You are invited to the Interact Club's Annual "Safe Halloween!" Please join us!
On Aug. 21 and 22, the Hauppauge School District held its new teacher orientation, welcoming new educators to the district for the 2024-25 school year.
The district’s administrators joined the new staff for breakfast to begin the day on Aug. 21 and followed the morning introductions with presentations on safety and security, Google Workspace for education, employee assistance, special education, and more.
Day two of the orientation included both new teachers and teachers in their first years of education. After an enthusiastic welcome and some fun icebreakers, teachers delved deeper into educational tools and broke off into professional development sessions of their choice.
The trainings were led by Director of Career and Technical Education, Digital Learning and Innovation Leslie Brophy, Deputy Superintendent Joseph Tasman, Hauppauge High School Assistant Principal Daniel Wald, Hauppauge High School math teacher Jessica White, high school ELA teacher and digital coach Joanne Seale, Executive Administrator of Information Technology and Security Initiatives Dr. Christopher Smalley, Assistant Superintendent for Pupil Personnel Services Rebecca Bilski, Director of Secondary Pupil Personnel Services and ENL Dr. Jennifer Eastman and Director of Elementary Pupil Personnel Services and ENL Norell Young. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Donald Murphy also addressed the educators, warmly welcoming them to the district.
Hauppauge is excited to welcome this new group of outstanding educators to the district for the upcoming school year.
Welcomed by their teachers dressed as flight attendants, Bretton Woods third graders waited patiently outside their classroom turned airplane with homemade boarding passes and passports in-hand. The students entered the “plane” ready to “fly around the world” for their country celebration day.
As part of their social studies curriculum, the third-grade students compared the life, government and culture of Kenya and Brazil to the United States. In a culmination of all they’d learned, teachers Ms. Haviland and Ms. Drake created a day in which students could “fly” to the different countries they’d learned all about and participate in cultural activities. After “boarding”, students sang, “Hello to All the Children of the World” to the parents and special guests in attendance.
Students were able to bring one special guest on their “flight” and travel with them to different stations. At one station, students made Brazilian rain sticks and shared books they’d made on the country’s government, economy and culture with their guests. At another, the students and their guests played a Kenyan board game called Shisima. Lastly, they created a star decoration to represent the United States. After their world tour, students and their guests gathered around their portfolios, showcasing work from throughout the year.
From Hauppauge Eagles to graduates! Congratulations, Class of 2024! YOU DID IT!
