Resources for Military Connected Families
The Bourne Public Schools are proud to educate students of active duty military families serving on Joint Base Cape Cod. There are several military bases located within the complex including: Otis Air National Guard Base, Camp Edwards, Cape Cod Space Force Station, Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod, and Coast Guard Base Cape Cod. If you are one of the familes serving on the base and have children, the Bourne Public Schools welcome you and are ready to support your student's needs. We understand this can be a stressful time for your family as you adjust to a new location. We hope that you will find comfort in knowing we have decades of experience transitioning students of military families from the base to our wonderful schools. You will find information and links below that will assist you and your student with the transition to Bourne Public Schools.
Our District Liaison for Military-Connected Families is Dr. Barbara Starkie
She can be reached at bstarkie@bourneps.org or 508-759-0660
