OCEANSIDE
2012-2013

Notification to persons in parental relation and staff pursuant to Section 409-H of the State Education Law*
Dear Parent, Guardian, and School Staff:
New York State Education Law Section 409-H, effective July 1, 2001, requires all public and non-public 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 Oceanside 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;
• anti-microbial products;
• nonvolatile rodenticides in tamper resistant bait stations in areas inaccessible to children;
• nonvolatile insecticidal baits 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 40CFR152.25;
• 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.
In the event of an emergency application necessary to protect against an imminent threat to human health, a good faith effort will be made to supply written notification to
those on the 48-hour prior notification list.
If you would like to receive 48-hour prior notification of pesticide applications that are scheduled to occur in your school, please complete the form below and return it to
R. Schloth, The Oceanside School District pesticide representative at: 145 Merle Avenue, Oceanside, NY 11572.
Please feel free to contact R. Schloth, the Oceanside School District pesticide representative, at: 516-594-2333

SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Dear Parents and Community Members,
Welcome to the start of a new year in
Oceanside’s schools! This School District
Calendar for 2012-13 is your guide to school
and districtwide events, contact information
for key staff and PTA, information on our
Board of Education, overview of some of our
policies and more.
We hope that you will use this guide to be
informed and involved in our schools. Our
Board of Education meets at least once a
month and welcomes your questions and your
ideas. PTAs host many family-oriented events
and fundraisers which support enriching
programs for our students. They would love DR. HERB R. BROWN
to see you at their meetings!
At back-to-school night, you will meet your children’s teachers and learn
about the upcoming year. P.A.S.S. sponsors informational seminars for
parents on important topics affecting children and young people.
We are fortunate to have an enthusiastic staff, who are always thinking of
new ways to engage students and promote their growth. Hence, there is no
shortage of events to join together as a community while our students amaze
us with their talent: sports, plays, math and science fairs, Homecoming, the
student film festival, concerts and so much more.
We know that families have many priorities to juggle and that is why we
offer a variety of avenues for involvement in our schools. We hope that some
of these will work for you and, should you have any ideas about how we can
do even better, please let me know.
Together, our schools and community prepare our youngsters for a bright
future. I look forward to seeing your children on the first day of school,
September 4, and hope that they enjoy an exciting school year.
Sincerely,
Dr. Herb R. Brown
Superintendent of Schools

BOARD OF EDUCATION
The BOARD OF EDUCATION is a policy-making body which governs the school district
in all educational matters. It has complete and final control over local school matters
subject only to pertinent state law, regulations and decisions of the State
Commissioner of Education, decisions of the courts, and the will of local residents as
expressed in district elections.
The Oceanside Board is comprised of seven district residents who are elected at the
annual school election, which is the third Tuesday in May. Two or three members are
elected each year to serve three year terms which begin on July 1. Board members receive
no salary or financial compensation of any kind for their services. They pay school taxes
at the regular rate.
A candidate for the Board must be a qualified voter of the District and must file a
nominating petition with the District Clerk not later than 30 days preceding the school
election. Each petition must be signed by at least twenty-five qualified voters of the district
OR two percent of the voters who voted in the previous election, whichever is
greater.
The BOARD appoints the SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS to serve as its executive
officer in administering its policies in the operation of the schools. The
Superintendent is responsible for informing and advising the Board on all matters. The
Superintendent’s recommendations normally precede Board action on matters relating to
recruitment and supervision of staff, selection of textbooks and instructional materials,
development of curriculum and the operation and maintenance of buildings and grounds.

