In her monthly message to the district, Oyster Bay-East Norwich Superintendent Phyllis Harrington sent warm wishes for the new year.
"This past fall was very trying, yet we used those setbacks and crises and, in fact, tragedies to help us remember what matters most," she said. "For us in the Oyster Bay School District, we continue to celebrate the success of our students and continually put forth the effort to do all we can to ensure that our young people are given the excellent education they deserve and the one that our community has come to expect."
Harrington reminded the community of several upcoming events:
