Being prepared for emergencies is not only a requirement of the State, but is also taken very seriously by the staff and administration of Commack Union Free School District. The District maintains an emergency management plan for each of its schools - a plan that is reviewed and revised annually, and after each emergency. This plan addresses an enormous range of issues, ranging from the mundane to dealing with the onset of a crisis, to addressing the social, emotional, and psychological needs of staff and students in its aftermath.
    When disaster strikes, the first consideration for every Commack staff member is the safety of the children in our care. Please refer to our Emergency Planning Guide on the Commack Website. The guide provides a brief description of how the District will manage an emergency, and how Commack parents can support our efforts during an emergency.
    The two most important things a parent can do are to make certain your child’s school has up-to-date emergency contact information, and to periodically review with your child alternative arrangements you have made in case an emergency prevents you from being at home. Be assured that the District is well prepared to deal with any and all emergencies that may arise, and that the safety of our students is our number one priority.

Sincerely,
Dr. James A. Feltman
Superintendent of Schools
