Dear Ames Families,
Good morning! As noted on the school district calendar, the Ames Spring Music Concert is taking place at 8pm on Monday, June 9, 2025 in the Baldwin Auditorium at Massapequa High School (Main Campus).
We respectfully request that those who attend the concert stay for the full duration of the performance. When people in the audience enter and leave, they disrupt the concert and others who are trying to enjoy their child’s performance. Our students have practiced since the beginning of the school year and look forward to showcasing their exemplary work. In this regard, they all deserve our full attention and respect. In addition, barring an unforeseen emergency, no performing student will be permitted to leave the concert early. We appreciate your cooperation and your efforts to ensure a full audience for our students’ performances.
On behalf of Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Perticone, and Ms. Tymochko-Dekajlo, we welcome our Ames families to enjoy another outstanding musical performance. For further information specific to each ensemble, please visit the teacher’s Schoology page. We look forward to seeing you there!
Sincerely,
Tania M. Willman, Principal
Danielle E. Kennedy, Executive Assistant to the Principal

Dear Ames Families,
As we approach the exam period, we anticipate an increase in parent pickups and/or drop offs. To ensure the safety of all students and the smooth flow of traffic, we kindly ask for your cooperation with the following:
When students are loading into or unloading from buses, and then walking along the designated sidewalk, it is important to refrain from driving in between or alongside the buses. It is a critical safety concern.
Please do not park in the side lot during arrival and/or dismissal times. This creates unsafe situations where students are crossing between vehicles to reach the school or access their rides.
Avoid using the side parking lot to turn around. Doing so adds to congestion and increases the risk of accidents.
Do not park too close to the parking lot entries and exits or on the street in a way that blocks traffic. This can prevent other vehicles, including buses, from entering or exiting safely and on time.
Please be mindful not to block other cars or buses. Everyone is trying to pick up their children safely and efficiently.
Your attention to these safety measures is for the well-being of our students, staff, and families. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
Sincerely,
Tania Willman, Principal
Danielle Kennedy, Executive Assistant to the Principal
