The
district has hired Justin Uliano as the new curriculum associate for
ELA, reading and library in grades 6-12, replacing Michelle Kwon.
He

Uliano,
who resides in Sunnyside, Queens, earned a double bachelor’s degree in
English and anthropology from Stony Brook University, a master’s of

“I
am really pleased to be able to make a home in such a terrific school
community as Deer Park, and I look forward to supporting this talented
teaching staff as we all continue to grow and adapt to the ever-changing
needs of our kids and our schools,” Uliano said.
