School Banking will resume at Ocean Avenue Elementary on Wednesday, October 5th. This year, bank days will be THE FIRST WEDNESDAY of every month.

Bank days will be in the morning up until 8:05 (busers and walkers are welcome). Bring us your deposit, and we will deliver it to the First National Bank of Long Island.

School banking is a great way to reinforce the value of money and practice math skills, while having fun.

If your child would like to participate in school banking, please stop in at the 105 Main Street branch of First National Bank of Long Island in Northport. The staff there is very friendly and will make signing up a fun experience for you and your child. Your child will then receive a pouch and register from the bank indicating that his/her account is active. If you have already set up an account at First National for your child, you are ready to begin banking on Wednesday, October 5th.

If you have any questions, please call PTA member Barbara Anderson at 754-3797 (drbabs@optonline.net) or Stephanie Crafa at 239-1911 (srcrafa@optonline.net). You may also call Vincent Bartilucci at the 105 Main Street branch in Northport at 631-261-0331.
