Principal's Message

Welcome to Wing Elementary School!  As the only primary school in the district, we provide the first public educational experience for over 400 kindergarten and first grade students in our school.  Our staff is committed to ensuring that the students and their families feel safe, secure and nurtured as they begin their educational journey.

We are dedicated to the Islip School District’s Mission Statement:  “The Islip Schools, in partnership with the community will empower all students to achieve excellence.”  Our goal is for each student to master the skills needed to be a lifelong learner and to understand the joy and power of learning.

English language arts skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) are the cornerstone of education at Wing.  All activities are connected to these communication tools, and we are proud to have been awarded the Suffolk County Reading Association’s Honor School banner every year since we opened in 1992!

Our full-day kindergarten program, as research shows, is of great benefit to our youngest learners academically and socially.  This growth continues and is magnified in first-grade learning.  Our Character Education initiatives encourage all students to make good choices.

As we embark on to the new school year we look forward to continuing the many programs that have been successful in the past.  We will focus on the New York State Standards in English Language Arts, Math, Science and Technology as well as Social Studies, Physical Education, and the Arts,  Our state-of-the-art library and computer lab will further students’ opportunities for growth and joyful learning.  Our library has an electronic accessing system which enables the children as well as parents to peruse all books available to students in ALL ISLIP SCHOOLS.  You may access this information at home via the web at htt;://destiny.islipufsd.org.  This electronic database system is similar to the one utilized in the Islip Public Library.

Wing School also takes great pride in having been named a National PTA School of Excellence for Parent Involvement, based on a rigorous list of standards.  We continue to be committed to our partnership with parents for we know that is an essential ingredient for student success.
