37 Northport-East Northport Union Free School District When in Doubt . . . Please Check It Out The district has established procedures to respond effectively to questions and suggestions from parents and residents. The procedures start with the person closest to the situation, as it is that person who will have the most information. Because situations sometimes require that additional staff become involved in the conversations, we have tried to categorize here the major areas of interest, with a list for each area of those responsible. If you have questions pertaining to the school district or your child’s progress, please do not hesitate to call. We encourage any and all questions from parents and residents concerning school matters.
