As we begin 2025, I am writing to you, along with my three secondary Principals, to address some very concerning news and to ask for your support. Towards the end of last week, we became aware of troubling behaviors exhibited by several students in our community. Let's work together to reinforce these reminders and keep Massapequa safe.

On behalf of the Board of Education and the entire administrative team, we hope you had a wonderful and relaxing holiday break. There were only three weeks of school in December, but they were certainly busy. The joy of the season was evident throughout our schools from the holiday crafts to the concerts.

As we approach Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. This season is a time to reflect on the many blessings we have and to appreciate the incredible community we are part of.

October was an incredibly busy and spirited month for our district! After enduring many raindrops last year, we were blessed with perfect weather for this year’s homecoming celebration. The day kicked off with a wonderful parade through town, leading up to a dominating victory by our Chiefs in the varsity football game. Our talented Pep Band, Varsity and JV Cheer teams, and the MHS Chiefettes delivered incredible performances. It was heartwarming to see so many students and community members decked out in blue and gold, cheering them on.

After countless conversations, classroom visits, and thoughtful exchanges, I am thrilled to announce that at the September 12th Board of Education meeting, my team and I unveiled a community inspired vision for Massapequa’s future. And last Thursday evening, the Board officially adopted our new vision, mission, and Profile of a Massapequa Learner and Leader! 

Summer gives way to the new school year with approximately 6,500 students arriving across Massapequa’s nine schools over two days at the beginning of September.
