STUDENT HANDBOOK
MISSION STATEMENT
The West Islip Community is committed to excellence in education through the establishment of an academic, vocational and social environment in which all children can learn and succeed. Our students will be provided the opportunity to develop their self-esteem and a respect for others while acquiring the knowledge, skills and attitudes to become responsible citizens in a rapidly changing world. Our goal is to have students think in global terms and develop cultural sensitivity and international orientation. We seek to instill in our students the ability to share their commonalities, celebrate their differences, and appreciate that learning is a lifelong process.

PRINCIPALS' MESSAGE
We are delighted to welcome you to the 2022-2023 school year. We hope that the students, parents and staff can continue to work together to create a community of learners – where acquiring knowledge involves commitment, motivation, responsibility, and inclusiveness. We encourage you and your parents to participate fully in our curricular and extracurricular activities in order to make your social and academic experiences as rich and meaningful as possible.
Since learning is a discovery process, we hope that you can successfully discover: who you are; what it takes to become a lifelong learner; and how you can contribute to the school and the community.
This Student Handbook is designed to help you be as informed as possible about our school, and to help you obtain a general understanding of its policies.
We invite you to share in the many exciting and rewarding opportunities awaiting you during your middle school experience. Best wishes for a most productive year!
