Dear Parents and Community Residents,
Welcome to the 2014/2015 school year! We
look forward to an exciting year for all of our
students. During the past year, our students
achieved at many levels, earning awards in
academics, arts, athletics and extracurricular
venues. Our graduating students were accepted to
many prestigious colleges and universities with 97% enrolling in institutions of
higher learning. Our District continues to be committed to providing varied and
exceptional learning opportunities for all of our students.
In doing so, we encourage parents and community residents to join us for
special events and programs listed on the school calendar, which will allow you
to experience firsthand our wonderful students and staff. This calendar, which
includes a Parent Guide, is one avenue of communication with our community.
In addition, we ask that you frequently visit our District website and Facebook
page for the most up-to-date information regarding student accomplishments and
District events. You might also consider registering for our E-mail Blasts via the
home page of the District website.
Our Infinite Campus Portal is another primary means of communication with
parents of school-aged children. On the Portal, you can learn about your child’s
school, programs and see what your child is learning. You can also monitor your
child’s grades and assignments and assist him/her in maintaining good grades
through on-time completion of assigned tasks. Beginning this year, student
report cards will be available through the Parent Portal and not mailed to homes.
Further information regarding this process will be forwarded to you. If you have
not already done so, please be sure to sign on to the Parent Portal this school
year.
We also encourage you to become involved in our school community through
participation in the PTA, SEPTA, Athletic Booster Club and/or supporting your
child’s involvement in extracurricular activities. Finally, please be sure to attend
parent Open School Night and parent/teacher conferences, as we can assure
excellence for all children in our community by working together for their common
good.
BOARD OF EDUCATION
The Board of Education establishes policies and adopts regulations for
the conduct of the public schools. Its seven members, who serve without
pay, are elected by the qualified voters of the District for a term of three
years. Responsibility for administering Board policies is vested in the
Superintendent of Schools.
BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETINGS
There are usually two regular meetings of the Board of Education each
month. The public is invited to all the meetings, which are held in the James
Baxter Board Room, Tuesdays at 8:00 pm, except where noted. The 20142015 regularly scheduled meetings are:
September 16
October 7 and 21
November 18
December 9
January 13 and 27
February 10 and 24
March 3, 17 and 24
April 14
May 5 and 19*
June 2 and 16
July 7 (Organizational Meeting)
*Meeting will commence at 10:00 pm
On behalf of the Board of Education and staff in the District, my best to you
and your child(ren) for a wonderful 2014/15 school year.
Sincerely,
Patricia Sullivan-Kriss

BOARD OF EDUCATION
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT
POLICY #1900
The Board of Education believes that parent
involvement is essential to student achievement, and
thus encourages such involvement in school educational
planning and operations. Parental involvement may
take place either in the classroom or during
extracurricular activities.
However, the Board also
encourages parental involvement at home (i.e., planned
home reading time, informal learning activities, and/or
homework
“contracts”
between
parents
and
children).The Board directs the Superintendent of
Schools to develop a home-school communications
program in an effort to encourage all forms of parental
involvement. To assure compliance with federal Title I
guidelines, the Board further directs the administration to
implement programs, activities, and procedures to
achieve parental involvement in planning, designing, and
implementing such programs pursuant to requirements
contained in Title I and NCLB (No Child Left Behind)
law and regulations. All such programs, policies, and
guidelines are intended to strengthen the relationship
between home and school.
THE EDUCATION PROGRAM
The administration of the District’s educational
program is the responsibility of the Superintendent.
She is supported by a staff that includes an Assistant
Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction and
Technology; Assistant Superintendent for Personnel
and Administration; Assistant Superintendent for
Business and Operations, and other administrators.
The District provides courses of study in art,
business, dance, health, home & careers, English
Language Arts, mathematics, music, physical
education, reading and study skills, science, second
languages, social sciences, special education,
technology education, and theatre. The curricula in
each department is routinely reviewed and revised to
reflect changes in New York State standards and
instructional practices. Pupil personnel, psychological,
and testing services are also available to students in
addition to a host of co-curricular and athletic activities.

NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT
COMPLIANCE
In accordance with the No Child Left Behind Act, New
York State Commissioner’s regulations require that
districts provide Academic Intervention Services (AIS) to
eligible students to support them in meeting NY State
Standards. Accordingly, students in grades K-12
recommended for AIS support based upon the district
adopted criteria will be scheduled to receive academic
intervention. These services are provided through flexible
grouping, pull-out, or push-in models to prepare students
for the English Language Arts (ELA), math, social studies
and/or science assessments. Parents are informed in
writing of their child’s need for AIS and of the requirement
that students be enrolled in those classes. Continued
communication with parents regarding students’ progress
occurs at least four times per year.
SCHOOL LUNCH
Each of the District’s schools maintains modern kitchen
facilities in order to provide lunches as prescribed by the
NYS Education Department. Although the purchase of
lunch is voluntary, it has been generally recommended
that students take advantage of the opportunity because
of the variety and balance maintained. The purchase of
milk is made available to all students.
The School District utilizes a computerized point-ofsale system, Nutrikids®, in all of its cafeterias to provide
greater service and a more accurate accounting of
student meals for parents. All students may purchase
their meals with their ID card or number instead of cash.
This program features an easy and secure online
prepayment system and allows parents to monitor their
child’s food choices. For more information, visit the
website or call the lunch office at 761-8364.
HOMEBOUND INSTRUCTION
Students who are unable to attend school for an
extended period of time due to illness or accident are
eligible for limited homebound instruction by a tutor
provided by the School District when it is possible to
supply such service. Parent/guardians must submit a
medical physician’s note stating that the student is
unable to attend school for at least 10 school days from
the date the note is received by the school nurse.
INSTRUCTIONAL
SUPPORT TEAMS
The Hauppauge School District operates Instructional
Support Teams (IST), comprised of members of the
teaching, administrative, and support staff in each school
building.
The purpose of the IST is to support
instructional staff and students by planning effective
mainstream-based instructional strategies for students
who are not attaining State Standards and/or are having
difficulties in mastering core content materials. The IST
model uses a collaborative approach to problem solving.
TUTORIAL ASSISTANCE
Each teacher in the District will provide extra help to
students who need support in meeting grade level/course
standards and goals. Teachers will provide parents with
a schedule of their extra help sessions with dates and
times. Additionally, parents/students may schedule an
appointment.
SPORTS AND ATHLETICS
The School District provides an assortment of athletic
programs for all middle and high school students. A
program of intramural sports is open to children in the
upper elementary grades. In addition to the sports
physicals required to participate in intramural sports
being administered by the school doctor, they may also
be administered by family physicians utilizing the form
obtained from the school nurse.

HEALTH INFORMATION
PESTICIDE NOTIFICATION
ASBESTOS NOTIFICATION
Initial Notification to Persons in Parental Relation and
Staff Pursuant To Section 409-H of the NY State Education
Law.
New York Education Law Section 409-H, effective
July 1, 2001, requires all public and nonpublic elementary
and secondary schools to provide written notification to all
persons in parental relation, faculty, and staff regarding the
potential use of pesticides periodically throughout the
school year.
The Hauppauge School District is required to maintain a
list of persons in parental relation, faculty, and staff who
wish to receive 48-hour prior written notification of certain
pesticide applications. The following pesticide applications
are not subject to prior notification requirements: a school
remains unoccupied for a continuous 72 hours following an
application; antimicrobial products; nonvolatile rodenticides
in tamper-resistant bait stations in areas inaccessible to
children; silica gels and other nonvolatile ready-to-use
pastes, foams, or gels in areas inaccessible to children;
boric acid and disodium octaborate tetrahydrate; the
application
of
EPA-designated
biopesticides;
the
application of EPA-designated exempt materials under 40
CFR 152.25, the use of aerosol products with a directed
spray in containers of 18 fluid ounces or less when used to
protect individuals from an imminent threat from stinging
and biting insects including venomous spiders, bees,
wasps, and hornets.
The Hauppauge School District has utilized an
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program over the past
ten years. The very purpose of an IPM program is to
restrict or eliminate entirely, the use of pesticides in or
around District facilities.
The District’s IPM program includes the services of a
contracted firm that is an expert in integrated pest
management. This firm conducts monthly inspections of all
District facilities and takes appropriate remedial measures
to eliminate or reduce the presence of insects or other
pests.
While the District does not anticipate any situation where
there will be a need to provide notification of a pesticide

