   will be open on Tuesday, May 22nd during lunch periods.

  The children will have the opportunity to purchase items such as fun pencils & pens, key chains, magnets, erasers, pencil sharpeners, coin purses etc. (prices range from 25¢ to $8.00).

  Spirit Wear is also on SALE (prices range from $10.00 to $35.00)!

  If you would like for your child to purchase item(s) from the School Store, please send money to school with your child in an envelope marked “School Store”.  Sorry but parents cannot shop with their children.

• Young Artists Share Their Talents

  Students throughout the Island Park Public Schools displayed their creative masterpieces on April 19 during the district’s annual Spring Art Show. Francis X. Hegarty Elementary School was transformed into a captivating art gallery that featured the talents and skills that have been cultivated in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8.

  Several Board of Education members and administrators, including Superintendent of Schools Dr. Rosmarie Bovino, viewed the works of art and students proudly showed their creations to their families and friends throughout the evening.

  Lincoln Orens Middle School students took the spotlight in the gymnasium and pieces created by the Studio in Art classes demonstrated  sophisticated techniques. Hegarty students’ projects encompassed a variety of styles inspired by famous artists in history such as Andy Warhol and Romero Britto. In addition to the various genres of paintings and illustrations that lined the hallways, an assortment of paper maché, wire and clay sculptures were showcased in the cafeteria.

• Hegarty Sets Aside Prime Time for Reading

  Francis X. Hegarty School students and their guests dedicated the night of March 15 to literacy through the Prime Time program. This initiative, held every two years, celebrates a love of reading and provides designated periods of time for students and their sponsoring adults to engage in reading-focused activities.

  A Prime Time Committee, comprised of faculty members, coordinated this event. Library Media Specialist Esta Jacobskind read the book, “Mouse TV,” by Matt Novack, and attendees took part in silent reading exercises. They then attended assigned workshop sessions in which students and parents crafted projects based on books.

  In addition to enjoying the event and finding motivation within themselves, the students witnessed firsthand the enthusiasm and value that adults attach to reading. This year’s Prime Time song was, “Read Every Day.”

• UPK Class Placement For Next Year

  Dear UPK Parents/Guardians,

  At this time of year, teachers and I begin to plan for the 2018-19 school year.  I ask that parents be aware that the teachers and I make careful decisions as we develop class assignments.  This process includes an analysis of student academic achievement as well as needs for social skills development.  Final decisions for student placements are based on considerations for developing balanced classes, which promote academic and social development for all children.

  Class placements are not simply based on parent requests.  Therefore, please understand that requests may not be able to be met.  If you have specific and serious concerns about your child/children, you should communicate with me in writing by Friday, May 4, 2018.

  Parents are asked not to approach teachers about assignments for next year, as they cannot be discussing placements with you.  Also, if you plan on moving out of the Island Park School District, please call the Hegarty main office at 516-434-2670 as soon as possible.

  Sincerely,

  Jacob M. Russum
  Principal
