September 2021 Instructional Update

September 1, 2021

***Please see updated Extra Help Schedule and Remote Learning Plan Below



Hello Parents and Students:


Welcome, welcome, welcome back!!! Hope everyone has had an amazing summer!!!

We are going to definitely have an amazing and obviously unique opening to school this year. Keep in mind that all of us are experiencing an historical time in the world. We are pioneers of the future. We are bound together as a generation because of this experience. Oh, the stories you will be able to tell.

I have been teaching in the district for 20+ years. I am an Oquenock, Udall & Beach Street student and a West Islip High School graduate. I love animals and have a big old pit bull named Murphy. I love American History because I had great teachers from West Islip.

I will do my very best to keep you interested and of course laughing during the year. I teach both 7th and 8th grade. This will be a very exciting year.

Supplies needed for our class include:

1 -inch binder or you can share a binder with other classes

A small amount of loose leaf paper

Pens/pencils and highlighters for class each day

All assignments will be posted in Google Classroom and also explained in class. Be sure to check your classroom daily! I am available by email or phone every school day to answer questions from both students and parents. Please just email me at d.pulitano@wi.k12.ny.us. I am always available for extra help if you need it.
