We ask that you please note the following important summer technology information:

• 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.

  • It is important for students to charge their Chromebooks throughout the summer to prevent battery issues in September.

  • Exiting students can transfer or download their Google Drives by following these directions – Takeout or Transfer.

(Please follow the troubleshooting steps located at www.msd.k12.ny.us/tech > Student Chromebooks dropdown - prior to drop-off.)

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 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
