A NOTE FROM PRINCIPAL CLOUTIER
We have just passed midway through the year, less than half the
school year left. Students need to continue concentrating on grades and
reaching for their dreams. Upperclassmen need to start planning their
careers or securing their college choices. Underclassmen need to continue
their studies and start preparing for their future.
As everyone knows, we will begin construction soon here at Bay
Path. I realize that this will bring many uncertainties and confusion in the
upcoming months. Let me give you a few highlights. We are starting with a
side extension to the driveway. This will help with traffic flow. The traffic
will be going around to the side of the school in order to avoid the front of
the school building where the construction will begin this summer. With the
front entrance closed, the main office will be moving to the gym area. So come September, student drop off
and pick up will be by the gym. Bus pick up and drop off will have a small change so when busses are waiting
for 7:35 to open their doors, none of the busses will be in the back parking lot. This will all be explained in a
video that will be put up on the Bay Path web site in June. This first phase of construction will not interfere
with students’ classes while construction continues during the 2013-2014 school year.
Although we are planning a major renovation, it doesn’t mean that we haven’t remembered our first
concern – educating your child. Your child will still be our number one concern throughout the renovation,
and classroom disruption will be kept to a minimum.
We are proud to announce that we have received a grant from our local community. The
Massachusetts Cultural Council, through the STARS Residency program, has graciously awarded us $1,010
to be utilized for an after-school program dedicated to art classes, partnered with artists from QVCAH of
Southbridge. We had over 20 students sign up for this class. The instructors and students are enjoying this
experience.
Bay Path has been invited to participate in the 2013 Bio Teach Program (sponsored by Mass BioEd)
which includes professional development training for two of our Science instructors, $16,000 in grant money
for implementing Bio Tech in our classrooms, and the opportunity to have select students participate in the
Annual Biotechnology Job Shadow Day (date TBD). The grant funding is supported by the Massachusetts
Life Science Center Equipment Grant.
This year Mr. Martinson, Mr. Novak, Ms. Cloutier, and Mr. Sanders, staff member volunteers, started
a bowling team. At the lead of Mr. Martin, they had 28 students on four teams. The bowling alley didn’t
charge for the students bowling, and this activity was a big success for those participating. Big thanks go out
to those teachers for volunteering.
As we proceed through the school year, we will still have MCAS testing for our sophomores in March
for English, May for Math, and June for Science. Freshmen will settle down in their chosen trades. We are
proud to say that 94% of our freshmen were placed in one of their top two choices. May all of the students
thrive in their chosen trades!
It is time for our juniors to explore their futures in their trades as well, or even prepare to go on to
college. The upcoming vacations and summer break will be important times for these students to decide
which avenue to take. I encourage you to attend college tours with your child during these times to help guide
him/her through this process.
Our seniors are entering their final countdown. Please help us keep them on track throughout the rest
of the year. Grades need to be maintained not only for colleges but also to graduate and go on into their
career fields. Seniors – keep your heads in the game. Your final grade is part of your permanent transcript
which will follow you forever.

Massachusetts Vocational
Association
New Teacher Award – 2013
Overview
The Massachusetts Vocational Association New Teacher Award is given to a new teacher that exemplifies
excellence in teaching in the vocational high school setting. This award will be presented at the M.V.A. Annual
Convention at the Cape in March.
An award of up to $500 in course supplies will be given to the recipient for their classroom or shop.
Criteria for the MVA New Teacher Award
1. The nominee can be from either the academic or vocational setting in a Chapter 74 state-approved
career/vocational and technical school
2. Nominee should not have more than 5 years teaching experience and must be a member of the MVA
3. Nominee must have personal commitment to career/vocational and technical education
4. Nominee must show evidence of good personal character and leadership with two (2) written references
supplied by persons having contact with the nominee on a weekly basis
5. Nominee involvement in school activities and/or other experiences that challenge the teacher
Bay Path congratulates Mr. Shawn Sanders of the Office Technology Shop for being the
recipient of the 2013 MVA NEW TEACHER AWARD. Shawn will receive this award at
the annual meeting in Hyannis on March 23.
Shawn first attended Bay Path as a freshman years ago and eventually
wound up in Data Processing. He always enjoyed computers and after
four years at Bay Path, graduated eighth in his class and moved on to
college. Shawn attended Quinsigamond Community College and
Nichols College, graduating Summa Cum Laude, with majors in
Accounting and Finance and Management. After a brief professional
career as a Public Accountant, Shawn fell back on his computer
experience to dive into Technical Support. Eventually he found
himself in a Computer Training position working for various
International Law Firms in Washington, D.C., until 2009 when he
accepted the Office Technology instructor position at Bay Path. After
speaking with Shawn about his decision to become a teacher at his
alma mater, he simply replied, “I could imagine no better place to
work than at the place that made me who I am today.” Shawn is
currently working as the alumni advisor, the yearbook advisor, and the
school photographer. He is involved with many clubs and committees
in and around the school. His goal is simply to give back to the school he graduated from and arm his
students with the real world knowledge they need to succeed. CONGRATULATIONS SHAWN!!

