We are happy to report the USDA has announced that breakfast and lunch will be free of charge to all students through the 2021-2022 school year, including the summer months.

 

We are reaching out in order to determine interest in providing these meals on a grab and go basis for the summer months. Please be aware that this service is separate from students who will be attending our Commack summer programs.  Those students attending Commack summer programs will be provided breakfast and lunch each day they are in attendance, at no charge.

 

Should there be enough interest in the grab and go summer recess program, we would likely offer multi-meal pick-up twice a week (Mondays and Thursdays). Please click here to complete the short survey so we can build a summer breakfast and lunch grab and go program for the summer recess. The survey will close Monday, June 14, 2021 at noon.

Governor Cuomo announced in a livestream broadcast today that students in public schools will continue to be required to wear masks indoors, but will not be required to wear masks outdoors on school grounds. Local school districts can decide on outside policies for masking.  As you know, the Board of Education and Dr. James are strong advocates for parental choice in this and every matter concerning the health and safety of our children.  Therefore, mask wearing outdoors on Commack school grounds will be voluntary effective immediately and at the sole discretion of individual parents.

 

Recognizing that temperatures are forecast to be in the 80s and 90s this week, teachers and staff have been asked to adjust mask breaks accordingly, especially when in non-airconditioned rooms – we must pay close attention to the physical signals we receive from students and staff during the coming hot days and adjust as needed.  Please let your children know that if they need a mask break before the teacher gives one in the classroom, they need only ask the teacher and a mask break will be given.

  The chart of positive COVID-19 cases reported to our schools will no longer be distributed with a daily email and/or text message and will be posted on the website. The chart can be viewed by clicking the title (above). The seven-day percentage of COVID-19 cases reported to our schools remains steadily below 1.0%. The 7-day percentage for the Commack Schools is 0.01%.

As we engage in continuous review of our programs and structures to best support the needs of our students, schools, and the community-at-large, we are excited to share the following enhancements to our administrative structure at Commack High School and District Office. 

First, Ms. Leslie Boritz, current Principal of Commack High School, will join the District Office team, where she will assume the role of Principal for Leadership and Instruction. Next, Ms. Carrie Lipenholtz, Vice Principal of Commack High School, will be assuming the role of High School Principal effective July 1, 2021. Additionally, Mr. Matthew Keltos, current Assistant Principal, will transition to Vice Principal of Commack High School. As you can see by these changes, it leaves an opening for the Assistant Principal position at Commack High School.  Please be aware that there is an opening in District Office due to the resignation of Sari Goldberg, Curriculum Associate. 

The District will now open up a search for the Assistant Principal. Please click the title to read the entire announcement.
