JULY GEMS FROM THE TOWN CLERK’S OFFICE

News You Can Use

We are gearing up for the fall elections, because it is never too early to think about

elections. The State Primary Election is scheduled for September 4, 2018. We should

have the Absentee ballots available by the second week of August.

We have exciting news for our voters in Precinct’s One, Ten and Twelve! Precinct

One will no longer vote at the Barnstable West Barnstable School, but will now vote

at the Zion Baptist Church located at 805 Attucks Lane, in Hyannis. Precincts Ten

and Twelve will no longer vote at the Barnstable United Elementary School, but will

now vote at the Seventh Day Adventist Community Building located at 2736

Falmouth Road (Route 28) in Marstons Mills. There are many reasons for these

changes, for instance all of our polling places have to comply with ADA rules, and many parents were

concerned for the safety of the children. Be on the lookout for a postcard with these changes.

If you are a registered voter, hopefully you filled out your census this year because that form is a voter

confirmation certificate as well. By the Federal law you must confirm yearly that you are still at your

residence and you are still qualified to vote from that address.

That is one of the major reasons we send out the census/voter confirmation form. If you don’t return your

census – it is assumed by our Central Voter Registry system that you are not there. Therefore, you can

become inactivated. That means when you go to vote in September and/or November you may have

to show current ID and fill out a form to prove you still live at that address (driver’s licenses are sufficient

for the ID portion). Please call us at 508-862-4044 if you would like to confirm your residency/voter status.

If you have moved, even within the Town of Barnstable, you need to inform the Town Clerk’s office so we

can update your voter information. Remember every vote does count, and we want to count your vote.

Have a great summer,

Ann M. Quirk, CMC/CMMC, Town Clerk 508-862-4044

Summer Greetings!

Even though June brings the end of school for students and teachers,

administrators work year round, closing out the last school year and preparing

for the opening of the new school year. This summer we welcome three new

administrators to our Barnstable District Leadership Team, including:

Beth Forbes, Barnstable-West Barnstable Elementary School Principal

Mike Wojkowski, Barnstable United Elementary School Principal

Dylan Pauly, School Attorney

Beth Forbes

Beth Forbes started as Principal at Barnstable-West Barnstable Elementary School ("BWB") on

June 1st. Beth continues to have a successful career in Barnstable Public Schools, first serving as

a kindergarten, first grade and second grade classroom teacher. Building upon her classroom

teaching experience, she became the district’s elementary curriculum leader for four years,

responsible for general leadership in curriculum, instruction, and assessment in grades K-5. Most

recently, she has served as the Assistant Principal at Barnstable United Elementary School. Beth

has a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education, and has completed Advanced Graduate

Studies in Educational Leadership and Management. I am confident Beth will bring energetic

and innovative leadership to BWB, with an unwavering focus on student learning and well-

being, while supporting the work and efforts of our BWB teachers.

Mike Wojkowski

Michael Wojkowski has been appointed as the new Principal for Barnstable United Elementary

School ("BUES") . Mike has been with Barnstable Public Schools since 1998 when he started

teaching English at Barnstable High School. In 2010, Mike stepped into the role of English

Language Arts ("ELA") Curriculum Coordinator for grades 6 -12 where his responsibilities included

alignment of the ELA curriculum between the Intermediate School and the High School,

facilitation of professional development to grade 6 -12 ELA staff, and overall support and

supervision of English Department staff at both the High School and the Intermediate

School. Mike holds a Master of Arts Degree in Teaching in English Education through Boston

University. Mike's education and experience will serve him well as he moves into the Principal

role at BUES. He recognizes the importance of students' academic and social-emotional

experience at Barnstable United as they transition from their village elementary schools. Mike is

excited to begin this work in collaboration with the committed staff of Barnstable United.

Dylan Pauly

Dylan has a bachelor’s degree in special education from SUNY-Plattsburgh. After serving as a

special education teacher, Dylan obtained a law degree from the University at Buffalo Law

School, SUNY. She was a public defender and assistant district attorney in Upstate New York,

and then joined a law firm that served the Buffalo, New York, school district and then spent

seven and a half years as counsel in the Madison, Wisconsin, Metro School District. Dylan is

concluding her assignment as an attorney for the public schools in Rochester, New York. She will

join Barnstable Public Schools on July 2, 2018.

I hope everyone is enjoying the worldwide destination vacation location we call home. We are

so lucky to live in such a beautiful place. Have a happy and healthy summer!

Warmest wishes,

Meg

2018 Atlantic Hurricane Season Begins

Start of Hurricane Season is a Reminder to Prepare

Developing Your Emergency

Disaster Plan

While Hurricanes can devastate communities, we

have ample warning time with which to enact a

plan to insure the safety of ourselves and our

When developing your disaster plan consider the

following:

1. Where the emergency shelter is in your area.

2. What is your evacuation route.

3. The elevation of your property above mean

sea level.

4. Whether or not you are located in an

evacuation zone. Find out at mass.gov/

knowyourzone

5. If you plan to relocate in the event of a storm,

where exactly do you plan to go? Make

these preparations now and be sure a call to

confirm will not be required as telephone

communication may not be possible.

6. What will you do with your pets during an

emergency? Remember, shelters DO NOT

always allow pets.

7. Know where the emergency shut off is in your

home for electricity, the main panel, and for

water and natural gas.

8. Be sure any / all important documents are

gathered in one place.

9. Prepare your Survival Kit.

The Emergency Survival Kit Should meet the needs of yourself and your family for

at least 72 hours.

Non-perishable packaged or canned foods that

require little or no preparation. Don’t forget a

can opener! (Soup, peanut butter, canned juices,

vegetables, crackers, jelly, trail mix, etc.)

One gallon of water per person per day, extra

for pets. Store water in sterile, plastic containers

such as empty soft drink bottles. Be sure to

change every six months.

A basic first aid kit.

Battery operated radio and flashlight with extra

batteries.

Remember,

in the event of a severe storm:

1. Secure all outdoor objects.

2. Stay away from windows.

3. Fill your tubs and sinks with water to use in your

toilets if necessary.

4. Keep an eye on vulnerable neighbors.

5. If you are asked to evacuate, don’t hesitate to

do so!
