Weekly Message

Dear Oak Bluffs Families,

I hope you have had a wonderful return from spring break and that you enjoyed your time with your family and friends whether you were on or off island. Spring is an exciting time of year in the educational field.  Currently, we are preparing for some awesome field trips, concerts, sporting events, and graduation. This is also the time of year we administer our state mandated PARCC assessment to graders three through eight.  Although these are extremely important assessments, we work hard to minimize any stress or pressure associated with them. The data gleaned from these assessments is used to establish educational plans for our students. We only ask that your child puts forth their best effort.  Also, please be sure your child/ children are well rested and have a healthy breakfast on testing days.  

On another note, this week was staff appreciation week.  The entire staff at OBS wishes to thank our incredible PTO and the Teacher Appreciation Committee for their thoughtful recognition throughout Staff  Appreciation Week. From the staff breakfast, luncheon, sweets from Chilmark Chocolates, and the staff Party at JB Blau’s “Loft” among many other things, are very much appreciated. You have been nothing short of remarkable in the way you have shown your appreciation for what we do. Thank you for everything you do for Oak Bluffs School!!  Also, thank you to all the parents who contributed their delicious treats, time and money. The entire staff at OBS wishes to extend a sincere thank you.Throughout this whole year, you have been vital to the positive climate that pervades our school. We are very fortunate to have you, the wonderful parents of Oak Bluffs School who make up our PTO and our school community.  

I hope you all have a wonderful and restful weekend.

Respectfully,


Dr. Megan Farrell

Dr. Megan Farrell appointed Principal of Oak Bluffs School

4/15/2016

 
To the Oak Bluffs School Community,
​

I am very pleased to inform you that I have appointed Dr. Megan Farrell as permanent principal of the Oak Bluffs School. Dr. Farrell has been serving as the Interim Principal since January. Throughout this school year, she has exhibited excellent leadership skills and the ability to foster a positive and enriching school environment.

Dr. Farrell helped to navigate the transition from former principal Jacky Rizzo’s brief tenure. The school has not skipped a beat and has in many ways improved as it has reached a level of stability of which any school should strive.

Dr. Farrell has worked at the Oak Bluffs School for nineteen years, this last year as the Administrator for Curriculum and Support and Interim Principal. In this capacity, Dr. Farrell has made decisions that align with our core values as a leadership team; collaboration, trust, and responsibility. Dr. Farrell is student centered in her focus and professional in her manner. She is a true asset to the Oak Bluffs School community.

As a longtime administrator, I understand the need to find a talented and highly skilled school leader. I also understand the need of finding a leader that is the right fit for a school’s unique culture. In Dr. Farrell, the Oak Bluffs School has both. For this, I am very happy for this community and our entire school system. 

I have received feedback of very positive support for Dr. Farrell from the Oak Bluffs School staff. This is a testament to the job she has done in supporting the school over the past year. Thank you to staff members and parents who have worked closely this year with Dr. Farrell to ensure a positive school experience for all of our students. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Matthew D’Andrea, LP.D.
Superintendent of Schools
