HES Shark Scoop

Starting March 31, the first phase of road work for the placement of sewers will begin on Route 39 in East Harwich. Our Transportation Coordinator is in frequent contact with the construction team in order to minimize disruptions to school bus routes. Moving forward, if there are any specific changes to bus stops or routes, our Transportation Coordinator will contact those families directly. It is recommended that anyone traveling in this area allow for extra time, as through traffic will be detoured while the road work is underway.

Are you interested in working one or a few times a week in our cafeteria? We are in need of substitute cafeteria workers to prepare and serve food to our fabulous Sharks. The ideal hours are 8 am - 1 pm but we have some flexibility. The rate of pay is $19 / hour. Please reach out to Mac Noks at mnoks@monomoy.edu.

A great way to make some extra money and stay on your child's school day schedule. Bus drivers needed for large and small bus transportation. All training is provided by the Collaborative. For more information, please speak with Lisa Stobbart at 508-420-6950

Thank you in advance for avoiding unnecessary absences, tardies, or early dismissals on these testing dates.

Per the handbook, if your child is unable to attend school, please enter the absence in PickUp Patrol and/or call our designated attendance line, 617-848-0115, as early as possible. Soon after arrival, our office staff begins to call the caregivers of absent students if we haven't already heard from them. This is important, as we want to ensure that all students are safe. Your phone message with the reason for the absence is all we need. While an email to the teacher is helpful, it sometimes doesn't make its way to the office staff. Thank you for your help!