Bay Path’s first DECA competition was a huge success! On Friday,
January 11, 15 students traveled to Boxboro for a day of competition.
We were one of ten schools in the area, with over 500 students
competing in various business and marketing categories. Each student
took a 100 question marketing based test, then went onto a 15-30 minute
role play where they were presented with a business based situation and
had to come up with a solution.
The Bay Path students participating in the competition were Thais Rentas, Matthew Hence, Elicia
Wright, Joseph Clark, Matthew Cloutier, Brittany Coonan, Travis Bashaw, Harlie Splaine, Breanna
Franks, Dakota Chenevert, Keisha Morales, Ashley Bachand, Stephen Mayo, Carly Fournier, Kelsey
Sanchez, Jalaisy Alvarado, Brianna Mullin, Matthew Cooper, and Rebecca Smith.
We had 8 finalists who will move onto the state competition March 14-16
in Boston!
The following chart shows the breakdown:
Name Competitive Area
Joe Clark Business Financial Services
Carly Fournier Quick Serve Restaurant Management
Jalaisy Alvarado Sports and Entertainment Marketing

The team of Rebecca Smith and Brianna Mullin, along with the team of Jessica Cahill, Brittany Boyle, and

www.skydrive.com
Students, have you set up your Skydrive account? Remember, this is a site where you can upload your
work from any computer to save it and then access it from any computer. So, if you upload your work
from school, you can then access it at home and work on it. If you upload to it from home, you can
then open it at school and work on it. The work is saved outside of the school or your house, “in the
cloud”, where you can get at your documents from any computer with internet access.
In order to set up the account, they may need to set up a new e-mail account in gmail or Microsoft.
("Microsoft account" is the new name for what used to be called a "Windows Live
ID." Your Microsoft account is the combination of an email address and a
password that you use to sign in to services like Hotmail, Messenger, SkyDrive,
Windows Phone, Xbox LIVE, or Outlook.com. If you use an email address and
password to sign in to these or other services, you already have a Microsoft
account—but you can also sign up for a new one at any time.)
Bay Path is strongly recommending that all students save their work to this site. By doing so, students
will be able to access their academic and vocational work from any computer at any time. This is very
beneficial when it comes to working with documents in your academic classes and with the junior and
senior portfolios. Pictures can also be saved at this location. Juniors and seniors will always have
access to their resumes, OSHA certificates, and the other documents that may be required when
applying to colleges or for employment.
The advantage of using this site is that they will have this account for as long as they want; it will not
end because they no longer pay for it or have graduated from high school. It is a free site.
If a student would like more information on Skydrive, they may ask at the Media Center or in Room
114 to receive assistance.

be available in late May, and we will draw the winning ticket after
Memorial Day. The freshman class is also starting a peer tutoring
program. People interested in becoming peer tutors will be meeting with Mrs. Giles in early
February and holding their first peer tutoring session in February. We hope to do a session
every month so students can get assistance from their peers in order to be successful. If you
would like to be a tutor or are in need of using tutoring services, please see Mrs. Giles in
Room 211.

STARS Residencies Art Program
STARS Residencies (Students and Teachers Working with Artists, Scientists, and Scholars)
provided grants of $500-$5,000 to schools to support creative learning residencies of three days or
more in the arts, sciences, and humanities. Bay Path was fortunate enough to obtain one.
STARS Residencies recognize the vital role that creative learning in the arts, sciences, and
humanities plays in the successful education of young people. The arts, sciences, and humanities
provide students with much-needed opportunities to uncover hidden talents, discover and express
their own ideas, build confidence, explore the natural world, and understand their place in history
and the community. For many students, this creative learning inspires them to come to school and
stay in school. Cultural partners - teaching artists, scientists, scholars, and cultural organizations -
help schools bring creative learning to students, both in and outside the classroom
Quinebaug Valley Council for the Arts and Humanities in
Southbridge has provided Bay Path four artists over a period of nine
weeks, plus a tenth week for an art show at QVCAH. Nineteen of
our students will be taking art lessons after school two days a week.
Bay Path’s resident artists include: Albert Rosa, Jacqueline
Lagasse, Evy Gaudette, Faith Beaudoin, Alissa Rhault, Kaitlin
Bond, Lucas Pare, Jonathan Rossi, Salvador Martinez, Larissa
Piette, Maggie Bent, Tyler Trombly, Andrew Gullekson, Hayley
McCullough, Hannah Gendreau, Jordan Cierpich, Craig Harmat,

