Update 8/14/17
Transportation Update for Tuesday, August 15
Due to the limited parking at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church, the district will open up Sachem High School North for additional parking. There will be three buses that will make round trips from Sachem High School North to the church located in Lake Ronkonkoma. Busing will begin at 8:30 a.m. and will continue to run until the Mass concludes and all parties are successfully back at North. Security will be on-hand at the school to ensure there are no issues with parking.
We would like to thank the Towne Bus, LLC for their generous donation of these buses. Our continued thoughts and condolences are with the family and loved ones during this difficult time.
