Dear Parents, Residents and 

Community Members, 

When you work in education, you get to 

celebrate the New Year twice. And while the 

celebrations on December 31st are wonderful for 

bringing family and friends together, there is nothing 

like the excitement of a brand new school year. 

To help you keep track of the many events of 

the coming school year, the following pages contain 

the district calendar along with important information 

about some of our policies, the Board of Education, 

staff and PTA. 

I hope that you will be able to find some time 

to attend a Board of Education meeting or two this 

year. Board meetings take place at least once 

each month and are open to the public. Come, 

learn about the district’s goals and achievements, 

what we are doing about areas of concern and how we develop a budget. Then let 

us know what you think. 

Each of our buildings has a Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) and the district has 

a Central Council of PTAs. The hard-working members of these organizations sponsor 

cultural arts activities for students, curriculum presentations for parents and many 

activities that help foster a sense of community in our schools. Participating in PTA 

is a worthwhile and rewarding way to be involved in your child’s education. 

Our students are the greatest reason to celebrate. Throughout the year, they 

amaze us with their insight, creativity, commitment to community, talent, skill, kindness, 

and achievement. Come see for yourself at plays and concerts, math and science 

fairs, sporting events, Homecoming, the District Arts Festival and so much more. 

We look forward to celebrating a wonderful year with your terrific children. 

Please join us at the many school-related events throughout the year. 

Sincerely, 

Dr. Herb R. Brown

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 Mondays, 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.

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 

http://oceanside.k12.ny.us 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 $122,050,967 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 1,000 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. 

Prepaid Lunch Tickets: Prepaid lunch tickets, available for purchase in your school 

building, are a convenient way to insure that your child participates in the school lunch program. 

The tickets are valid until they are used; if your child is absent from school, his or her lunch ticket 

can be used upon the child’s return to school. You may purchase prepaid lunch tickets from 

the food service person in charge of your school’s cafeteria. 

Free or Reduced Price Meals: Children from households that meet federal income 

guidelines are eligible for free or reduced price meals. To apply for free or reduced price meals, 

you must complete an application, which is available in the main office of your school. Return 

the completed, signed application to your school’s main office. 

DISCIPLINE 

Discipline is vital to maintaining an environment in which learning may flourish. The goal of a 

school 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 selfdiscipline. 

Corporal punishment is not to be used as a means of punishment and 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 Bruce Misher at 

678-1221; for Section 504, call Ilene Brandon at 678-1218. 

LUNCH PROGRAM 

The district’s menus offer the greatest variety available in school lunches. Students may choose 

from more than 11 options each day. Menus meet nutritional guidelines for children established 

by the Federal Government. 

Food allergies, although relatively rare, are taken into consideration. Parents whose children 

have food allergies can request access to nutrition labels, which are stored on the computer, to 

identify which items their children should avoid. Questions regarding food allergies and the need 

for special consideration can be directed to Jane Blackburn, Director of Cafeteria Operations, at 

678-7548.

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 Mrs. 

Ilene Brandon, Assistant Superintendent for 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 14 & 15 • Feast of Immaculate Conception - December 8 

• Shemini Atzeret & • Ascension Thursday - May 21 

Simchat Torah - October 20 & 21 • Shavuot - May 29 (2nd day of Shavout is 

• All Saints Day - November 1 on a Saturday)

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 

the Assistant Superintendent for Special Education and Pupil Services, 145 Merle Avenue, 

Oceanside, NY 11572. For questions, you may call 678-1218 or 678-1219. 

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. 

GIFTED EDUCATION 

Oceanside has two programs that together form one gifted education continuum. Identified students 

in grades 4 - 6 attend Project Extra, and identified students in grades 7 - 8 attend Discovery. 

The primary purpose of Oceanside’s formal gifted education program is to provide a 

differentiated curriculum of challenging, interdisciplinary units of study through which children 

are encouraged to think divergently and critically, do independent research, and demonstrate 

values, sensitivity and leadership. 

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 

Students who are learning English as a new language will receive additional instruction in 

Oceanside’s districtwide English as a Second Language Program. 

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 

Oceanside has a unique itinerant Pupil Personnel program at the elementary level. In 

addition to the psychologists and social workers assigned to the elementary schools, a team 

(which includes a guidance counselor and a social worker) provides specific mental health 

services by visiting kindergarten through third grade classes in order to discuss such vital topics 

as self-esteem, personal safety, and feelings. A Health Education Teacher also serves on the Team. 

This member supports all Elementary teachers in the implementation of the Health curriculum. 

Parent education is also provided in a separate program of day and evening presentations. An 

informative newsletter to parents and staff is also published by the Elementary Health Team.

is to encourage the coordination of drug and alcohol abuse education materials and 

prevention programs within the district. Subcommittees include AIDS Advisory, Parent 

and Community Outreach, Student Projects, Prevention and Intervention. 

Technology Advisory Committee 

Parents, teachers, administrators and community members work together to set goals, review

PTA Program

excellent relationship within the district over the years that continues to prosper. The 

PTA has implemented many fine programs and events within the schools. In addition, 

the PTA has always demonstrated concern and dedication to the development of the 

whole child through tireless efforts and interest in school district policy and proceedings. 

Each member’s gift of time is rewarded through his or her knowledge that PTA is 

contributing to the excellence in education that has long been a trademark of the 

Oceanside Schools. 

In addition to school-based units, Oceanside PTA includes a unit entitled: SEPTA 

(Special Education Parent-Teacher Association). Oceanside SEPTA works toward the

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
