Good Morning MHS Families-

As we approach, the celebration of Halloween on Saturday, Oct. 31, 2026, all students/families and staff should be aware of the following guidelines:

• Students may choose to dress “in costume” if the costume is suitable and appropriate in an educational atmosphere as determined by the staff on Friday Oct. 30, 2026. Costumes that represent violence and/or are distasteful/disrespectful are not welcome or acceptable.

• Students are not allowed to carry props. Props include sticks, brooms, weapons, canes, or any item that may be considered by staff to be inappropriate, dangerous, or cumbersome.

• Halloween costume masks/face paint/make-up (that cover the entire face) are not permitted; the identity of any student may not be disguised.

• Friday, October 30th is a regular instructional day, and students are expected to be able to perform all of their assigned tasks while in costume.

• Any students whose costume is disrupting the educational process or deemed inappropriate by staff will be asked to remove the costume.

• If you have any questions regarding costumes, please feel free to call the Dean’s Office at 308-5985.

Thank you in advance for your support.

MHS Admin.

Attention Class of 2027! The Big Picture is scheduled for Thursday, 10/29 at 7:30am. Students should report to their 1st period class for attendance. There will be an announcement to call SENIORS ONLY down to the gym. Students who do not have a 1st period class should report directly to the gym.

Dear BMS, Ames and MHS Families,

I hope this letter finds you and your family well. I am writing to share that the Massapequa School District will be conducting a Student Climate Survey as part of our ongoing efforts to create a positive, safe, and supportive school environment for all students.

We are committed to ensuring that every student feels safe, supported, respected, and connected at school. An important part of that work is listening directly to our students, understanding their experiences, and using their feedback to help guide our efforts moving forward.

The anonymous survey will be administered to students at Berner Middle School, Ames, and Massapequa High School during social studies classes on October 27, 2026. It will focus on students' experiences at school, including school climate, peer relationships, feelings of safety and belonging, and bullying-related behaviors they may have experienced or witnessed.

The survey will be administered by the Long Island Coalition Against Bullying (LICAB) as part of our partnership with the organization. LICAB works with schools and communities throughout Long Island to support bullying prevention, education, and student well-being.

LICAB will independently administer the survey and compile and analyze the results. The District will receive a report summarizing overall trends and findings. Because the survey is anonymous, the purpose is not to identify individual students, but rather to better understand the experiences and perceptions of our students as a whole.

Hearing directly from our students and understanding their perspectives is an important part of shaping our initiatives and strengthening our school communities. Their feedback will help us recognize what we are doing well and identify opportunities for continued growth and improvement. 

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Sincerely,

Dr. William Brennan
Superintendent of Schools
Massapequa Public Schools
