Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Loving Caregivers,

It is with great enthusiasm and excitement that I write this letter welcoming you back to the start of a new school year! I am honored to be the principal of Wing Elementary School and look forward to working together to advance the achievement of all students. During my time as an educator, I have had the opportunity to serve various communities as a teacher assistant, special education teacher, founding member of a new school, and assistant principal. Working together, I am confident that we will continue to provide our students with a truly rigorous and enriching school experience.

The elementary years are critical times for children. What happens during these years will have a lasting impression on their growth and development. My goal as principal is to provide leadership that will facilitate a school environment that is safe, encouraging, and fun for your child to receive the best possible instruction and encourage them to become lifelong learners. 

I believe that all children can and will learn to their greatest potential in a positive, nurturing environment. I think it is essential to encourage our students to understand their mistakes and obstacles are a part of life, but how students persevere, learn, and grow from these difficulties will encourage them to develop into successful adults and lifelong learners. I look forward to spending time this year getting to know and learn from staff, students, and families at Wing.

I believe in the importance of two-way communication and encourage you to reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas throughout the year as my door is always open to the school community. If there is anything I can assist you with, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Catherine Glaser, Proud Principal



An Exciting First Day of School in Islip

First Day of School 2024 thumbnail260728

Students walked into the Islip School District’s five schools – Islip High School, Islip Middle School, Commack Road Elementary School, Maud S. Sherwood Elementary School and Wing Elementary School – on a sunny Sept. 3, excited for the first day of school and ready to begin a new year of learning.  

“The first day of school is always a great reminder of why we do what we do,” Sherwood Principal Briana James said. “Seeing the excitement in everyone’s eyes was proof that together we can do great things, and that this year might just be our best yet.”

“We were thrilled to welcome students to a new school year at Islip High School,” Principal Dr. Lara Gonzalez said. “We’re off to a strong start already. With Spirit Week and homecoming only 10 days away, we have so much to look forward to during this back-to-school season.”

"We are excited to welcome students back to Commack Road for a new year and see them set their goals and work towards achieving them,” Principal Jackie Beckmann said. “Every student has the potential to succeed, and we are here to support and guide them each step of the way. Together, we will make this year one of growth, learning and accomplishment.”

“This morning's arrival at Islip Middle School was simply wonderful,” Principal Dr. Timothy Martin said. “The children’s smiles brought the sunshine in more ways than one. We are so grateful to kick off this year with such joyful children.”

“Today was another magical first day at Wing,” Wing Principal Catherine Glaser said. “There is always so much excitement and energy as we welcome back returning students and meet children who are new to our district. We are looking forward to learning and growing together throughout this school year.”
