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 Grade 4 Parents/Guardians,
We previously shared that Chromebook distribution would be delayed due to device availability. We are pleased to inform you that the Chromebooks have arrived and will be distributed before the end of the school year.
All Grade 4 students will exchange their currently assigned Chromebook for a new Chromebook on the date provided by their classroom teacher.
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

Dear East Lake Parents and Guardians,
We are writing to inform you that there was an ambulance on our school campus earlier today to assist with a medical situation. Our staff followed all safety protocols. The situation was handled with the utmost care and efficiency. Throughout the situation, our staff and students followed their normal schedules with minimal disruption to their school day. We understand that seeing an ambulance at the school can be concerning. We want to emphasize that the safety and health of our students and staff are our top priorities. We are grateful for the response of the emergency services and the cooperation of our school community.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Sincerely,
Mr. McKillop and Mrs. Velte
