This Sunday, February 5th marks the end of Catholic Schools Week celebrations. Last weekend parents from our school and the principal Ms. Livingston shared with you information about our school and invited you to visit dur- ing Open House at St. Isidore. Whether you were able to visit or not the school this past week, you will find great info at the school’s website at (www.sisriverhead.com) and at the school Facebook (St. Isidore-Riverhead). Thank you to all visitors, children and their families, parishioners and our neighbors who came to see our school and show their interest. It was good to have you here.

We all at our school continue to invite parents of the elementary school children in the area to consider St. Isidore as an option for your child’s or grandchild’s education. St. Isidore provides opportunities for excellent education, attested by the results of the standardized tests our children take and great High Schools and Colleges they are accepted to. The use of technology at all levels of curriculum is evident with the use of iPads, Smartboards and computers. The school provides a variety of extracurricular activities such as after-school clubs and sports that gives the students the opportunity to develop their gifts and their social skills by interacting with one another. As a Catholic school, our special gift to the children is the opportunity to grow in faith and the Gospel values. At St. Isidore, the respect of one child for another is a part of our daily formation from pre-K through 8 grade. It reminds them that they are all children of God and therefore brothers and sisters to one another. I believe, that correctly we call St. Isidore – “extension of your family.” Please stop by to visit the school and see for yourself! Contact the school office at 631-727-1650 to make an appointment.

God Bless You,
