Good morning, this is Dr. Bannon, superintendent of schools. At approximately 3:30 a.m., a bomb threat was emailed to high school administration. Upon receipt of the email, the Suffolk County Police Department was immediately notified and an investigation began. The high school operated on a two-hour delayed opening while Suffolk PD, the District security team and administration search the building. The building has been determined safe and there was no evidence to substantiate the threat. The high school will resume its day under normal delayed opening procedures. We thank the Suffolk PD, our security department and administration team for their quick action. The safety or our students and staff continues to be our top priority. 

Late kindergarten registration for the Copiague Union Free School District will be held at the District Administrative Office located in Copiague Middle School on Great Neck Road from April 23-27, 8:30-11:30 a.m. and 1-2:45 p.m., BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

Children who have turned age 5 on or before Dec. 1, 2018 are eligible to attend school in September 2018. Registration requirements include proof of the child’s age, residence within the boundaries of the Copiague School District, and immunizations against polio, measles, rubella (German measles), mumps, diphtheria and hepatitis B. Additional information on immunizations should be requested from the child’s physician. A law enacted in 2008 expands a physical to include a dental health screening.

For registration information, call 631-842-4015, ext. 538. Those who do not plan to register their children at this time should also call school officials to assist in the district’s planning.

Please note: Due to ongoing construction, the date and location of the high school graduation ceremony has been changed. High school graduation is now scheduled for Thursday, June 21, 2018 at the Brentwood campus of Suffolk County Community College.
