Kings Park Schools Closed Thursday and Friday

Kings Park schools will be closed Thursday and Friday due to the effects of Hurricane Sandy according to the Kings Park Board of Education.

According to the Board of Education, it is likely schools will open Monday and school is expected to be held on Election Day.

Schools have been closed since Monday and most are without power. Fort Salonga Elementary is operating on some power and the high school has some power from generators.

A meeting is being held Thursday at 4 p.m. at the high school for parents of children with students at Park View Elementary. The school is closed indefinitely due to severe damage to the roof from the storm.

The district is evaluating the school calendar to consider where they will add days to make up for time lost during the power outage. It is likely that schools will not re-open until at least Monday. Patch will provide updates as they become available.

St. Joseph's School of Religion will be closed on Saturday. is closing on Saturday.

Apparently you are not the only one this is happening to. From what I understand if these signs areRead More on a main drag somehow they are disappearing in the middle of the night. Hmmm, now I wonder who or what organization could be doing this illegal act? I'm not going to make an educated guess who could be involverd in this deed but I think if Kings Parkers do some research they are smart enough to figure out who does not want the real facts of the "Uplands Project" to come to light. Displaying these signs is a way of making the public aware of the atrocity of this project. Questions will then be asked. Making a night run to remove them is, at the least, a cowardly act that should be publicized every time it occurs!

That's funny, I spend a small fortune for school supplies for my kids. I am also asked to buy extraRead More for the kids who don't have., which I gladly do. The "society letting kids down" comment is a little over the top!!