BOARD MEETINGS
BOARD MEETINGS – Both regular and special meetings are scheduled in most months on
selected Tuesdays, 7:30 pm, in one of the schools or in the Administration Building, 145 Merle
Avenue. The dates and locations are listed in the Calendar and announced in the District
Newsletter and in local newspapers. Notice of all meetings is released to the news media to the
extent practicable and posted in the schools and at the Oceanside Library, 72 hours in advance,
OR call the Board Secretary, 678-1226, to verify a meeting. The law also provides for closed executive
sessions, but no action may be taken at such meetings. Board agenda and minutes can be
found on our website.
ANNUAL RE-ORGANIZATION MEETING – is held within the first two weeks of July,
7:30 pm, Board Room (unless changed by Board resolution). Board officers are elected, salaries of
appointed officers fixed, and business policy matters are set for the forthcoming year.
QUORUM – consists of four members. An affirmative vote of four members is required for action
to be taken. Abstention is considered a negative vote. The presiding officer may introduce or second
a motion and may vote on all issues. All official actions must be taken by resolution of the
Board at an open regular or special meeting.
Although all meetings, except executive sessions, are open to the public, the law makes no
provision for the public to make motions. However, the Board of Education encourages questions
and comments from those present at the appropriate time during the meeting.
CODE OF CONDUCT
In accordance with New York State legislation recently passed in Albany, our Board of Education
has established a Code of Conduct for the school district. This Code of Conduct is published in
the Agenda Book, given to all students in Grades 3 - 12, and will be distributed directly to parents
whose children are in Kindergarten, Grades 1 and 2.
The Code of Conduct underscores the commitment of the Board of Education to provide a
safe and orderly environment in which all children can learn and reach their potential. In order
to accomplish this goal, all members of the school community, teachers, students, parents, school
district personnel as well as visitors to our buildings, must behave in a civil, respectful and responsible
manner.
The Code of Conduct clearly defines expectations of acceptable conduct on school
property for students and all members of the school community. Students’ rights and
responsibilities are outlined. Board of Education and district policies, as well as building
procedures, are also explained.
The requirements of the district’s discipline code and the possible behavioral consequences of
unacceptable conduct are outlined by educational level (elementary, middle and high school) in
order to ensure fair treatment for all when disciplinary action is required. A provision of the original
legislation permitting teachers to remove disruptive students from class is also clearly
explained.
This Code of Conduct is presented to and shared with all of the district’s faculty and staff.
Students should review it with their teachers or guidance counselors. It is extremely
important, however, that parents also read and review it with their children. By working
together, all of us, with a shared understanding of what is expected of each of us, can create an
environment which reflects good citizenship, mutual respect, tolerance and the principles of
civility for all of Oceanside’s students.
DELAYED OPENING PLAN FOR OCEANSIDE SCHOOLS
The Oceanside Board of Education has approved a “delayed opening” plan in case of inclement
weather. A “delayed opening” might occur when it is obvious at 5 am or 6 am that a storm has
ended or is about to end, the streets have not yet been satisfactorily cleared, but the roads should
be safe for travel within a few hours. By delaying the opening of school by two hours, we would
be able to provide instruction to our students rather than close school for the entire day.
A delayed opening would simply open all schools exactly two hours after they would normally
open. The afternoon dismissals and bus schedules beyond the first two hours of the day
would remain unchanged in all schools. All buses to private and parochial schools would be
delayed by two hours.
TWO-HOUR DELAYED OPENING SCHEDULE

The School #6 Pre-K 8:30 to 11 am session would be cancelled. All other morning
sessions would begin at 10:30 am and end at their regular time.
EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSING
When weather or emergency requires closing the Oceanside Public Schools, the district will
notify parents via our automated
telephone contact system, on our
web site at oceansideschools.org
and/or via announcements on
WCBS radio (880 AM), WINS
radio (1010 AM), and News 12
Long Island (Cablevision’s
Channel 12).
When schools are closed for
inclement weather, the bus company
will not transport students
to private, parochial and other
special schools.

