Shelter Island School District

any info on this district?

I have an interview this week!!!

Re: Shelter Island School District

i have no info. on the district, but i can imagine that it is VERY small enrollment wise. also, i think you live in Queens if iremember correctly (or maybe work there?) do you realize how far away shelter island is? you are so far out east... basically, you can't get much farther out, but it is so beautiful there. i don't know where you live but unless you are very far out east already, you will have a very long commute. you also have to take a ferry to access the island.

I hope you live out east, b/c it's not so accessible otherwise. You need to take a ferry to get there but they come every 5-10 minutes). Both the North Fork and South Fork have ferry service. Once you're on the island, it's easy to find your way around. There are no traffic lights.

SI is a very tiny district. There are a lot of "summer people" on SI, but not many that live there year-round. I think they have a k-12 building. Not sure about the ethnic or socioeconomic breakdown. Check out greatschools.com for that.

Good luck!!

I live in W. Islip. The trip would be so long. I just dread going back to Corona.

:(

Re: Shelter Island School District

You're looking at a 1.5 hour commute MINIMUM... I don't know what your current job is like, but that's a hell of a drive IMO.

Re: Shelter Island School District

Well, I choose not to go on the interview. I researched the school and it seems perfect. (so why not go, right?)

It is just too far. I do not want to fall in love with another school only to be disappointed and have to return to where I currently teach.


Going to be a very long year!
