MSD End of Year and Summer Technology Information (All Parents/Guardians)
Dear MSD Parents/Guardians,
We ask that you please note the following important summer technology information:
All current K-11 students that are enrolled in the Massapequa School District for the 2026-27 school year will have access to most digital platforms/resources located on www.msd.k12.ny.us/tech.
All of these resources can be accessed from our district Clever Portal located at www.msd.k12.ny.us/clever and all tutorials are located at www.msd.k12.ny.us/tech.
All student usernames and passwords are located on the Parent Portal Student Portfolio page.
Please note, we recently transitioned our current Kindergarten students from Clever badges to usernames and passwords.
If you need additional support over the summer months, we ask that you please complete our summer account support request form located at www.msd.k12.ny.us/tech.
Students enrolled in secondary Summer School have access to a computer lab for account support.
All current Grade K-11 students that are enrolled in the Massapequa School District for the 2026-27 school year keep their Chromebooks over the summer months.
As a reminder, all parents and students must follow the previously acknowledged Learning… Anytime Anywhere Handbook agreement located at www.msd.k12.ny.us/tech > Student Chromebooks dropdown. (Parent/Guardian and Student responsibilities, Chromebook care, etc.)
It is important for students to charge their Chromebooks throughout the summer to prevent battery issues in September.
All students exiting the Massapequa School District (e.g. Graduating seniors, school district transfers, etc.) are responsible for the return of their Chromebook to their home school prior to leaving on their last day.
Exiting students can transfer or download their Google Drives by following these directions – Takeout or Transfer.
All building loaner Chromebooks must be returned prior to leaving on the last day. If a student Chromebook is in for repair, we will contact you once the Chromebook is ready for pick-up.
If your child needs a physical Chromebook repair over the summer months or prior to the start of the new school year, we ask that you please drop-off the Chromebook at the district office with the front monitor between the hours of 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. (Please follow the troubleshooting steps located at www.msd.k12.ny.us/tech > Student Chromebooks dropdown - prior to drop-off.)
Students enrolled in secondary Summer School have access to a computer lab for support and repairs.
All incoming Massapequa School District students (e.g. Kindergarten, school district transfers, etc.) will receive an assigned Chromebook at the start of the new school year.
Please visit www.msd.k12.ny.us/connect to learn about all the ways to stay connected with the Massapequa School District.
Sincerely,
The Massapequa School District

Dear Berner Middle School Parents,
On Monday, June 15, we will have our annual locker cleanout at Berner Middle School where students will clear out their hallway lockers for the summer. During an extended homeroom period, all students will throw out all unwanted items from their lockers. They should also bring a bag with them to school to take home any items from their lockers they wish to keep (coats, sweatshirts, water bottles, etc.) that might not fit in their backpacks. It is also important for the students to bring home their combination locks. They will then bring their locks back to school in the fall to put on their new hallway locker at Berner or at Ames.
After students have removed their locks from their lockers, they may keep their cell phones off and away in their backpacks for the remainder of the day and during finals week.
Sincerely,
Jason Esposito, Beth Mullins-Peck, Keri Wing, Rob Tucker, Kristen Meoli, Ed Hoffman and Kenneth Petersen

Dear Berner Middle School Eighth Grade Families,
We would like to inform you that this year the Berner Middle School yearbooks will be distributed after school on Monday, June 15.
After receiving their yearbooks, students will have the opportunity to have their classmates and available teachers sign them after school in the cafeteria from 2:55 PM - 3:40 PM. Late buses will be available for those students who pick up and attend the yearbook signing.
All 8th grade students are welcome to attend this event, regardless if they purchased a yearbook or not. Yearbooks will be available for purchase at the event. Should students wish to purchase one, please bring a check or money order for $80 made out to Massapequa Public Schools with your child’s name in the memo.
As we approach this exciting time, we kindly remind students to maintain appropriateness in their messages when writing in their classmates' yearbooks. The Code of Conduct will be enforced to address any issues of concern. Please also note that students will not be permitted to roam the hallways during finals to collect signatures from other students and staff, as this can be disruptive to the learning environment, especially during this critical period of final exams.
Thank you for your continued support!

Dear Berner Middle School Families,
As the weather warms up, we are asking for your partnership in ensuring our students continue to dress appropriately for school. Please review the following reminders with your child:
-Midriffs and undergarments must be fully covered by outer clothing. Tops that are strapless, have plunging necklines, or are see-through are not permitted.
-Clothing should provide appropriate coverage; extremely brief items, such as short-shorts or mini-skirts, are not suitable for the school day.
-Hats, baseball caps, and athletic headbands need to be removed before entering the school building.
-Safe, secure footwear should be worn to prevent accidents during the school day.
Please note that if a student’s attire isn't deemed school-appropriate, we may contact you to bring a change of clothes.
Thank you so much for your continued support and enjoy the warm weather!
Jason Esposito