BUDGET
The Oceanside School District is supported by State Aid, Federal Aid, income from investments,
fees, etc., and a direct tax on real estate. The school budget is discussed at public hearings and
submitted to the voters at the annual election. (Taxes are levied on the net budget, the difference
between the gross budget and revenues received from the above-named sources, except for
real estate taxes.) The district’s budget of $133,999,620 is needed for the purchasing of district
supplies, materials, the payment of staff salaries and the maintenance of our buildings. Anyone
interested in details regarding the budget may call Public Information at 678-7525 to obtain
copies of the annual Budget Brochure.
STAFFING
The district staff includes nearly 1,200 full-time and part-time employees which includes teachers,
administrators, specialists, instructional and administrative assistants, nurses, occupational
therapists, secretarial and clerical employees, teacher aides, monitors/security personnel, cafeteria
workers, custodial and maintenance employees.
Oceanside is committed to the ongoing training of its professional staff. The Staff
Development Policy Board, comprised of teachers and administrators, operates a Teacher Center,
offers workshops, in-service courses and provides teachers with the opportunity to attend conferences
or visit other school districts. Teachers are eligible to receive internally funded grants of
money to conduct special projects or to write needed curriculum. Staff development remains a
priority in Oceanside, as a valuable component towards excellence in education.
STUDENT RECORDS
The Oceanside Public Schools shall collect and maintain student records to provide for the
growth and development of individual students, to provide information to parents and authorized
staff, and to provide a basis for the evaluation and improvement of school programs. The district
shall preserve the rights to privacy of students and parents.
CURRICULUM
To provide a greater assurance that all students will receive a common set of organized concepts,
Oceanside educators have developed specific curriculum objectives, instructional support materials,
and evaluation strategies designed to fit the needs of students in Oceanside. Designed to
support instructional effectiveness and student learning, the curriculum is revised on a periodic
basis with careful consideration given to teacher feedback, school district data, parental input,
and the New York State curriculum guidelines and new learning standards.
Parents of children who have food allergies may request access to nutrition labels, which
are stored digitally, to identify items that their children need to avoid. Call Jane Blackburn,
Director of Cafeteria Operations, at 678-7548, for questions and concerns related to food
allergies.
Free/Reduced Price Meals: Children from households that meet federal income
guidelines are eligible for free or reduced price meals, including breakfast and lunch. To apply,
contact your school’s main office for an application.
HOMELESSNESS
If your family becomes homeless, please contact the social worker in your home school to determine
what support you may receive from the school district.
DISCIPLINE
Discipline is vital to maintaining an environment in which learning may flourish. The goal of
the district’s discipline program is to teach students to behave properly without direct supervision.
Discipline must be used to educate or to establish useful habits as a step toward developing
self-discipline. Corporal punishment is prohibited. Members of the staff may use reasonable
physical force to restrain an individual from harming himself or others, or to remove an individual
from a situation in which his continued presence might lead to harm to himself or to others.
The District’s Code of Conduct further describes students’ rights and responsibilities, as well
as interventions and range of consequences for behavioral infractions in the school district.
TITLE IX, SECTION 504 AND
SEXUAL HARASSMENT COMPLAINTS
In accordance with Title IX, the Oceanside Union Free School District does not discriminate
on the basis of sex in its educational programs or employment practices. In
accordance with Section 504, the Oceanside Union Free School District does not discriminate
against persons with handicapping conditions in its educational programs or employment practices.
The School District is committed to the principle that all students and employees are entitled
to an environment free from all forms of sexual harassment. For administrative procedures
relating to grievances under Title IX or the policies on sexual harassment, call Robert Fenter at
678-1221; for Section 504, call Jill DeRosa at 678-1218.
LUNCH PROGRAM
The Oceanside Schools’ Food Service Department is pleased to offer a secure, family-friendly
system for online pre-payments and nutrition education through our new Nutrikids operating
system. MyNutrikids.com allows parents to deposit money into their child’s school meal plan,
track purchases, and view their balance. We will send letters home before school opens to
further explain and provide your child’s student ID# which is necessary to sign-up.
District lunch menus offer great variety and meet nutritional guidelines for children
established by the Federal Government. There are more than 11 options for students to choose
each day.

