On December 1, 2020, the District was notified of two (2) students who tested positive for COVID-19, one (1) at Commack High School, and one (1) at Commack Middle School.  First and foremost, please know that ALL Commack Schools remain open for in-person instruction.  As is our protocol, all affected areas at the aforementioned schools were appropriately cleaned and disinfected. 

Please click the title to read the details regarding each case.

Given the National, State and community circumstances related to Covid-19, please read a message from Dr. James regarding District Covid-19 data and our plans moving forward.  First and foremost, we have had very few Covid-19 cases among our students and staff.  This data cannot be “fudged” as anyone who tests positive is reported to the Department of Health by the testing facility and then to the State by the District (see https://schoolcovidreportcard.health.ny.gov/#/searchResults ) and the two are verified. 

It is clear that the Commack safety plan and the efforts of staff and students to diligently follow our safety protocols including social distancing and masks, has worked so far; there is little to no doubt that at this time our schools are some of the Covid-19 safest places anywhere.  Therefore, we plan to continue to keep our schools open using the Commack Model for the foreseeable future and will only move to full remote if there is a spike in school-related Covid-19 cases or we are directed to close by the State as part of a regional closing plan.  Please click the title to read the entire message and to access helpful links.

On Monday, November 9, 2020, all Commack School District buses and vans will be fully equipped with Stop-Arm Cameras that will record vehicles that illegally pass school buses while the red lights and stop signs are engaged. The Board of Education and Suffolk County entered into an agreement, at no cost to the taxpayers of the District, to install cameras on the stop arms that will take photos of vehicles that fail to stop as required by law. GPS equipment to be installed on the bus will record the locations of the photos. The county will then send summonses to the alleged violators.  The district will not receive any share of the fines collected nor will it have access to any of the information collected about alleged violators.  Please click the title to read more...