The Marketing Shop took orders for flowers for Valentine’s Day and delivered them to
unsuspecting friends and teachers on Thursday, February 14. Preorders were taken for single
carnations, half dozen roses, or a dozen roses. The flowers were wrapped nicely or placed in a pretty
vase with ferns and baby’s breath. This was a fundraiser for the shop.
If you would like to order flowers in the future, please email the teacher at 0324@baypath.tec.ma.us
to see if they are available.
The carnation is a historically rich and meaningful flower choice. With its
scientific name dianthus roughly translating to "flower of love" or "flower of
the gods", depending on the source, this flower is one that has been
revered for centuries. One of the world's oldest cultivated flowers, the
carnation is appreciated for its ruffled appearance, clove-like scent, and
extended blooming period. The meanings of carnations include
fascination, distinction, and love.
There is no flower that has been revered and celebrated as much as the
rose. As a source of inspiration to people throughout history, roses are the definitive symbol for love and
appreciation.
The bright, sunny color of yellow roses evokes a feeling of warmth and happiness. The
warm feelings associated with the yellow rose are often akin to those shared with a
true friend. As such, the yellow rose is an ideal symbol for joy and friendship.
Red roses are the traditional symbol for love and romance, and a timehonored
way to say "I love you." The red rose has long symbolized
beauty and perfection.
As a symbol of grace and elegance, the pink rose is often given as an
expression of admiration. Pink roses can also convey appreciation as
well as joyfulness.

recognize our students for so many of the great things they do!
We would ESPECIALLY like to thank our hard-working kitchen and dining
room crew: Mrs. Holland, Mr. Guay, Mr. Cloutier, Mr. Green, Ms. Chauvin,
Ms. Raulli, Mrs. Grimes and Miss Grimes, Mrs. Dahlstrom, Mrs. Corbett and

THANK YOU to everyone who came to eat and supported us (you know who you are!)
through the raffle of the wonderful prizes that were donated to Renaissance for the event.
We had a good evening, had some great food, raised
a couple dollars for our student activities, and
learned a few lessons for next time!

On January 24, 2013, Queen Clark and Princess Giles visited Health Tech
and Cosmetology to honor some students for their well-deserved
recognition. Though it was a few months ago, they did not want to forget
these students for the outstanding jobs they did for others.
A group of the health students volunteered over the long October weekend
at Camp Sunshine in Caso, Maine. Mrs. Slavinskas and Mrs. Clark also
gave up their time for five days to help out at the camp for families with
children living with cancer.
Students honored were
Christopher Hawes, Sara
Hevy, Amanda Parent,
Rhianna Lafleche, Cynthia
Zayas, Abby Miner,
Brianna Langlois, Gabby
Bailey, Mayralejandra
Nunez, and Donna Ahaesy.
Congratulations on the
Great community service
you undertook to help others.
50

Also recognized in the Cosmetology Shop, were four young ladies who gave up their time one evening in
October to pamper some young girls at the Charlton Library. The cosmo girls gave the young girls special
treatment when they styled their hair, polished their nails, and gave some makeup tips. These four girls
who gave up their time to help others were Leighanne Pelillo, Sarah Dupuis, Emily Derkosrofian, and
Jaquelyn Litwak. Ladies, keep up the great work!
51

