December 2024
Dear Shelter Island School Community:
It has been a wonderful beginning of the school year and end to the calendar year. The holiday season is upon us. The Town Tree Lighting Ceremony was very well attended. Our concerts have been joyful and festive. We have a door decorating contest, ugly sweater contest, and Reindeer games to look forward to. And, of course, our famous Holiday Boutique takes place in just about a week. We certainly have a great deal to be thankful for.
December is also the month of our Science Fair. This happens to be the 60th year! I am so proud of how hard our children are working. As I had mentioned to you earlier in the year, our elementary staff has collaborated on curricular alignment in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math over the past two years. This year, that effort is expanding horizontally into Science. I am also happy to let you know that our secondary Science department and elementary team have been diligent in all things curriculum. You should see the fruits of this labor very soon.
I would like to thank you for your constant support of the school. This is a special place during the most wonderful time of the year. If I can ever be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Happy Holidays and a Joyful New Year,
Brian Doelger, Ed.D.
Superintendent
