NIS Students Learn about Dental Health

We will host a special visitor on January 29th.  A dental hygienist  from Stony Brook University School of Dentistry will be working with our children and teaching them about the best way to take care of their teeth.  Don't be surprised if your child comes home and tells you about the giant toothbrush he/she saw at school!

Winter Activities Special Event

With the cold weather upon us, we may as well have some fun!  Our Special Event this month focuses on winter activities, including building a snow fort, ice skating, throwing snowballs, drinking hot chocolate, and more!  The best part is that it all takes place indoors in our Open Space.  The dates are January 30 and 31, so look in you child's backpack for your invitation with the scheduled date and time.  Hope to see you there!

Parent Workshop on Special Education Transition for our Graduates

As children move closer to their fifth birthday, many questions arise concerning their future schooling.  We are pleased to present a  workshop that will address the concerns of parents of a child who is currently classified as a preschooler with a disability. Our guest speaker will discuss the differences between preschool and school age special education services.  We will also discuss the meeting that parents will have with their school district's Committee on Special Education.
Our workshop will be held on Tuesday January 22, at 6:30 p.m.  Look in your child's backpack for further information.
