THE AMAZING CLASS OF 2022

It was a unique high school experience for our 506 accomplished graduates in the Class of 2022. During their four years at Commack High School, they attended classes in a variety of different settings, became expert users of technology, and through it all they excelled academically, in athletics and extracurricular clubs, honor societies, and volunteer experiences. And thankfully, traditional rites of passage including the prom, barbecue, class trip, and senior walk-through were celebrated in CHS fashion.

They are ready to meet the future!

At the graduation ceremony, held this year on Commack High School’s home turf, Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Jordan Cox, told the seniors, “It seems we are always planning for the next stage of our lives. Planning for high school, planning for college, planning for a career. My wish for you is to be present and live in the amazing moments you have ahead of you. Make as many memories as possible with family, friends, and loved ones. Live in the moment!”

Congratulations to the Class of 2022 - seize each and every day!

Congratulations to the Class of 2022

Wood Park Roots Run Deep Commack School District is a place where not only education is instilled but also where lifelong memories are created. This is particularly true for Marty Meyers, a 1971 graduate from Wood Park.

Although Meyers is a current resident of New Jersey, he is still in contact with many of his Commack classmates. They often reminisce about their years at Wood Park and the Commack Schools over Facebook. In particular, they have vivid memories of their time in Mr. Joel Thaw’s sixth-grade class and the projects they created.

After speaking with Meyers to learn more about the impact Commack schools have had on him, he stated that Mr. Thaw and the years he attended Wood Park are parts of his life he will never forget.

Meyers still has his Wood Park autograph book which Mr. Thaw signed in 1971, and memories like creating a map of the United States from small pebbles (in photo) that he will cherish forever!

Even after retirement, Mr. Thaw still has ties to the Commack School District. Thaw’s grandson, Jaxson, is a current student at Wood Park. He wears his last name proudly and cherishes the legacy his grandfather has left. Recently, Mr. Thaw and his family have had the opportunity to visit Wood Park together and create even more memories in our Commack Schools.

Rolling Hills Impressionism

Second grade teacher at Rolling Hills, Mrs. DiLeone, talked to students about impressionistic paintings and explained the idea of the second grade moving-up project. Students brought Chromebooks into the art room to create their impressionistic backgrounds, reflecting on their time at Rolling Hills and their feelings about going to Sawmill or Burr. Combining both lessons, students created their own impressionist paintings expressing their emotions about moving schools.

New N ew K Kindergarten indergarten S Support upport P Programs rograms Phonological Awareness Program Beginning in September 2022, all students in kindergarten will receive a once-weekly phonological awareness push-in into the classroom.

Each session will be 30 minutes in length and support students’ phonological awareness development.

Phonological awareness skills are the prerequisite listening skills essential for reading success. Students will

learn to actively hear, identify and manipulate the sounds, or phonemes, that make up words. Students will focus on the sounds of spoken words rather than the meanings of words.

Research supports the importance of phonological awareness skills for beginning readers.

Children who can analyze the sounds within spoken words are

more successful in learning to read printed words. This program will be considered a Tier 1 support within the classroom that will strengthen students reading readiness skills. As stated above, research shows that students who have specific exposure to targeted phonological awareness instruction meet with more reading success and are less likely to need AIS support in the area of reading.

Occupational Therapy Push-in Program Throughout the 2021-2022 school year, the District piloted an occupational therapy (OT) push-in into kindergarten classes at North Ridge and Wood Park Primary schools.

The need for this additional help was necessary after the District’s newly implemented RtI process data team observed and identified students with fine motor weaknesses.

The OT therapy strengthened students’ abilities to hold, manipulate and use writing utensils (pencils,

crayons and markers) appropriately, as well as making a notable impact on students’ stamina during writing activities. This program was wildly successful and provided support that reduced the need to further support students with writing.

tor activities developed to improve core muscle strength, increase hand and arm strength, grasp and cutting skills.

This push-in support is once weekly for 30 minutes during Fundations writing lessons and focuses on pencil grasp, letter formation, and strengthening to sustain table top activities.

Included in the program are fine-moThe Commack Courier

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISM & AWARENESS Did you know that everything that goes into storm drains on the North Shore goes into the Long Island Sound? There is no filtration system to remove toxins and other refuse. The Environmental Action Club, led by CHS science teacher Jeanne Suttie, brought awareness about the importance of protecting the Long Island Sound and watershed by painting storm drains with colorful aquatic sea creatures.

With the help of a $2,500 research grant, the students worked hard to collect data from the community storm drains and used ArcGIS 1-2-3.

After investigation, the group presented their findings and solutions at the Long Island Sound High School Summit. The club created a letter writing campaign to inform local officials of the issues at hand and initiated a call to action. The goal of the group is to educate their peers and community about the importance of protecting our environment, and to see that the storm drains are cleaned on a regular basis.

CHS RAIN GARDEN Thanks to an environmentally conscious group of science research students and a grant they won, a rain garden and rain collection barrels will encircle Commack High School’s greenhouse in the main courtyard. The rain garden will serve as a natural habitat for pollinators and help filter rainwater runoff.

The garden will provide ongoing educational opportunities for Biology and Environmental studies to incorporate the garden into curriculum. Three students, Soyoun M., Melina N., and Lakxshanna R., were heavily involved in this project and took the initiative to make Commack a more environmentally friendly school. Their project won a $2,500 grant from the Long Island Regional Planning Council to make their vision a reality.

“Our students took a proactive approach to protect the future health of our community and the Long Island region by analyzing the damage done by untreated storm water runoff,” stated Dr. Cox, Superintendent of Commack Schools. “Their project, an in-depth proposal to remedy the amount of pollution moving into our waterways from the grounds at Commack High School, was chosen because it “promotes project-based learning in STEAM and has helped students develop a greater understanding of how their classroom curriculum can be applied to protecting Long Island’s crucial water resources – with a specific focus on reducing or eliminating nitrogen pollution.”

Playground Accesibility For All! On June 21, Wood Park Primary School unveiled their new playground AAC (an alternative communication) board. The Core Board promotes accessibility for all children while also enhancing independence, communication and increased social interactions. These second grade students are leaving a legacy at their school that will continue to not only educate students but also provide equal opportunities for all!

Sawmill Pays It Forward The Sawmill Pay It Forward Club has been hard at work this year spreading kindness and inspiring others. Their culminating project this year was to decorate kindness rocks and make them into stepping stones for the garden in the front of the school. A beautiful addition to Sawmill!

Indian Hollow Circus Second graders at Indian Hollow hosted their first ever circus! The audience (kindergarten and first grade students) loved the performances. What a great and exciting way to end the school year!

Tap The Sap! Mrs. Nichols’ first grade class at North Ridge helped to drill and tap the maple tree outside of their classroom window and immediately sap began dripping out. By the end of the day, six inches of sap were in the bucket. The students were intrigued by the process and asked lots of questions. They now have a new appreciation for trees and maple syrup.

Sawmill Shipyard Fifth grade students at Sawmill tested the sea-worthiness of the vessels they built at a much anticipated Boat Brigade event.

The brigade, the brainchild of Schoolwide Enrichment Teacher Lindsey Persichilli, was a splash!

It was the culmination of lessons learned about the properties of electricity, the effects of blade design including pitch, material, blade size, shape & number, and how to test and modify until their boat properly propelled and floated. Modifications were made at the boatyard, and floated in “Beaver Creek.” Of course, a lifeguard was on duty for any mishaps. It was complete with a creek, and a boatyard.
