Backpack Mail
As part of the District’s efforts to “go green,” notices and flyers previously
sent home with your child are posted on the Backpack News page
on the Website to save paper and decrease mailing costs. Please check that
page regularly for your child's school, and subscribe to the RSS Feed
found at www.commackschools.org/backpack/.

Unless objection to any of the following items of information is submitted
in writing by parents or legal guardians, or by those students themselves
who are over the age of 18 years, the Commack School District
hereby gives notice of its intention to provide the release to parent/
teacher associations and representatives of the district's insurance carriers,
entities providing educational, occupational, or career opportunities,
or to publish in the Commack Courier, school student newspapers,
magazines, yearbooks, or other publications, daily or weekly newspapers,
athletic programs, musical or theatrical programs, news releases, any and/

under the circumstances: name of student, address, age, height,

activities, extracurricular activities and sports programs, academic honors,

Pursuant to federal law, the District is required to provide military recruiters,
upon request, with three directory information categories: name,

that they do not want their student’s information disclosed without their
prior written consent.
Parents, guardians or students over 18 years of age who object to the
release of directory information should give written notice to the
Superintendent of Schools within 30 days hence. Failure to give written
notice shall be deemed consent.