Queen Clark and Princess Giles went strolling along to offer some more honors to the Culinary Arts shop
students. They offered their congratulations to the “Castle Kings and Damsels” for the hard work they put
into making the Gingerbread Castle for the competition held in December at Higgins Armory. Their hard
work paid off as the Bay Path students placed first in the People’s Choice Division and first place in the
Judges’ Amateur Choice Division. These awards came with $200, a ribbon, and a trophy.
The twenty-three students who participated in making the gingerbread castle were Iain Church, Captain;
Shane Banks, Jonothan Bergeron, James Devens, David St. Germain, Andrew Guerin, Richard Ramsey,
Samantha Snopkowski, Abigail Alvarez, Meghan Bellerive, Caitlyn Gregoire, Kristene Paquin, Mariah
Mitchell, Jillian St. Pierre, Shane Dolan, Adam Rohr, Emma Robitaille, Tyler Barrette, Joe Charron,
Sabarina Prince, Eliezer Alicea, Zach Livernois, Brittaney Pinho-Perdigao, Meagan McPherson, Carly
Jean West Martin, Krysta Rollins, Hailey Casavant, and Kelsey Vega.
The students donated the $200, along with the gingerbread
castle, to the pediatric unit at Harrington Hospital. The money
came in very helpful
during the holiday
season to bring some
joy to the patients.
Congratulations go
out to each of the
students, and Chef
Wood, for making
such a beautiful
castle and for making
the generous
donations.

A conscious effort continues to be made by the Bay Path SADD Advisors in conjunction
with the Bay Path Administration to coordinate and present timely, age appropriate
programs. On Thursday, January 3, 2013, SADD began the new year with a presentation
by State Trooper Christian Paluk of the Massachusetts State Police Training Academy of
New Braintree. He educated members of the sophomore and junior classes about the
dangers of distracted, impaired, rage filled, and impulsive driving. He shared personal
accounts of tragedies he had responded to and dealt with, entertained a number of
student questions, and gifted all in attendance with a key chain. He also explained the
requirements for entering and becoming a State Police officer. SADD looks forward to
future presentations by Trooper Paluk!
Special thanks go to Mrs. Paula Clark and Mrs. Ann MacDermott-Keefe for coordinating
this presentation.

Massachusetts State Police Academy
340 West Brookfield Road
New Braintree, MA 01531
Telephone: (508) 867-1000
The
Massachusetts State
Police Academy is
located on 780 acres in rural New Braintree. The compound consists of over twenty buildings. These
buildings house the classrooms, dining facility, firearms range, sleeping quarters, physical plant and
gymnasium. A small housing community, dubbed Circle Drive, is used as additional office space and for
realistic training exercises. The property boasts it own water treatment plant and well field which supplies
both the compound and the local grammar school with water. A fully certified confidence course, with high
and low elements, is part of the training facility.
The Academy hosts outside agencies, such as the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Environmental
Police, which have staff and office space on site.
All recruit training is based here. Recruits attend a twenty-five week, modified stress, live-in academy,
consisting of over ninety different courses of instruction. The day begins at 5:30 AM with physical training.
The recruit then attends academic courses until 8:00 PM. The recruits then have study and personal time until
lights out at 9:30 PM. All classes, with the exception of driver training and water safety, are conducted in
New Braintree. Recruits are released on Friday evening to go home, and return Monday morning for training.
The Academy also conducts in-service training and firearms re-qualification for veteran State Police officers.
The Academy provides Professional development courses which are designed for, and offered to, the public
safety community at little to no cost to the attendee.
The State Police also partners with the
American Legion to provide a one week, livein,
mini-academy known as the Student
Trooper Program. This program is an intensive
course patterned after the actual recruit class. It
is not a summer camp. It is offered to high
school students 15 to 17 years old, who are in
good scholastic standing, and good
physical condition. Further information can
be gathered through your high school counselor or American Legion post.

National Wear Red Day ® promotes the Red Dress symbol and provides an opportunity for everyone to unite in The
Heart Truth's life-saving awareness-to-action movement by putting on a favorite red dress, red shirt, or red tie.
On Friday, February 1, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the Office on Women's Health (OWH),
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and many other groups promoted National Wear Red Day.
It is the hope of these organizations that everyone will band together to continue to urge women to protect their
hearts, as heart disease is the #1 killer of women.
The centerpiece of The Heart Truth is the Red Dress, which was introduced as the
national symbol for women and heart disease awareness in 2002 by NHLBI.
The Red Dress ® reminds women of the need to protect their heart health and
inspires them to take action.
The campaign is especially aimed at women ages 40 to 60, the age when a
woman's risk of heart disease starts to rise. But its messages are also
important for younger women, since heart disease develops gradually and can start at a young age-even in the
teenage years. Older women have an interest too—it's never too late to take action to prevent and control the risk
factors for heart disease. Even those who have heart disease can improve their heart health and quality of life.
Bay Path’s faculty and staff showed their allegiance to women’s health by wearing red on February 1.

