About Us
In grades K-6, the Islip School District employs a Balanced Literacy Program. Some of the components of this program include Reading Workshop and Writing Workshop. In addition, grades K-3 employ Fundations, a program that teaches the foundational skills of reading and spelling. In grades 7-12, students have the opportunity to take many courses in English, including Honors-level and Advanced Placement-level courses as well as electives such as Public Speaking & Debate and Science Fiction. In 11th Grade, all students take the Common Core English Regents Exam. Ultimately, our goal is to guide students to become proficient writers and lifelong readers who are college and career ready.
