Acting Superintendent’s Message

Dear Islip Faculty, Staff, Families, and Students:

I am extremely honored to serve as Acting Superintendent of Islip School District. My primary goal during this interim period is to maintain our positive culture, continue our outstanding programs, and ensure a smooth transition for staff, students, and families. As we welcome our students back to school, I extend my heartfelt appreciation for your continued support and partnership with our District.

I am deeply committed to Islip School District and its mission. As I begin my tenth year in Islip as a central office administrator, I will continue to work closely with the Offices of Curriculum & Instruction; Business; and Human Resources, Administrative Services, and Operations. As the Acting Superintendent, I will move the District forward with a focus on school partnership and family engagement.

Please know you can count on me to give my very best every day and to work tirelessly to support our students, families, and staff. Your insights are invaluable in shaping the educational experience we provide. Please do not hesitate to contact me or the other members of the Central Office Administration team - Dr. Giacchetto, Mr. Zeterberg, and Ms. Brower - with any questions or concerns. We appreciate the amazing support our community has always provided Islip School District.

Sincerely,
Kathleen O'Callaghan, Ed.D.
Acting Superintendent of Schools
