Dear Bridgehampton School Families, Staff, and Community, 

As we prepare to celebrate the holidays, I would like to express my gratitude for our wonderful students, our supportive families and community, our dedicated and hardworking staff, and the stewardship and dedication of our Board of Education trustees. 

This year has been filled with so many achievements that reflect the strength of our school community, including innovative classroom activities and projects, the academic accomplishments of our students, and engaging after-school and community events and extracurricular activities. Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to providing meaningful and engaging learning opportunities for our students, and our students continue to impress and inspire us with their many interests, talents, and accomplishments! 
 

What truly makes our District special is not just what we achieve, but how we achieve it by working together. The partnership between our school and families remains the cornerstone of our success, and your continued support and engagement make our school community strong and vibrant.  The holiday season also reminds us of the importance of goodwill, kindness, compassion, hope, and connection – values that we strive to foster in our school every day. 

As we enter this season of joy and reflection, I hope each of you will take time to rest, recharge, and enjoy holiday celebrations with loved ones.  Looking ahead to the new year, I am filled with optimism about the opportunities and possibilities that lie ahead for our school community!  We look forward to welcoming back our students and staff from the holiday recess on Monday, January 6, 2025. 

On behalf of the Board of Education and the District Leadership Team, I wish you and your families a joyful holiday season and a happy and healthy New Year!  

Warm regards, 
Mary T. Kelly, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
