Westhampton Beach students were all smiles as they arrived for the first day of the 2021-2022 school year on Sept. 2.

“We are excited to welcome our students back to school,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Carolyn Probst. “We are looking forward to providing them with a fun and engaging learning experience this year.”

Upon arrival, elementary students were greeted by their teachers and new Principal Jeremy Garritano. They were escorted to their classrooms, where they began organizing their supplies and making new friends.

Earlier in the morning, middle and high school students kicked off the academic year by settling into their new routines and meeting their teachers.
