WELCOME TO BEACH STREET MIDDLE SCHOOL
Welcome, Sixth Graders!
Dear Incoming Sixth Grade Students and Parents,
Beach Street is so excited to welcome you to our school, and we cannot wait to meet you in September! Although the school year might continue to look a little different, we are West Islip Strong and going to get through any and all challenges together. Because we are unable to hold our normal orientation program in person, we have created this virtual orientation platform to welcome you to Beach Street and get you familiar with your soon-to-be new home. We hope that you are as excited as we are to start the sixth grade at Beach Street next school-year!
On this site, you will meet our building principals, school support staff and the sixth grade teachers! You will also see some fun videos and pictures of different things that go on at our school. So, get excited!
We are all extremely excited for you join us in September. Our motto is "Beach Street Pride," because at our school, we are a proud family that sticks together, no matter what, as one #beachstreetpride!
See you soon, Middle Schooler!
#BEACHSTREETPRIDE
TOGETHER, BEACH STREET STANDS STRONG.
COVID-19 has certainly changed what our school might look like, but as you will see in this video,
our middle school experience still remains #beachstreetstrong.
