Do you have a question about something that's happening in the school district? Community members are encouraged to ask about issues in they which they have an interest. If you have a question for which you would like clarification based in fact, please e-mail it to the district at questions@wi.k12.ny.us.  The question will be posted and addressed factually on this web site.
 
February, 2011 I am writing to inquire about the pre k program.  Is there any way that I could obtain information about this such as: is there a waiting list or first come first serve, how much does the program cost, and who runs the program?
 
Yes, the West Islip School District does have a preschool program. The application for preschool is posted on the district website. Applications are only accepted within the registration window indicated on the website. Due to the number of applicants, applications that fall outside the registration window are invalidated. Parents are notified of acceptance into the program after the budget vote in May. Selection is through a lottery system and there is no charge for the program. The program accepts approximately 15 students total per year. Should you have additional questions regarding the program, please feel free to call Ellen Quaglio, High School Associate Principal at 504-5810 or e.quaglio@wi.k12.ny.us. She oversees the Family and Consumer Science Department, which runs the program.
