Dear Falmouth Families,

Welcome to the 2018-19 school year! I hope you enjoyed a fun-filled and relaxing summer with family and friends. The start of the school year is always an exciting time for students, staff, and families.

I am so proud to be your new superintendent and be part of the Falmouth Public Schools’ family. Over the summer months, I heard from so many parents, students, staff, and community members about our District’s high standards and expectations for excellence, appreciation for the caring teachers and staff, and the abundant academic and extra curricular programs offered at our schools. It is clear that our District’s strength lies in an entire community committed to educating our youth.

The Falmouth Public Schools’ Framework for Student Success is an exemplary model for ensuring all students have access to a world class education; are supported in their academic learning, growth and achievement; are offered personalized learning opportunities to further develop their unique strengths, interests and talents; and are supported in safe, nurturing, and positive learning environments.

True to the Falmouth spirit, we will continue to work tirelessly to make our schools a place where your children want to come each and every day to engage in learning that challenges them, builds confidence, and encourages them to achieve their very best. We all care deeply about the success of our children! We are lucky to have such a passionate and dedicated staff whose priorities are focused on students and building positive relationships. We are fortunate to be part of a community committed to excellence. Every student! Every day!

I look forward to a great year! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with questions, comments, or concerns. My email is lduerr@falmouth.k12.ma.us and my office phone number is 508-548-0151, ext. 137.

I welcome you and your children to join me as we embark on a wonderful and successful school year!

Lori Duerr, Ed.D.
Superintendent
