West Islip Schools Closed On Monday

High school, Bayview still without power following Hurricane Sandy

West Islip schools will be closed for sixth consecutive day in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

In an automated call to school district residents, Superintendent Richard Simon said the high school and Bayview Elementary School — the only school in the district located south of Montauk Highway — remain without power.

If power is restored to the high school on Monday, schools will be open on Tuesday. If Bayview is still without power Tuesday and the school district reopens, it was not immediately known how students at that school would be accommodated.

There will be an administrative meeting at 8:30 a.m. Monday at Beach Street Middle School and all faculty and staff are being asked to report to their respective buildings 10 a.m. on Monday for meetings, Simon said.
