EES Families,


We hope you are soaking up the last days of summer! We know the start of a new school year can be both exciting and anxiety provoking. Here are some tips to help your family adjust back into the routine and check out our Nauset Back to School Page. Below you'll also find a few community activities & programs. If you'd like to participate in the Cape Kid Meals Program, please contact Ashley Vasques by email at vasquesa@nausetschools.org. This information is kept confidential and is an amazing resource for Cape families.


I also wanted to share a bit more about me - please share with your kids, too!

  • Kids can call me Ms. or Mrs. Falk (it sounds like β€œfall” + β€œk”).

  • I was raised in Barnstable and now live there with my family - my husband and our two kids. James is starting 6th grade and Abby is starting 2nd grade.

  • I love to get outside and move - biking, running, swimming, walking. I am participating in the Hyannis triathlon in a few weeks. I am not the fastest, but enjoy the challenge!

  • I don’t currently have any pets, but my daughter is making a strong argument for us to get a dog when she’s a little older.

  • This summer we traveled to Italy. We enjoyed the architecture, history, and delicious food - lots of pasta, pizza, and gelato! Here’s a picture of us at the Colosseum.


I am excited to learn more about our Eastham community and see all the growth our students will make this year!


In partnership,

Dillon Falk

Please Complete These Online Forms

We’re excited to announce that the Online Returning Student Registration (OLRR) is now open. This digital form replaces the paper Emergency Contact forms you previously filled out and returned to your child’s school. Visit the Aspen Portal and then you can access the form by clicking on the Forms tab on the side menu.


Please take a few minutes to review and complete the form. If no updates are needed, confirm the existing information and submit it. Every family must complete this process so we have accurate emergency contacts, email addresses, phone numbers, and more.
