Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions. Actually, they are only occasionally asked, but we thought it would be handy to not have to repeat our answers again and again.
Photos: One or two have asked that their yearbook photo be removed. While we discourage that, we will do so upon request. You may add your own photo in your profile. Bear in mind, these photos were already published in yearbooks, and several hundred yearbooks were sold to each person’s classmates. Yearbooks are now also located in the Public Library and Sayville High’s bookshelves. There are no copyright notices in the yearbooks. Older photos are in the public domain.
Is the SAA really part of the community?
We are non-profit. Membership in the Sayville Alumni Association is 100% free — no initiation fee, no dues. We don’t use our database for any commercial purpose.
We are inclusive. Those who graduated from Sayville High are members, but so are those who dropped out, or who moved away, or who died before graduation. Faculty are members, as are all staff, including secretarial, kitchen, security, and custodial staff.
We are part of the community. We have liaisons to the High School, the Friends of Sayville Education Foundation, the Public Library, and to other community groups. The Suffolk County News rejoiced in our formation with a front page story. By the end of the year, I hope we can be contributing in more ways to the life of our home town.
We have community support. Our goal is to help those alumni who want to reconnect with old friends.
I hope you will visit again and again, and explore what we have done and are doing. Register on the site and provide what information you wish to share — info on your career, your hobbies, the name of your spouse, and any other info you want to share.
Best wishes.
