Old Hammondtown School’s New Principal Stephanie Wells Hosts “Popsicles with the Principal” Event

MATTAPOISETT — Superintendent of Schools Michael S. Nelson and Principal Stephanie Wells are pleased to announce that the Old Hammondtown School hosted a “Popsicles with the Principal” event as an opportunity for the community to meet the new school administrator ahead of the new school year.

On Aug. 14, Principal Wells introduced herself to Old Hammondtown families by treating them with popsicles on the school’s playground.

Wells joined Mattapoisett School District on July 1 from the Rockland Public Schools where she had served as an assistant principal since 2022. Prior to her role in Rockland, Wells served as an assistant principal for Taunton Public Schools. In 1995, she began her career in education as a first-grade teacher at Scituate Public Schools before joining Plymouth Public Schools as a kindergarten teacher in 2007 and as a technology integration specialist in 2013.

She holds a bachelor’s degree from New York University, a Master of Education in elementary education from Bridgewater State College and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study (CAGS) from the University of New England.

“Popsicles with the Principal went very well,” said Principal Wells. “It was truly a pleasure to connect with students and their families, and it provided me with great insight on how I can serve and support the community in my new role.”

Principal Wells will also be present and able to meet families at the Old Hammondtown Open House, which will take place on Aug. 29 from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
