To our Middle School Students and Parents,

Welcome, it is an exciting time of year! The Middle School team has created a terrific place to learn, grow, and have fun. You will make new friends as well as re-connect with old ones. The year will be filled with lots of learning, activities, and building entertainment. We have fun filled advisories, intramurals, school sports and clubs to keep you involved and connected to the Islip spirit which travels through all of us here at the Middle School. I encourage you to get involved and make the most of your Middle School year.

Enjoy,

Curt Juengerkes

Welcome Back from the Renaissance Club!!!

We are looking forward to celebrating all of your hard work and dedication.

Just a few tips to keep in mind:

This is an opportunity for a fresh start. Remember that it’s not only about your grades but your character here in the Middle school. Therefore, always try your hardest, be kind, and attendance matters.

Oh... don’t think we forgot... We are planning to celebrate your forth quarter accomplishments from the 2021-22 school year in October for all 7th and 8th grade card holders. Details to follow.

September: Getting to Know You....

During the month of September, advisors will be assisting students with their schedules, lockers, and helping them to acclimate to their new teams and surroundings. Special emphasis will be placed on student planners as a way to improve students’ organizational skills. September advisory theme is “Getting to Know You”. Students and staff will engage in a variety of small group and building level activities to foster friendships and teacher-student relationships. For our first school-wide activity our students will be participating in Patriots Day. All students and staff are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue on September 9th.

Additionally, student government members are kicking off the school year with a “IMS Student Social Media Takeover”. Be on the lookout for pictures!

On behalf of the Islip Middle School PTA, we would like to welcome everyone back to school! We are looking forward to a great year filled with fantastic events, community building activities and, most importantly supporting our kids and teachers so that they can continue to attain excellence in education!

Our primary objective as a PTA is to provide our school with funds, programs, resources, and services that will enrich and maximize the education of every child and to benefit the school. To meet this important objective, we need your help! Please use the link below to become a member of IMS PTA. You can volunteer as much or as little as you can…Many hands make light work!

Please look for our membership table at Meet the Teacher Night on, September 15th. We will be selling purple and gold Pura Vida Bracelets that will help us all show our school spirit. We will also have membership information and a sign up sheet for volunteers to help with events throughout the year.

We are SO excited to announce that our first big event will be a Harlem Wizards interactive basketball game on, November 28th. We will be getting details out soon, but please save the date! It is going to be a fun night filled with entertainment, laughs, and audience participation!

Please join us on, October 19th, for our first PTA meeting to hear about all of the other wonderful things we have planned for this year. We hope everyone has a wonderful year and we look forward to seeing you all soon!
