Dear Families,

LET YOUR CHILD SHINE WITH REFLECTIONS!

This year's contest theme is "I Belong." Students can reflect on this theme through six categories: Film Production, Music Composition, Visual Arts, Dance Choreography, Literature and Photography.

Drop off at the Birch Lane lobby on 11/17 or 11/18, 4:45-6:45 PM.

The PTA will recognize every participant at a ceremony at Birch Lane in February. Families are invited. Take this opportunity to share their creativity and talent.

All the guidelines and directions are attached to this email. You can also visit the PTA website for more information. Reflections Arts Program | National PTA

Dear Birch Lane Families:

We are writing to inform you that this school year, we would like to continue our tradition of implementing Positive Thought Thursday. To help promote our building’s positive energy and kindness themes, we will be encouraging our students to wear a T-shirt displaying a positive message on Thursdays, beginning on September 25th
.
T-shirts can include messages such as, but not limited to: “Choose Kind,” “Be the Nice Kid,” “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” Shirts can include any phrase or picture that sends a positive thought and puts a smile on someone’s face!

This is completely optional of course, but we hope you consider having your child participate on Thursdays! Thank you for being such a positive part of our school community!

Best Regards,

Stephen Aspetti & Joyce Larkin

Good Morning Birch Lane Families,

This September 11th marks the 24th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. The day was officially designated as Patriot Day. On this national day of Service and Remembrance, we pay tribute to the heroes and victims who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 and we recommit ourselves to the spirit of unity, patriotism, and service that carried our Nation through in the days that followed.

We are asking for all students and staff are asked to show their patriotism by wearing red, white and blue tomorrow. We will begin our day by observing a moment of silence to reflect upon the lives lost and the impact of that day.

In Remembrance and Unity,

Stephen Aspetti and Joyce Larkin

Good Morning Birch Lane Families,

Over the first few weeks of school and throughout the year, your children will be practicing several emergency drills, including fire, lockdown and secure lockout drills as required by New York State and our district. The purpose of practicing these procedures is for your children and our staff to have familiarity and comfort with the routines.

It is necessary for us to be prepared for any type of emergency. For all of our drills, students are advised and prepared by their teachers in a sensitive and grade appropriate manner. Some drills will be announced and others will be unannounced. If we do need to implement any procedure for an actual emergency, you will be notified.

Best Regards,
Stephen Aspetti and Joyce Larkin

Hello Massapequa!

It’s that time! After nearly a year in the making, we’re proud to share a video capturing the heart, spirit, and pride of Massapequa: our students, our staff, and our community.

More than words, this is the story of our commitment — a community built on connection, tradition, and the belief that together we can unlock a world of possibility for every child. In just 2 minutes and 43 seconds, this video reaffirms our vision: “Creating Leaders… One Child at a Time.” 

I hope you enjoy it, and I invite you to share this inspiring message. Now, let’s get to the show. 💙💛