HEALTH SERVICES
Oceanside employs full-time nurses in every school building and a School District Doctor to
serve the health needs of all students. They work with students, parents and staff to maintain and
improve our children’s health and to detect deficiencies and/or disease. State Law prohibits the
dispensing of a medication, including aspirin, except by a written request of the parent and a
physician’s direct order. Under Public Health and Education Law, all children must be
immunized against communicable diseases, prior to entering school, as follows:
• 3 doses of diphtheria - containing toxoid (usually administered as DPT, DT or Td)
• 3 doses of oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) or enhanced inactivated poliovirus vaccine
(EIPV)
• 1 dose of mumps vaccine administered after 12 months of age
• 1 dose of rubella vaccine administered after 12 months of age
• 2 doses of measles vaccine, the first administered after 12 months of age and the second
after 15 months of age. Second dose must be given more than 30 days after the first dose.
• 3 doses of hepatitis B vaccine
• 2 doses of Varicella (Chicken Pox) vaccine
Proof of having adequate immunizations or of having had the disease is required in writing
and must be signed by a physician.
In addition, physical examinations are required for all new entrants and students in grades
one, three, seven, and ten. The Health Services program provides for physicals to be completed
by the School District Doctor for those children not examined by their family doctor. Parents
receive notification about and recommendations for the correction of identified deficiencies. No
remedial treatment may be provided by the school physician.
SCREENING
In compliance with State Regulations, all new school entrants are screened in order to
identify children who may possibly have an educational disability, or who may possibly be gifted.
The process identifies pupils who may need to be referred to appropriate school and/or medical
personnel for further diagnostic evaluation. All kindergarten entrants are screened in the spring
before they enter school for the first time.
INTERPRETERS FOR HEARING IMPAIRED PARENTS
It is the policy of the Board of Education to provide hearing impaired parents and guardians equal
opportunity for meaningful participation in school district meetings and activities. Written
requests for interpreters at no cost to parents, must be received at the office of Special Education
five days prior to the scheduled meeting or activity. For more information, please contact Special
Education and Pupil Services at 678-1218.
ATTENDANCE
Students are required to be in attendance at all times that school is in session unless
appropriately excused. Accurate records of student attendance shall be kept at all times.
Student attendance records shall be confidential and may not be released except under the
following conditions:
a) By written consent of either or both parents, or the person exercising parental authority
over the student involved;
b) Pursuant to a subpoena or court order duly served upon the District.
Details regarding the attendance policy are outlined in the Agenda Books.
INSTRUCTION ON DAYS OF LIMITED ATTENDANCE
From time to time, attendance in the Oceanside School District is noticeably affected by pupil
absence for a variety of reasons. Those reasons may include inclement weather, large
incidences of illness or observance of religious Holy Days. There is a responsibility on such days
for teachers to be sensitive to the type of instruction given and cognizant of their obligation to
all pupils, those in attendance and those who are absent.
On such days, operating procedures must enable all pupils to meet their academic
responsibilities without conflicting with the legitimate reasons for the absence. Normal
procedures for such days are described below.
1. There is a responsibility for instruction to take place for those in attendance.
2. No penalty shall be assessed against any student for being absent under these
circumstances.
3. Class procedures on these days should involve meaningful learning
experiences and may include activities such as review, enrichment, individualized
instruction, remediation, corrective instruction, individual or group diagnostic testing,
and those learning activities that can easily be made up by the absent student.
4. There should be no major examinations given, such as unit examinations or standardized
examinations. There should be no field trips or one time only special events. Classroom
teachers should not introduce work that cannot readily be made up by the students who
are absent.
5. It shall be the responsibility of the faculty and administration to make available an
equivalent opportunity for students to make up work requirements missed because of such
absence. It shall be the responsibility of the student, upon returning to class, to avail
himself/herself of the opportunity to make up all work.
Of course, school is not in session on many days of Religious
observance. Those days on which school is in session and on
which the above policy applies include:
• Sukkot - October 1 & 2
• Shemini Atzeret - October 9
• All Saints Day - November 1
• Ascension Thursday - May 9
• Shavuot - May 15 & 16

SPECIAL EDUCATION AND OTHER SPECIAL PROGRAMS
SPECIAL EDUCATION
In accordance with the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education, special education services
are provided to a student who is identified as having an educational disability. The Committee
on Special Education (CSE) is responsible for the referral, evaluation and placement of schoolage
students with educational disabilities. The Committee on Preschool Special Education
(CPSE) has similar responsibilities for preschool youngsters, ages 3-5.
The Oceanside School District provides a full continuum of special education and related
services for school age students. Special education services may include resource room, consultant
teacher, special class placements and integrated settings. Related services may include
speech/language therapy, counseling, services for the deaf and hearing impaired, physical therapy
and occupational therapy.
Parents/Guardians who suspect that their child may have an educational disability and
require special education services may initiate a referral by writing to the building principal or

