  • FXH students enjoy virtual author read and study

    Students at FXH recently had the opportunity to participate in a special Author Study and Book Reading event with renowned children’s authors Kwame Alexander and Mo Willems.

    The authors read from their beloved children's books, engaging students with the story and then guiding them through a brief lesson focused on character development. The session gave students a unique chance to learn directly from an accomplished author and explore the creative process.

    The virtual event provided an exciting opportunity for students to connect with two celebrated authors, enriching their understanding of literature and inspiring their own creativity.

  • Author and Illustrator Douglas Florian Visits Francis X. Hegarty School

    Students at Francis X. Hegarty Elementary School were treated to an unforgettable visit from acclaimed author and illustrator Douglas Florian on Feb. 26. Florian, best known for his engaging children’s books that blend art, poetry, and wordplay, spent the morning inspiring young minds with a lively and interactive presentation on the creative process behind his works.

    During his discussion, Florian captivated students by reading his poems aloud, incorporating elements of rhythm, alliteration, rhyme, and onomatopoeia. His energetic, rhyming interactions encouraged the students to participate, repeating his poems and embracing the joy of language. Florian’s engaging approach brought his stories to life as he showcased vibrant, larger-than-life illustrations from his books.

    A highlight of the assembly was when Florian invited students to guess the animals illustrated in several of his drawings. This hands-on activity not only sparked curiosity but also reinforced the importance of observation and creativity in both art and writing.

    Florian’s work often draws inspiration from the natural world, utilizing wordplay, neologisms, rhyme, and humor to captivate young readers. His celebrated books, including Insectlopedia, Beast Feast, UnBEElievables, and Dinothesaurus, are beloved by children and educators alike for their clever integration of art and poetry.

    What’s happening?

    At a time when expenditures continue to rise beyond the district's control, federal COVID funds are set to expire, and the school district continues to deal with the aftermath of the LIPA/Nassau County Tax Certiorari Settlement with respect to the E.F. Barrett Power Plant, the $118,000 reduction in state aid proposed by Governor Hochul could have long-lasting results for our schools.

    What can you do?

    Contact Governor Hochul and our elected officials and help advocate for the full restoration of state aid for the Island Park UFSD.

  • Uniforms

    Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s) of Students in Grades 6, 7, and 8: 

    Beginning in grade 6, our students are expected to change into “gym clothing” for their Physical Education classes.   This requirement addresses issues related to basic hygiene.   These concerns have indicated the need for specific attire to be worn during physical activities when young adults are prone to perspire.  Physical education attire at Lincoln Orens Middle School consists of navy blue athletic shorts (7” seam) and a grey short-sleeved cotton tee shirt. You may purchase these items in whatever store or through whatever catalog you choose. 

    PTA has made arrangements to organize these purchases at a reasonable price through the Island-Park vendor, E-Van Creations.  Items purchased will have the “Island Park Phys Ed” logo written on both the tee-shirt and the shorts.   Please see the attached flyer detailing the cost and available sizes.     

    If you would like to purchase either of these items, complete and forward your order form (see attachment) with a check, payable to “Island Park PTA”, by September 29th   and return to the school in an envelope marked, “Island Park PTA”.     When your order has arrived, it will be distributed to your child at the school.   If you have any questions, please contact Christina Torres at: islandparkpta11558@gmail.com. 

    Please be sure to mark your child’s name on all garments, using a permanent marker.    

    Our gym clothing dress code will begin November 1, 2023.   Please note, however, that students who order Island Park gym clothing are required to change into their own physical education attire until their uniform order arrives.   

    Sincerely, 

    Bruce Hoffman, Ed.D. 
    Principal
