DEAR QUASHNET SCHOOL COMMUNITY,
     School Year 2013-2014 is now behind us.  Thank you to our wonderful scholars for working so hard each and every day.  They have grown academically, socially, emotionally, and, of course, physically.  Thank you to our families for the support you have provided to our students, our staff, and our school.  Thank you to the Quashnet School staff for your dedication, professionalism, intelligence, and skills.  Thank you to the Mashpee community for making the education of the children of Mashpee a priority.  Providing each child of Mashpee with the best education possible is in the forefront of all of our decision-making.  THANK YOU FOR AN OUTSTANDING YEAR!

• Reconfiguration of parking lot, entrances and exits, and the looping road
• Replacement of gymnasium bleachers
