Dear Islip Families:

It is with great excitement that I welcome you to the 2025-2026 school year. I am happy to share that our students have all arrived, are in class, and are already engaged in exciting and meaningful work.

The year ahead offers unprecedented opportunities for Islip students in an environment that is welcoming, safe, supportive, and encouraging. Together, we look forward to fostering growth - emotionally, socially, and academically - while celebrating the many successes that await.

Please see the warm greeting and welcome message from our Board of Education through the link below. They, too, see our students' unlimited potential and are a great asset to this lovely community.

I thank you for your continued partnership, cooperation, and support as we work together to continuously improve our school district, change students' life trajectories, and empower them to be leaders of tomorrow.

Please contact me with your concerns, questions, and insights. Welcome to the new school year.



Sincerely,
Dennis P. O'Hara, Ed.D.
