Good Afternoon Oysterponds Families, |
Please see below for some important updates and reminders. If you have any questions, please call the main office at 631-323-2410 x1 or reach out via ParentSquare. |
As we wrap up another wonderful school year, I want to thank our students, families, and staff for making our school such a special place. I hope everyone enjoys a safe, relaxing, and fun-filled summer. While you're making memories, don't forget to keep learning—read good books, ask questions, try new things, and explore the beautiful place we are lucky to call home.
Spend time outdoors, take a hike, watch a sunset, search for beach glass, and enjoy all that our community has to offer. Learning happens everywhere, and summer is a wonderful time to discover something new. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in September!
