Dear Parents, Guardians, and Staff,

We are looking forward to the first day of school on Wednesday, September 4, 2024 and we hope you are too!

I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you to our community for coming together to support our students. On Wednesday evening, dozens of students received free back-to-school haircuts at That Hair Place on Oswego Street. The event was organized by our Student Services Department as part of its annual school supply giveaway. 

Thank you to the amazing stylists/barbers who volunteered their time to give 67 haircuts to our Bees: Julia Rheinwald, Kristen Parsley, Yacenia Saban, Chianna Gambino, Cynthia Morgan, Katie Hoag, Christine Foster, Christopher Massaro and Mike Harris. Thank you to Terrie McNeil, owner of That Hair Place, for hosting this amazing event! 

Our staff has been working hard this summer to prepare for students to return to our classrooms. We are committed to working with our families to make this a successful school year for all students.

If you have any questions, please check out our Back to School Quick Reference Guide on our website. Please also check ParentSquare for communications from your child’s principal, important forms and information, and other announcements.

I believe it is going to be an exciting year and I can’t wait for it to start! I hope you enjoy the last weekend of summer break with loved ones and we’ll see you on Wednesday!

Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Go Bees! 

Sincerely,

Dr. Joseph M. DeBarbieri
Superintendent of Schools
