Bus Right Transportation Important Reminder
Parents and Guardians, This fall, we will be beginning the Districtwide use of BusRight, a transportation app that will allow you to keep track of your child's school bus route to and from school directly from your smartphone. BusRight is the only method by which bus information will be distributed to parents and guardians this year. So, as we get ready to begin the new school year, please take a moment to download the BusRight app to your phone or tablet this week. The BusRight app will allow you to, in real-time, follow your child's bus route to and from school, receive notifications when the bus begins and ends its route, view the expected arrival time at your child's designated bus stop, and receive periodic communication from the Transportation Department. The app will also send you the bus route information for you student, including bus route, bus stop and time. Invitations to our roll-out of the app will be sent to your email in late August from support@busright.com with the subject "You're Invited to BusRight". Your invite will contain a link to create an account with BusRight and will officially go live with bus routes on the morning of the first day of school in September. Questions or issues regarding the use of the BusRight app should be directed to support@busright.com . As always, questions about your child's bus stop or route should be directed to the Transportation Department] at (631) 329-4212.

Dear EHHS Families, It is hard to believe that back to school is just around the corner! We look forward to seeing students on September 2nd! As a reminder, student schedules will be released on August 25th. Schedule Conflict Day is August 26th from 7:40-11:30 and 12:30-2:30.. After parents/guardians/students have reviewed their schedule, if there are any necessary changes to core subject areas (English, History, Science, Math and/or World Language) OR if there are any errors/missing required courses - prior to the first day of classes, students have two options listed below. While reviewing, please note that lunch period and/or teacher changes will not be permitted. 1. Students can submit their issue by completing the Google form on the Guidance webpage (under General Information). Counselors will respond as soon as possible, either via email or call down the student. The link can also be found below. 2.

The in person date is August 26th from 7:40-11:30 and 12:30-2:30. We strive to create student schedules that reflect teacher recommendations, as well as the required courses and electives requested by each student. However, it is not always possible to accommodate every request due to scheduling conflicts and limitations. This is all discussed during scheduling meetings each spring. Please be assured that we do our best to balance all factors fairly while also ensuring that we set all students up for success.

Bell To Bell Cell Phone Policy
Dear East Hampton Families, As you may know, New York State has passed a new law banning the use of Internet-enabled devices by students during the school day. This means that students will be unable to access their cell phones, smart watches, and like-items from bell-to-bell. There are exceptions to the rule, including the use of Internet-enabled items for instructional purposes. Some have welcomed this new law while others have objected to its approach. The East Hampton UFSD will be enforcing these new restrictions with age-appropriate solutions in each of our buildings. At John M. Marshall Elementary School and East Hampton Middle School things will stay the same. At the High School, students will be provided with a special locking pouch that they will lock at the beginning of each day and unlock as they leave the building each afternoon. Universal keys for these pouches will be placed throughout the building in cases of emergency. As always, parents will be able to contact their children by calling the school's main office. School staff will relay messages to students or provide students with a phone to use to call parents directly. Attached please find the new Board of Education policy, in English and Spanish, which further spells out the State mandated restrictions. We trust that this new policy will have a period of adjustment as students and adults get used to the new normal. The District administration is ready to work with all parties to ensure a smooth transition. Yours truly, Adam Fine SuperintendentFriday, Jul 11 2025

Student Tragedy Follow-Up Message
Dear East Hampton School Community, I am writing to follow up on my earlier message and to provide an overview of how our school responded today in the wake of the tragic car accident that claimed the life of one of our students. At 7:20 AM this morning, our faculty and staff gathered for a meeting where we shared the heartbreaking news. Immediately following this, members of our Mental Health Team and Administrative staff visited each first-period classroom to inform students of the loss in a sensitive and personal manner. Students were offered immediate access to our building-level mental health professionals, along with counselors from the Family Service League. Many students chose to speak with someone right away, while others may choose to do so in the days and weeks ahead. We want to remind everyone that these support services will continue to be available for as long as needed. Today marked the final day of classes, traditionally followed by our end-of-year barbecue and carnival. After thoughtful consideration, we decided to proceed with the event. Our goal was to provide a sense of normalcy and to offer students a chance to gather, reflect, and support one another. At the same time, we understood that not all students would feel comfortable participating. For those who preferred a quieter space, our library was open throughout the day and staffed by social workers and supportive peers. In moments like these, the strength and compassion of the East Hampton community truly shine. We are grateful for the way our students, staff, and families have come together during this incredibly difficult time. Please continue to keep the victim’s family in your thoughts and prayers. As we move forward, let us do so with care, kindness, and support for one another. With heartfelt sympathy, Sara Smith Principal East Hampton High School

Student Tragedy
Dear East Hampton School Community, It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that I share devastating news about a tragedy that has deeply affected our school and community. One of our beloved students has passed away as a result of an automobile accident that also involved other East Hampton students who sustained injuries. There are no words that can fully express the sorrow we feel for the family, friends, and all those impacted by this heartbreaking loss. During times like these, we are reminded of how strong and united the East Hampton community truly is. We come together to lift each other up, support one another, and provide comfort in the face of unimaginable grief. In response, we will have our full mental health team available to support students in any way they need. In addition, professionals from the Family Service League and Hospice will be on-site to offer counseling and guidance to any student who may need help processing this profound tragedy. We encourage families to speak with their children, to check in, and to let them know it is okay to grieve, to feel, and to seek help. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you feel your child would benefit from additional support. Together, as one community, we will honor the life that was lost, support those who are healing, and continue to lean on each other in the days and weeks ahead. With heartfelt sympathy, Sara Smith Principal East Hampton High School
