Dear Parents/Guardians,
We are writing to bring your attention to a dangerous trend that has recently emerged on social media. This trend encourages users to microwave gel-filled toys, such as NeeDoh and similar products. These actions can cause the toys to rupture or explode, potentially resulting in serious burns and injuries.
As a community, it is important that we stay informed about emerging trends that may unknowingly put our children at risk. We believe it is essential to make you aware of this particularly hazardous behavior involving popular toys so that you can discuss it with your child or children, if appropriate. The safety of our students remains our top priority.
As always, we encourage parents and guardians to maintain ongoing conversations with their children about responsible social media use, the importance of sound judgment, and the potential risks and consequences associated with participating in viral challenges.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
Sincerely,
The Massapequa School District

Dear Fairfield Families,
It is wonderful to see so many students staying active by biking to school! To help keep our school community safe and enjoyable for everyone, we ask that you please take a moment this week to chat with your child about key bike safety protocols.
To ensure a safe and efficient environment, adherence to the following protocols is of significant importance. We ask that students follow these directives to maintain order and safety for all:
Always wear a properly fitted helmet for every ride.
Yield to pedestrians and give walkers plenty of space on the sidewalks.
Maintain a slow, controlled pace when on or near school property.
Stay alert and aware of your surroundings, especially near car-loading zones.
Dismount and walk your bike if the path becomes crowded or congested.
We love seeing our students arrive energized and ready to learn. Thank you for helping us keep our walkways safe and friendly for all our Fairfield families!
Sincerely,
Dr. Gerhard
