More photos are still coming in from staff who took pictures of everything that went on this past week.

MMHS Graduation Congratulations

I want to extend a big congratulations to the graduates of the class of 2024 and everyone in the town of Mashpee who supported these students on their journey through the Mashpee Public Schools! This includes parents, teachers, coaches community members, the town of Mashpee, and anyone else who helped these young women and men reach this milestone in their lives! Thank you all for the support you give to Mashpee students every day.


Field Day is on Wednesday - Directions for Students!

1. Wear Mashpee Falcons Gear/Blue & White. 

2. Wear sneakers! Students cannot take their shoes off on the field, so Crocs and sandals are discouraged.

No Place for Hate Activity #3
I am proud to report that Quashnet is on pace to receive the designation as a No Place for Hate school through the ADL with the completion of our third and final activity this year. On Monday, June 3rd, a half day, students will complete activities with homerooms and their partner classes of another grade level. The focus of activity #3 is for students to recognize how they can make an impact to make school a better place by respecting differences.

Sixth Grade Visit to MMHS & Summer Reading

We are excited to see our 6th-grade students take the next step in their education and head to MMHS next school year. To support them with this transition, the entire grade will be visiting MMHS on June 11 for two hours in the afternoon. We'll arrive at MMHS at 12:30 to eat lunch, which will be followed by hearing from staff and getting a tour of the building.

Before the visit, students will be hearing from their current 6th-grade teachers about expectations for summer reading and will be provided with information. If you have any questions, please let us know.



Clubs Have Ended

This past week was the last week of session 2 clubs. Clubs have ended for the school year. All students should have dismissal plans for normal dismissal time at 3:35 for the remainder of the school year.




Lost & Found

The lost and found is hosting some impressive items right now. Please remind your child to ask their teacher to check the lost and found, if something has gone missing for them here at school in the last couple of months.