On Friday, January 25, Mr. Norman Mercier made his
annual visit to Mrs. MacDermott-Keefe’s English classes
to talk about bees. Having just completed the reading of
Beowulf, the story of a warrior who befriends and does battle
with the assistance of Bees whom he tends and befriends, the
class listened to Mr. Mercier talk about the importance of bees
to nature and sustainability of the environment. He talked about
their goodness and the healthful properties of the honey they
produce. Mr. Mercier answered a plethora of student questions
and clarified which bees are harmful, life cycles, benefits of
daily honey consumption, and the importance of contacting him
if they see a swarm of bees. Mr. Mercier shared samples of
“Norm’s bees’ honey” for any student who wished to try. Mrs.
Keefe thanked and gifted Mr. Mercier at the end of his presentation with her homemade apple pie made from
HONEY-no sugar!!
Mr. Mercier is the President of the Worcester
County Bee Keepers Association and a former
Bay Path Science teacher of 30 years. He has been
retired for nine years and when asked, he comes in
and speaks with Mrs. Keefe’s classes upon
completion of the epic poem BEOWULF.
Beowulf’s relationship stems from his youthful
experience having been stung by a swarm of bees
who rendered him partially blind, he turns this
weakness into a strength by using the bees as his
best weapon against mythical enemies, Firedrake
for example, throughout the poem.

If I Stay
Written ByGayle Forman
Reviewed By Mandi Strzelewicz
I didn’t know much going into this book. I figured it was your average story of girl dying, being stuck
in-between life and death, and—judging by the title—has to make a decision of whether to live or die.
And…that’s pretty much what the story was about. The entire novel is really just
one long day. We start off seeing Mia and her family heading off on a drive on a
winter day, and I’m sure you can guess where it goes from there.
The novel was really good though. It was written well, and the story was
interrupted with flash backs of Mia’s life before the car crash. It gives Mia more
reason to stay, yet at all the same time more reason to move on. She doesn’t fit
in with her family, but she can’t leave her boyfriend or baby brother. The
majority of the story is in the ER, with family in the waiting room and friends
trying to sneak in to see Mia in case she breathes her last breath.
All the way through, Mia thinks about what she should decide. If she
stays, she’ll be more alone than ever, but if she dies she leaves so much behind.
Mia doesn’t even know what she would do once she makes her decision, because
at the moment she is just a ghost as she watches her family wait for her to
awake.
The story was well told, and there was just enough flash backs to make you fall in love with the
character, but I felt like there was something missing. At one point in the book we hear big news and think
“this is it, the story is going to bring me to tears”, but it never happens. I feel like there was one aspect of
emotion that was just missing from the story.
There is a second book that follows this one called Where She Went, telling Mia’s story after her
decision is made because If I Stay closes with Mia making her choice. The ending is perfect and even though
it is a bit abrupt, I wouldn’t change it a bit.

Wintergirls
Written by Laurie Halse Anderson
Reviewed By Mandi Strzelewicz
I knew I was going to love this book before I even read the first page. Maybe it’s because the subject
hits close to home or maybe it’s because it’s by author of Speak—I’ll admit I’m guilty of only seeing the
movie version, though the book is on my to-read list. Wintergirls is the story of Lia, who’s best friend has
just been found dead and alone in a motel. From the first page I was sucked
into the story, never wanting to put the book down. The writing quality is
amazing and the novel is more like a giant poem. The descriptions Lia gives to
things around her are both dark and riveting. A lot of the time stories tend to
have the same, blah voice, but Wintergirls is different. Since the story is told
from Lia’s point of view we picture everything as she sees it.
At this point you may be wondering where the title of the book comes
from. Cassie and Lia are best friends; they are wintergirls. They are in between
worlds. They function with the living but are on the brink of death. Both girls
possess eating disorders. Cassie had bulimia. Lia is anorexic.
It’s not an easy story to read, but you find yourself trapped with Lia in
her world. If you ever want to understand what it means to have an eating disorder, this book is a must. You’ll
find what it means to hate yourself for eating, how lack of fuel eats away at your body until something
eventually fails. There are moments of the book towards the end where I had to stop reading because the
description is so graphic, raw and painful. I can’t say I would recommend the book to everyone, but to those
brave enough to take on the emotions I give you kudos. You’ll be transfixed into her world; choosing sides:
her parents who want to force feed her, or Lia who wants that number on the scale to get smaller and smaller.
Anderson’s writing has been criticized by some because it’s different. There are lines in the book that
are crossed out, showing Lia’s true thoughts even if she wishes they weren’t hers. There are random blurbs
that haunt Lia throughout the story and fuel her disorder. But the style of writing is the best part. Everything
about it just makes you realize what goes through someone’s head as they battle their inner demons.
This book is held close to my heart, and I know it’s done the same for others. It’s given people a new
perspective; it isn’t a pretty one, but it’s real. The book is uncensored, revealing the struggle with eating
disorders and depression.

