Technology has gone to the next level in the Oyster Bay-East Norwich Central School District. After a multi-year plan to build infrastructure and integrate technological resources in the classroom, the District has launched a 1:1 technology initiative – meaning students are assigned their own devices to elevate their learning.
Joining top student-musicians throughout New York State, Oyster Bay High School senior Thomas Fletcher has been selected to perform in the New York State School Music Association (NYSSMA) All-State Winter Conference in Rochester, NY, Nov. 29-Dec. 2.
Oyster Bay-East Norwich Central School District began the school year with two new department supervisors and new members of its faculty. Mr. Anthony Femino joins the District as K-12 Supervisor for Fine and Performing Arts, replacing Dr. Peter Rufa who became Oyster Bay High School Assistant Principal for grades 10-12.
Veteran educator Dr. Peter Rufa is passionate about driving students to success. As Oyster Bay High School’s new Assistant Principal for grades 10-12, that sentiment fuels his goals and expectations as he moves forward in his new role.
With backpacks and school supplies in hand, 1,558 students in the Oyster Bay-East Norwich School District began the 2018-19 school year meeting new staff members, acclimating to new technology, engaging in new courses, and benefiting from upgraded facilities and safety measures.
In a moving, surprise performance that brought the audience to its feet, Oyster Bay-East Norwich Superintendent of Schools Dr. Laura Seinfeld led musically talented staff members and choral students in a rendition of “Teach Your Children” to close her welcome-back speech to faculty and staff, Aug. 30, sending them off inspired and invigorated to start the year ahead.
Dr. Seinfeld addresses the community from a newly updated high school art room and thanks staff members for their efforts in preparing our schools for the 2018-19 school year.
