Syosset students and faculties will get back to normal this week as schools resume classes.

Syosset School District, Our Lady of Mercy Academy, and St. Edward the Confessor School all announced plans for the week after being closed in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

OLMA announced on their website that students will return to the classroom on a normal schedule on Monday.

In a letter, OLMA President Margaret Myhan said:

I am happy to report that Our Lady of Mercy Academy was spared any significant damage from the storm.  As far as we know, our students and the extended Mercy family are fine.  However, we remain keenly aware that many communities and neighborhoods have experienced catastrophic damages and many of our students and their families will be facing trying times ahead.
