Bay Shore Students Kick Off 2016-17 School Year

Students in the Bay Shore School District kicked off the 2016-2017 school year with the first day of school on Wednesday.

From the Universal Pre-K classrooms through Bay Shore High School, there were smiles all around. Students settled in to their classrooms, learned how to use their lockers, met their teachers and started learning.

According to Superintendent Joseph Bond, this year the district will begin working on the dedicated Universal Pre-Kindergarten facility at the Armory, continuing the laptop pilot program in the High School Humanities program and expanding our Family Engagement program for English-learner families.

"Our students are achieving at amazing levels, a direct result of the outstanding teachers, staff and administrators we have working in our buildings, and our dedicated Board of Education," Bond said. "We look forward to watching that continue this year."
