Scholastic Book Fair

The Scholastic Book Fair is scheduled for November 5 at KCCS! All classes from PreK through 2nd grade will attend the book fair during their regularly scheduled library time. We encourage you to set up your e-wallet prior to your child's visit so students do not need to carry money.

Let's Fill the Van!

All Mashpee Public Schools are joining together in the spirit of giving to have a little fun.

K.C. Coombs, Quashnet, and the Middle High School will compete in a contest to see which school can provide the most donated items for Mashpee's Fill the Van community event. Starting on October 27th, students at KC Coombs are encouraged to bring in donated items. See the flyer below for more details!

GUIDANCE SUPPORT

KCCS Holiday Support

The holiday season is right around the corner and while it is a joyful time for many families it can also be stressful with added expenses. Mrs. Kaski, one of the school counselors, is now starting to organize KCCS's holiday support for the 2025 season. If your family would benefit from a little extra assistance during this time of the year please reach out to her at jkaski@mpspk12.org or 508-539-1520 x5120 for more information.

Katelynn’s Closet- Warm Clothes Available

Who We Serve

Katelynn’s Closet serves children ages 4-18 who are deemed in need and live on Cape Cod (Wareham-Sagamore) and the Islands. All orders for children in need must be placed by a social service agent or a school counselor. Katelynn’s Closet does not respond to requests for clothing from family members or the general public. All emails must be sent through a verifiable agency/school email. We also serve fire victims, with requests coming from the fire department.

How We Work

Katelynn’s Closet is distribution based, with social workers and school nurses assessing the child in need, then placing an order with Katelynn’s Closet. The social worker or school nurse provides the child’s age, size, initials, and any special request items like a winter jacket, swimsuit or footwear. The social worker then picks up the clothing order at our warehouse and delivers it to the child in need. At no time does Katelynn’s Closet assess need, nor do we know the identities of the children we serve.

If this is a resource that is of interest, please reach out to Guidance.
