Indoor Recess and PE Classes Today: Based on current weather data, the heat index in Massapequa is expected to reach the danger zone. As a precaution, all schools will conduct recess and physical education classes indoors today.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s school.
Stay cool and safe,

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Hello Summer! Due to today’s heat index, we are implementing precautionary measures to ensure the safety and well-being of all students.
Indoor Recess and PE Classes Today: Based on current weather data, the heat index for Massapequa is expected to be in the danger zone. As a result, all schools will hold recess and PE classes indoors today.
Modified Field Day at Unqua: Please note that Unqua Elementary School will still proceed with a modified field day, based on multiple safety precautions in place to protect students from heat-related risks.
At this time, we anticipate that similar indoor recess measures may be needed tomorrow as well. We will continue to monitor the conditions and communicate any changes.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child's school.
Stay cool and safe,
The Massapequa School District
Dear MSD Parents/Guardians,
We hope this message finds you well. We are writing to inform you of an important update regarding how we communicate with you about unverified student absences. In our ongoing efforts to improve communication and ensure easy access to notifications, we are transitioning from phone message alerts to text messages and emails for unverified absences.
What This Means for You:
• If your child is marked absent and the absence has not been verified, you will receive a text message and email instead of a phone call.
• This new system will allow for quicker, more convenient communication and help ensure that you are promptly informed.
As a reminder, all parents are asked to complete the Student Absence Notification Form located on the Parent Portal to inform the school of a verified absence. Thank you for your continued support with our communications.
Sincerely,
The Massapequa School District

To Our Massapequa Family,
As we head into June, I want to take a moment to reflect on what an exciting and meaningful month May was here in Massapequa. One of the highlights was the 100th anniversary celebration of Fairfield Elementary School — our district’s first modern school. It was truly heartwarming to see current students and staff celebrating side-by-side with retired administrators and teachers. That day was a beautiful reminder of the strong roots and rich history that make Massapequa so special. To see all the wonderful things happening in our schools, please check out the latest editions of the Massapequa Minute: https://youtube.com/shorts/ZzH8kgrGXFc?feature=share and the Massapequa Moment: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WHyQb_M75dUzhC8J_O0aGNR0cASHdnZh/view?usp=drive_link Sincerely, Dr. William Brennan, Superintendent of Schools

Dear Grade 4 Parents/Guardians,
All Grade 4 students will be exchanging their currently assigned Chromebook for a new Chromebook in the coming weeks.
Please note the following: If applicable, please remove any personal protective cases from the Chromebook. Students need to bring their current fully charged Chromebook and charger to school on the date indicated by their classroom teacher. Students will keep their current Chromebook bag. The new Chromebook will have a district-issued protective cover that must remain attached at all times. (This is in addition to their Chromebook bag that must be used when the Chromebook is not in-use.) The new Chromebooks may have limited/no battery charge. Teachers have been informed and will plan accordingly.
Thank you, The Massapequa School District
