Dear Students, Parents, and Community Members,

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as your new Superintendent.  As many of you know, this appointment represents a homecoming of sorts for me, as I served as the District’s Assistant Superintendent for Instruction and Personnel from 2010 to 2014. I am thrilled to once again be a part of this wonderful community. Throughout my 35 years in education, and as a parent of two, I have personally learned how powerful a positive educational experience is. Please know that I am committed to providing one for every student in the Carle Place Union free School District.

I will not be able to do it alone – I will need the input and involvement of all stakeholders.  All of us must work together to ensure that our students reach their full intellectual, social, and emotional potential.  A school environment that honors the individual as well as the community must be partnered with a commitment to excellence in academic achievement, sports, music, or artistic endeavors. When students have a sense of belonging to something larger than themselves, they become people who are able to contribute to society as a whole. Carle Place educators have the best job in the world – we get to help create the people who will be our future.

We also deeply believe that high quality learning for all students is the key to unlocking that future.   We are humbled that you have entrusted us with your most precious possessions – your children. We promise to provide a safe and supportive learning environment for all, keeping our students at the forefront of every decision we make. We will continue to dedicate ourselves to providing engaging and rewarding learning experiences for the young people of this community.

There is much to be excited about as we prepare for the opening of school on September 3, and we are eagerly awaiting the return of the students and the opportunity to meet all of you.  Please feel free to reach out to me at any time. Together we will listen, learn, share, build and plan for an extraordinary school year.

Sincerely,

Christine A. Finn, Ed.D 

Superintendent of Carle Place Schools
