Hampton Bays School District Embraces Social Media

HAMPTON BAYS, NY— With the new school year commencing, the Hampton Bays School District has kicked off new social media campaign based on the phrase #engageHB.

The “Living School Report Card” aims to "highlight the district’s engagement in student achievement while celebrating the Hampton Bays community’s dedication to the leaders of tomorrow," a release said.

Over the past several years, the district has made an effort to enhance student learning by captivating curiosity through engaging activities, the release said; the learning opportunities have been made possible through a partnership with the community and education professionals.

“Through strong connections with the community, students are obtaining skills and experiences that ensure they will be successful and productive members of the global society. The living school report card is a way for all of us — educators, parents, students, the community — to be engaged together in capturing the great student successes that happen every day,” said Superintendent of Schools Lars Clemensen.

Looking ahead, the district will be spotlighting those relationships by sharing them on social media along with the hashtag #engageHB. Community members and students are encouraged to do the same, the release said.
