Dear Grade 4 Parents/Guardians, All Grade 4 students will be exchanging their currently assigned Chromebook for a new Chromebook in the coming weeks. 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 Lockhart Families: We are excited for the Kindergarten playground construction to begin on Monday! Everything is right on schedule, with the demolition at multiple buildings now complete.

We know our Kindergarten is very excited and we are certain they will love the new playground. Our arrival procedures will remain the same, but there will certainly be more machinery and equipment in that area beginning next week.
