Dear Lockhart Families: We are extremely excited to announce our 2nd annual First Responder Appreciation Day on June 3rd! On this day, we will be celebrating all of the first responders that we have here with our Lockhart families and those around Nassau County. The day will begin with a welcome breakfast for all guests and presenters, followed by Lockhart family members who are first responders going into their child’s classroom to present, and culminating with a large scale parade and stations on the back field, which is organized by the Nassau County Police Department. This is absolutely one of the most memorable days of the year. Already attending and helping facilitate the entire day is the Nassau County Police Commissioner, along with a Mounted Police Unit, K9 Unit, Motorcycle Unit, Special OPS, POP Officers, Massapequa Fire Dept., and EMS. All units will be bringing vehicles to park around the back of Lockhart and on the back blacktop path. These vehicles and horses will begin with a parade and then all grades will spend time visiting the stations. If you are a first responder or someone in your family is, and you would like to present to your child's class, please use the link below to sign up. There is also the opportunity to buy a First Responder Appreciation T Shirt, with all proceeds going to The First Responders Foundation. Please click the link below for more information.

Dear 4th Grade Parents: We apologize for the miscommunication about the cancellation of 4th Grade Sports Club. We know this caused confusion at dismissal and as kids arrived home. Once again, it was our fault and we apologize.
Dear Lockhart Families: The deadline to complete the placement form is Friday, April 4. Each year, the placement process for making future classes is one of the most important, time consuming jobs we have. Multiple staff in the building discuss best placements for our students. Parents are also given the opportunity to give some input into the process, but understand that nothing is guaranteed and the overall decision lies with the school. Please understand, this is not a forum to freely speak about a student or staff member. Please click on the link to gain more information and use the google spreadsheet to enter your input. All responses are due by April 4.

Dear Lockhart Families: Our priority remains providing support and comfort to our students, faculty, and staff as we grieve and navigate this challenging time. We continue to receive the support of additional Psychologists, Social Workers, and Guidance Counselors from other district buildings.
In an effort to continue supporting our students and staff, Lockhart Elementary School has scheduled a visit with a therapy dog during the school day on Friday, March 28, 2025. Our intention is to provide our Second-Grade students and staff with the first opportunity to continue to have a productive outlet for emotions and have an uplifting school experience that fosters engagement. We are in the process of organizing a second visit to provide an opportunity for all students and staff to interact with the therapy dog. Further details will be shared once the next visit is confirmed.
Professionally trained therapy dogs are social, calm, and enjoy engaging with a wide variety of people. Therapy dogs provide unconditional love and attention to students who are interested in interacting with them and encourage feelings of calm. Dogs chosen for therapy dog teams have passed numerous behavioral and health screenings to ensure they are safe and comfortable around various people.
We understand that parents may have a concern related to this school experience, especially if an allergy to dogs exists. As a result, please utilize this brief Google Form only to alert building administration if you prefer that your child avoid interaction with the dogs due to an allergy or other concern. If completing this form, we ask that you do so no later than Thursday, March 27th prior to the close of the school day. Again, at this time, this is for 2nd Grade students. When we confirm a second visit, we will send this form again.
