Why Does Islip Schools still have Calculators on their supply list & why didn't they put the school supply list in the welcome back to school envelopes like normal? why did I have to go down to the school and get the list? my neighbor had to ask the lady BEHIND the counter at staples for the current Islip supply list; give her childs school and grade before the lady would give her the list...

I saw a copy of Islip's School Watch letter at the Library
I read the link & letter sent to all Superintendents Dec. 2006 It clearly says that schools are to provide Calculators, so whats going on????? any one know? If our property taxes are paying the school taxes & Calculators are needed for the curriculum why are we pay 2x for them? Where is the money for the calculators & oter items us parents paying for going?

The School Watch letter also said that they wrote a letter to the School. What did the school say?