SECTION 504
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act provides for reasonable accommodations for students who
have a mental or physical impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities.
Each school has a Section 504 Team, which is responsible for determining a student’s initial
eligibility for accommodations and for periodically reviewing the student’s functioning to determine
ongoing needs. Parents/Guardians who suspect their child may have a disability that
requires Section 504 accommodations should initiate a referral in writing to the building principal.
Questions about Section 504 and appeals of Section 504 decisions should be directed to the
Assistant Superintendent for Special Education and Pupil Services, 145 Merle Avenue,
Oceanside, NY 11572. You may also call 678-1218 or 678-1219 with questions.
ENRICHMENT/GIFTED EDUCATION
Project Extra, the district’s elementary Enrichment/Gifted Education program for identified students
in grades 4-6, provides engaging learning experiences to challenge students’ intellectual
and creative abilities. The middle school Enrichment Program provides recommended students
with an opportunity to study a specific subject in depth through research and exploration.
Subjects include Science Research, Math Research, Great Books, Art Enrichment, Music
Theory and Social Sciences Research (Gr. 8 only).
SPEECH AND LANGUAGE SERVICES
Speech and Language Services are provided by speech and language teachers to those
children whose speech and language development is delayed or disordered. In addition to
mandated services for students determined to have a speech or language disability, children,
according to priority needs and staffing availability, may be seen by the speech and language
teacher for support and/or remediation in the following areas: listening skills, auditory
perceptual skills, language development, expression of ideas, fluency, voice and articulation.
HOMEBOUND INSTRUCTION
Homebound instruction is provided to students who are temporarily unable to attend school
because of injury or illness. A physician’s note is required. Applications should be made to the
school nurse for grades K - 6 and the guidance counselor for grades 7 - 12.
ESL

Program to eligible students.
PUPIL PERSONNEL SERVICES
Oceanside Pupil Personnel Services are intended to help all students grow and develop
emotionally as well as academically. Services are aimed at helping students make mature
educational, vocational and social decisions, maintain physical and emotional well-being, and
deal with individual problems.
SCHOOL COUNSELING SERVICES
Guidance Counselors provide students an opportunity to discuss and explore their abilities,
needs, difficulties, and aspirations. They are concerned with each student’s social and academic
growth and adjustment in school and beyond. Counselors provide help to students in making
school transitions, understanding career choices, selecting courses of study, exploring special
programs, applying to colleges, and seeking additional supportive services when appropriate.
PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
School psychology focuses on the intellectual and emotional factors that influence a
student’s learning process. One basic responsibility of a school psychologist is to help determine
the reasons for an individual pupil’s difficulties in school. Psychologists provide assistance to
pupils, parents, teachers, and administrators in efforts to address children’s learning and
adjustment needs. Referrals to a school psychologist may be made by school personnel or parents
through their principal or by directly contacting the school psychologist. Written parental consent
always precedes a psychological evaluation.
SOCIAL WORK SERVICES
School Social Workers assist students, families, and staff by offering consultations, visiting
homes, providing group and individual counseling, making referrals to outside agencies when
appropriate, and utilizing community resources.
THE ELEMENTARY HEALTH TEAM
The Oceanside School district is pleased to offer a comprehensive elementary health education
program designed to help students develop healthy and productive behavior. In grades K-3, a
social worker teaches students about personal safety and emotional well-being (SEL). Physical
education teachers instruct 4th grade students on personal hygiene and fitness. Classroom teachers
provide 5th grade students with lessons on the skills necessary to deal with issues of bullying.
In 5th grade, students also are taught about puberty and their own physical development. Finally,
in grade 6, social workers teach about the dangers of substance use.

Association) is an organization whose members include: parents,
caregivers, teachers, and therapists of exceptional children as well as

exceptional children in the school community; and to educate and
sensitize the Oceanside School community to children who are differently-abled.
