We are happy for Superintendent DeBoer but sad that she will be leaving us.  We are so grateful for all your years of hard work.  You have hard shoes to fill.

Enjoy your retirement, Superintendent DeBoer!

Dear Mashpee Community,

As you are all probably aware, a solar eclipse will be occurring this coming Monday, April 8, 2024. Given the path, Mashpee can expect about 93% of the sun to be covered by the moon.  Solar Eclipse glasses are being provided to all MPS students and staff and the importance/requirement to wear them when viewing the solar eclipse is being reinforced with our students.  The eclipse begins at 2:17 PM, reaches its maximum at 3:30 PM, and ends at 4:39 PM.  If there is a specific viewing plan in place for your child’s school, the principal will communicate it to you.  Please reinforce with your children the importance of wearing their glasses properly and for the whole time while viewing the eclipse.

Dear MPS Community, 

Thank you to Annawon Weeden for providing his “First Light Flashback” presentation to all of our MMHS students today (in two assemblies).  Mr. Weeden’s program included a dramatic enactment reflecting personal experience and Tribal history of the “People of the Dawn” from pre-European contact to the present day.  Annawon is from the Mashpee Wampanoag and Narragansett tribes, and has been awarded a Congressional Honor as Culture Bearer for the entire New England region for his continued efforts to correct misinformation and misrepresentation of Indigenous people.
