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!

June 2026
Dear Eighth Grade Parents and Families,
As a reminder, Berner Middle School will be hosting a combined Moving Up and Awards Ceremony for all eighth grade students on Thursday, June 11, 2026 at 6:00 p.m.
The program for the ceremony will include recognition for each individual student, as well as awards for academic, special area classes, and student character. We are so proud of every eighth grade student and cannot wait to share this special moment in time with the Berner community.
In order to accommodate all of our eighth graders’ families to the best extent we can, the ceremony will be held simultaneously in two locations based on the student's last name. Although there are no physical tickets, we ask that no more than four guests accompany each student, as seating is limited.
● Last Names A-G will be in the auditorium
● Last Names H-Z will be in the gymnasium
Additional details for the event:
● Guests will access the gymnasium and auditorium through the entrances at the front of the school.
○ Last names A-G will enter through the Auditorium Entrance.
○ Last names H-Z will enter through the Visitors’ Entrance.
● We anticipate the ceremony will conclude prior to 7:30 p.m.
● Please note this is a school-sponsored activity and all aspects of the Code of Conduct will be enforced.
○ Student attire must be in accordance with the school's Code of Conduct.
We are excited to be able to provide this opportunity for our eighth graders and their families to celebrate this accomplishment together. We thank you in advance for your assistance in helping make the ceremony a success!
Sincerely,
Jason Esposito
Principal