Congratulations go out to the senior HVAC students for successfully passing their R-410A
Certification. The students are Brendon Alicea, Zachary Bousquet, Austin Burlingame, Michael
Carance, Thomas Hoare, Dylan Langlais, Michael Martini, Nicholas Masley, Timothy Moriarty,
and Raymond Neeland
Because many HFC refrigerants, such as R-410A, operate at considerably higher pressures than many
other refrigerants,. R-410A systems require service professionals to use different tools and equipment
when installing, retrofitting, or repairing these systems. This demonstrates that one has received
additional training in the handling, servicing, and recovery of R-410A equipment.
Currently HFC refrigerants, including R-410A, are not covered under the refrigerant sales restriction of
the Clean Air Act Amendments, and, at this time the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency does not
require or mandate a separate certification for the handling of these refrigerants. Nevertheless, many
equipment manufacturers are well aware of the concerns and safety issues of working with HFC
refrigerants and are requiring service professionals who purchase their R-410A systems to be certified
through each of their own independent programs and/or show proof of attending their training seminar.

The Bay Path football Team finished the season with an 11-2 record tying the school record with most
wins in a season with 11. Along the way, they captured the Colonial League Championship. After
finishing the regular season with a 10-1 record, they defeated Littleton 14-12 in the Tuesday night
playoff game, but lost to Blackstone Valley Tech in the Super Bowl 6-0. The team featured 19 seniors
(16 of whom have been with the program since freshmen year), and they were the leaders both on and
off the field. Although we were undermanned in some games because of injuries, many others picked
up the slack in what proved to be an excellent team effort. Congratulations boys on a super effort and
season!!
In addition, several individual and team records were established this year: most notably, Team
records--most points scored in a season (365), most points scored in a game (48), and most interceptions
in a season (22).

the building at 7:35 am. First class begins at 7:47 am. Dismissal is at 2:30 pm. On half days, dismissal is at 11
am.
After-school help is Monday through Thursday each week. Students should double check with the particular
teacher they want to stay with to see which day he/she stays after. Students can take the 3:30 late bus.
If a student enters his/her first class after the bell, he/she is tardy. Late
students must sign in at office. They may get a detention after being marked tardy on three different
occasions. Tardies due to a late bus are not counted. See the attendance policy in the student handbook on
the Bay Path webpage at www.baypath.tec.ma.us for more details.
If a student is to be absent, a parent should call the school to verify
the absence. If a call is not received, the school will call the home. The student is considered truant if a call
was not received and there is no answer at home. Upon an absence, a student is to bring in a note to the
office upon their return.
Cell phones and all electronic devices must be off and out of sight
upon entrance into the building. These devices may not be used anywhere in the building or on the job site. If
a staff member sees or hears any kind of device, that person has the right to take the equipment away from
the student.
Students must present a note from their parent or
guardian to the main office upon arrival at school in the morning. The student must check in at the main office
at the designated time. In an emergency or unforeseen circumstance, the Principal or his designee may dismiss
a student upon parent request.
A: In case of inclement weather, school may be canceled or the opening delayed by one or two hours,
depending upon conditions. Principal Clifford Cloutier will leave a phone message on your primary phone for
morning announcements around 5:30 am. School closings are also announced on local TV and AM radio
stations. If you are not on the all-call list to receive these messages, please contact the school office at 508-
248-5971.
Students can prepay lunches, pay daily,
or apply for free/reduced lunches. Questions should be addressed to Diane Comtois, Food Services Director,
for more information. She may be reached at dcomtois@baypath.tec.ma.us or 508-248-5971, ext. 1522.
All teachers may be contacted either by email or
voicemail. E-mail is the preferred method. Teacher email addresses are listed on the Bay Path web page at
www.baypath.tec.ma.us. If for some reason this does not work, please call the school. Teachers are also
available by voicemail. Call the school number, 508-248-5971, and the voice will prompt you to a listing of
mailboxes.
