Welcome to Commack's Parent Resource Center! This website was made with the mindset of offering parents and families a "one stop shop" for information and resources that may be helpful at home and in times where school is not in session. This site also serves as a hub where parents and families can find out about different workshops, information about our Northwell Partnership, and more. This site will be updated monthly, so please feel free to look around and keep an eye out for any updates!
