As principal of the Michael F. Stokes Elementary School, it is my pleasure
to welcome you to our web site. I encourage you to visit our web site
frequently and find information that may be helpful for you and
your family.
The Michael F. Stokes School is a K-4 elementary school with over
600 students. It is the larger of two elementary schools in the
Island Trees School District. Students who attend Stokes live in
Levittown, Seaford, Bethpage and Plainedge. Most of our students are transported
to school by bus.
Currently, there are five or six classes of each of the grade levels in Kindergarten
through fourth grade. Our full day Kindergarten is in its third
year. We have 29 classroom teachers, 6 special education teachers,
2 reading teachers, 1 writing teacher, 2 physical education teachers,
1 classroom music teacher, 2 instructional music teachers (one for
band, one for orchestra), 1 librarian, 1 art teacher, 2 speech therapists,
1 school counselor, 1 school nurse and 1 computer aide. In addition,
we have many aides who work in our inclusion classes and provide
extra support to struggling readers.
The Michael F. Stokes School is dedicated to the task of providing all
students with the finest education. We give all students the foundation
on which to lay the bricks of academic success. Through standard
driven instruction, a supportive and nurturing environment, the
development of all necessary life skills, we create a learning environment
that enriches our students throughout their academic careers and
their lifetime.
The faculty and staff of the Michael F. Stokes School believe that the
family is the first and continuing teacher. Therefore, we make a
special effort to maintain a strong parent-school partnership. We
encourage parents, families and our community to participate actively
in the education of our children.
I look forward to a successful school year!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lisa R. Newman
Principal
