To our Massapequa Family,
It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is just two days away. Time seems to have a way of speeding up just when we wish it would slow down. As the holiday approaches, I’ve been reflecting on our district theme—A Paradigm of Potential: The Power of Connection and Community—and how beautifully it continues to unfold all around us.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been reminded of just how much is happening across our district—the impressive accomplishments in our classrooms, on our fields, courts, and stages, and throughout our entire community. Everywhere I look, our students are performing at the highest levels, showing that true success is never achieved alone but through preparation, teamwork, and collective effort.
What has moved me most, though, is the spirit of service that continues to define Massapequa. Across our schools, students and staff come together for food drives, fundraisers, backpack and coat collections, and countless quiet acts of kindness—living proof of our vision of Creating Leaders, One Child at a Time. This is leadership at its best—service born from gratitude and a sincere desire to lift others.
To our extraordinary faculty, staff, and administration: thank you for creating the conditions where these moments can flourish—you lead, uplift, and spark possibility every day.
To our remarkable students: your generosity, resilience, and commitment to each other inspire us daily and strengthen the heart of this community.
To honor and celebrate these moments, I invite you to watch our Thanksgiving video on our YouTube channel—a beautiful reflection of the gratitude and spirit that define Massapequa.

On behalf of our Board of Education and district leadership team, I wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving and time well spent with those you love.
Sincerely,
William Brennan, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools

Earlier today, the District was advised of Nassau County Police Department (NCPD) activity in the area of Bay Drive and Firethorne Court. As a precaution, NCPD directed us to initiate a Secure Lockout at both Massapequa High School and Birch Lane Elementary School. This procedure restricts entry and exit to the buildings while normal instructional activities continue.
At MHS, students who were off campus for lunch were sent email and text notifications about the lockout. While the emails were successfully delivered, we identified and quickly resolved a technical issue that impacted text messages.
During the 90-minute lockout, students continued moving between classes. As the situation stabilized, the high school shifted to a modified lockout, allowing returning students to re-enter the building. District staff, including security and administrators, were deployed to local eateries to safely escort students back to campus.
High school students who missed lunch were provided meals in the cafeteria, with additional seating available in the auditorium. The NCPD authorized us to lift the lockout and issue an “all clear” at 12:20 p.m.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we prioritized the safety of our students and staff.
Sincerely,
William Brennan, Ed.D.
