Hampton Bays School District students were full of excitement as they arrived for the first day of the 2025-2026 school year on Sept. 3.

“We are so happy to have our students back for the 2025-26 school year and our newest Baymen in kindergarten, as well,” said Superintendent of Schools Lars Clemensen. “Today is the first day of a year of possibility, opportunity and potential that our students will experience every single day.”

Elementary students were greeted by their teachers and principals and escorted to their classrooms, where they began organizing their supplies and making new friends. Middle and high school students kicked off the academic year by settling into their new routines and meeting their teachers.