HEALTH SERVICES
EMERGENCY CONTACT PROCEDURE
In the event of an accident, first aid is administered
immediately. Every effort is made to contact the
parent/guardian. If parents/guardians are unavailable,
the student’s emergency contacts will be called.
STUDENT ACCIDENT INSURANCE
The students in the Hauppauge School District are
covered under a limited coverage school-time plan of
insurance against accidental injury. Benefits will be
considered for that part of a medical expense not covered
by any other parental insurance plan. Any student who
has an accident in a school building or on the school
grounds must file a report with the school nurse.
MEDICATION
Prescription and over-the-counter medication may not
be administered in school unless accompanied by a
physician’s note regarding frequency and dosage and a
parent’s written request. All medication must be brought
to and from school by an adult. Medication should never
be sent to school with a student.
IMMUNIZATIONS & COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
New York State Public Heath Laws require that all
children entering school must present a physician’s
certificate indicating that the student has been immunized
against Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Diphtheria,
Pertussis, Tetanus, Hepatitis B Series, Varicella, and
Tdap booster. (Varicella is needed only if born on or after
1/1/98 or entering grade 6 after 9/1/05. Tdap booster is
needed if born on or after 1/1/94 and entering grade 6 on
or after 9/1/07). This certificate must be submitted to
your school prior to the opening day of school in
September. By law, no child may be admitted to school
unless the certificate is on file.
PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS
New York State Education Law requires all students to
have a physical examination upon entering the school
district and in grades Kindergarten, 2, 4, 7, and 10. If the
cost of the exam is prohibitive, contact the school nurse’s
office to avail your family of any of the several scheduled
examinations with the school physician during the school
year.
BMI INFORMATION
As part of a required school health examination, a
student is weighed and his/her height is measured.
These numbers are used to figure out the student’s body
mass index or “BMI.” The BMI helps the doctor or nurse
know if the student’s weight is in a healthy range or is too
high or too low. A sample of school districts will be
selected to take part in a survey by the NYS Department
of Health. If our school is selected to be part of the
survey, we will be reporting to the NYS Department of
Health information about our students’ weight status
groups. ONLY SUMMARY INFORMATION IS SENT.
No names and no information about individual students
are sent. Please notify your child’s school nurse if you do
not want your child’s BMI information included in the
survey.
WELLNESS POLICY
Throughout the school year, there may be
opportunities for your child to purchase or consume food
that is prepared in private homes.
If your child has any food allergies that may restrict his
or her ability to buy or consume these products, please
be sure to notify the nurse in your child’s school.
Additionally, if you have any concerns, please speak with
your child’s teacher.

DISTRICT GUIDELINES
ATTENDANCE
New York State Education Law permits excused
absences or tardiness only for the following reasons:
1. Sickness or death in the family
2. Impassable roads or weather, making travel unsafe
3. Religious observance
4. Sickness requiring attendance at a medical clinic
5. Approved school-sponsored trips
6. Quarantine
7. Required court appearances
Absence or tardiness for any other reason is considered
unexcused. Parents are requested to advise the school by
telephone when a child is absent. A written excuse,
signed by the parent, is necessary when the student
returns to school from an absence or tardiness before it
can be recorded as an excused absence. Students are
expected to be in school on time every day for the full day.
Studies show that poor attendance is the reason most
students fail or drop out of high school. Parents, please
help us to develop this lifelong, valuable worth ethic. It is
important!
Parents should emphasize the harmful effects of
frequent absence or tardiness. Along with careless work
habits, loss of instructional time occurs. Parents are urged
to give this matter serious attention.
CODE OF CONDUCT NOTICE
A summary of the Hauppauge School District’s Code
Conduct will be distributed to parents annually as a part
the August school mailing.
The complete Code
Conduct is available on the District website
http://www.hauppauge.k12.ny.us.
VISITORS
You are always welcome in our schools. Please go
directly to school security personnel and report your
presence and reason for being in the building. This
request is made to aid you, to prevent the interruption of
classes, and to prevent unauthorized individuals from
entering our schools.

DIGNITY FOR ALL STUDENTS
ACT
The Dignity for All Students Act took effect on July 1,
2012. The ultimate goal of the Dignity Act is to provide
public elementary and secondary school students with a
safe and supportive environment free from discrimination,
intimidation, taunting, harassment, and bullying on school
property, on the school bus, and/or at school
functions/zones. All building Principals have been
designated as the Dignity Act Coordinators. Required
updates to reflect the Dignity for All Students Act have
been incorporated into Board of Education Policies and
the Code of Conduct.
SMOKING AND TOBACCO USE
In accordance with Board of Education policy and State
and Federal laws, smoking by students or adults in school
buildings or on school grounds is prohibited. Students
shall abide by the appropriate regulations regarding
smoking at public events and out-of-school social events.
There shall be no smoking on school buses. There shall
be no smoking by students at any school function (on or
off campus).
NOTICE OF
NON-DISCRIMINATION
To ensure compliance with Federal and State
regulations, the Hauppauge Union Free School District
has identified the Assistant Superintendent for Personnel
& Administration, Joseph C. Tasman, and James J.
Stucchio, Assistant Superintendent for Business &
Operations, as the Title IX Compliance Officers. Title IX
deals with areas of discrimination involving age, sex,
religion, national origin, and disability. Principals are
designated Compliance Officers at their buildings.
SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY
In order to quickly and efficiently communicate with
community members regarding registered sex offenders
who have recently moved within the Hauppauge School
District boundaries, the District will now send notifications
to the community using Email Blast and the District
website. Community members will be directed to the
Parents for Megan’s Law website and the NYS Division of
Criminal Justice Services website for specific information
regarding the registered offenders. Therefore, be sure

