The 2025-2026 school year is underway - as evidenced by the hundreds of bicycles parked (and strewn) outside of Harrison Middle School. Yarmouth Elementary School also had well over 100 bicycles and scooters parked around the building each day this week - and even Rowe School and the High School had a fair number of students arriving on foot or pedals. It's awesome to see so many students taking advantage of the well-developed paths throughout town. We'll keep working to encourage safe practices for these students - and anyone operating a car in the area.
Just over 1600 students arrived at our schools on Tuesday, September 2, along with nearly 40 new staff members, including teachers, custodians, bus drivers, school nutrition workers, and educational technicians. We say "welcome" to everyone as we embark on another year of empowering all students!
