On Aug. 29, administrators, faculty and staff gathered at Bayport-Blue Point High School for Superintendent’s Conference Day ahead of first day of school. Superintendent Dr. Timothy P. Hearney led the conference, which strongly focused on the importance of communication, trust and connections.
Dr. Hearney began the day by welcoming all new staff to the district. He, along with all attending staff, then congratulated those in the district who had children, got engaged or got married recently as well as those we received tenure or hit major milestones of 20, 25 or 30 years in the district.
Continuing the great news, Bayport-Blue Point High School Office Assistant Ms. Arpino was named employee of the year and Blue Point Elementary Teacher Ms. Monahan was named teacher of the year during the conference.
To conclude the day, Dr. Hearney hosted a game of BBP “Jeopardy!”, featuring teams of administrators and staff members. In this friendly quiz competition, staff members were asked to guess the answers to fun facts about many Bayport-Blue Point colleagues for points. The game focused on the importance of connections, proving both how well many of the staffers knew one another and how many interesting things there still were to learn about one another.