USE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL &
WEAPONS
1. Any student attending school in the Hauppauge
Union Free School District who possesses, uses,
dispenses, or sells drugs, alcohol, or weapons on
District property, or while otherwise under the
jurisdiction of said District shall, upon evidence
that is satisfactory to the school authorities, be
suspended immediately for five days by his or her
building Principal. (Weapon possession carries
an automatic one-year suspension from school).
2. During this suspension, a plan of action to deal
with the student’s problem will be developed with
the Building Principal. The parents or guardian
will be invited to participate in formulation of the
plan.
3. If the same student should be involved again in
possessing, using, dispensing, or selling drugs
and/or alcohol, upon evidence that is satisfactory
to the school authorities, such behavior will be
grounds for disciplinary charges against the
student in accordance with the law, with a view
toward suspending that student from the District
for a period ranging from a minimum of six (6)
weeks to the balance of the school year via a
Superintendent’s Hearing. Evidence of out-ofschool psychiatric or psychological evaluation or
other appropriate counseling may be considered
in determining an appropriate period of
suspension.
4. When a student is suspended, the District will
supply a bona fide program of home instruction
for that individual for the time that he or she is
suspended, as may be required by law.
34
HAUPPAUGE SCHOOLS 2014-2015
5. Suspension shall be explained to the parent at the
time of the initial offense. Suspension for the
remainder of the school year means that the child
shall no longer be allowed to attend school in the
Hauppauge School District. It must be made clear
that if a student appears on school property during
the duration of the suspension, he or she may be
arrested and criminally charged.

involves the educational program or activities of a school,
the Building Principal should be contacted directly.

choose to contact the Office of the Superintendent of
Schools.

EMERGENCY SCHOOL
CLOSING/DELAYED OPENING
In the event that a school closing, delayed
opening or early dismissal is needed due to
inclement weather or hazardous road conditions,
announcements will be made on the District
website: http://www.hauppauge.k12.ny.us and over
the following radio/TV stations:
it will be the parents’ responsibility to notify the
school to keep the child at school in the event that
an adult will not be available to pick the child up at
the bus stop.
In the event of inclement weather which does
not require early dismissal, all parents should
PARENT-TEACHER ORGANIZATIONS

Whenever you are in doubt about the schools
being open, you are urged to listen to these
radio/TV stations; please do not telephone the
school office on these occasions in order to
avoid congestion of vital open lines during the
crucial early hours.
When the schools are closed due to emergency
conditions, the before-school and after-school
programs are canceled.
If weather predictions indicate that early morning
storm conditions will clear shortly, delayed opening
procedures may be implemented. Depending on
weather conditions, bus pickups for all schools will
begin one or two hours later than the regular
schedule. The delayed opening schedule will only
be used when road and weather conditions are
expected to improve after the very early morning
hours.
At times, early dismissal of schools may be
necessary due to threatening weather conditions or
other emergencies such as loss of heat or electrical
power. When there is a need to close schools early
due to an emergency situation, parents/guardians
will be notified by a computerized phone call
system. It is imperative that parents/guardians
develop plans for their children in the event of such
an emergency closing. Specifically, children should
know the names of designated adults who can
meet them at the bus stop. At the elementary level,
anticipate that buses will be delayed. Parents will
NOT be notified by the school of these delays.

information even if you were temporarily absent, or if
the school your children attended was not in the

Adjusted gross income is assigned to school
districts and is used as a wealth measure in various
formulas for the apportionment of State aid, based on
tax codes entered on tax returns.

Fast Facts
The Hauppauge Union Free School District,
which consistently maintains its reputation for
outstanding academic, athletic, and artistic
achievements, is the twenty-sixth largest of
Suffolk County’s sixty-nine school systems
educating students in kindergarten through
twelfth grade. There are approximately 3,900
students in the public schools and more than
150 students in private and parochial schools.
Located 45 miles east of New York City, the
District’s fifteen square miles straddle the
common boundary line of the Towns of Islip
and Smithtown. Intersected by the Long Island
Expressway,
Northern
State
Parkway.
Nesconset Highway (Smithtown By-Pass), and
Veterans Memorial Highway, Hauppauge has
become a highly desirable business location.
The attractiveness of this location, in both
convenience and natural beauty, has swelled
the population of the area to more than 20,000,
drawn industry to some of the county’s most
modern and fastest-growing industrial parks,
and lured many of the local government offices
to what would appear to be Western Suffolk’s
future hub.
The presence of industries in the
Hauppauge, Marcus, and Vanderbilt Industrial
Parks has provided a healthy tax base from
which the School District benefits.
Residents have available to them the
advantages of modern community shopping
centers, schools, houses of worship, hospitals,
beaches and parks, and the simplicity of familycentered athletic, social, and cultural activities.
