trips and field days, our
students benefit from the efforts and commitment of parents and community
members. Thank you to all who support
our students!
While our students
enjoy their summer days, our teachers, principals, and staff will be preparing
for the 2017-2018 school year. We continue to enhance our curriculum,
incorporate technology with teaching and learning, and work on ways to support
social emotional learning for all students. In addition, the school calendar
for 2017-2018 includes additional early release days devoted to professional
learning and collaboration so that we may continue our tradition of educational
excellence.
On
behalf of Barnstable Public Schools we wish everyone a safe, sunny, and joyful
summer!
