Hello Massapequa!

It’s that time! After nearly a year in the making, we’re proud to share a video capturing the heart, spirit, and pride of Massapequa: our students, our staff, and our community.

More than words, this is the story of our commitment — a community built on connection, tradition, and the belief that together we can unlock a world of possibility for every child. In just 2 minutes and 43 seconds, this video reaffirms our vision: “Creating Leaders… One Child at a Time.” 

I hope you enjoy it, and I invite you to share this inspiring message. Now, let’s get to the show. 💙💛

Good afternoon MHS Families,

Welcome to the start of a new school year! We are excited to begin another year of learning, growth, and achievement together. As we embark on this journey, we want to extend a warm welcome to all returning students and a special greeting to those joining us for the first time.
Today, all students attended grade level orientation assemblies. The building administration presented and explained important information to the classes outlining the protocols, procedures, expectations, and reminders that we hope will set our students up for success this year. We are sharing the slideshow with you so that the message is consistent between home and school.

Key Points that we would like to reinforce are:
1. Cell phone and device procedures are off and away while in the hallways, stairwells, and bathrooms. Teachers will collect and store cell phones during instructional periods. Students can access their cell phones during lunch and /or off periods.
2. All students driving to and from school must have a valid NYS Drivers License, not a junior license (https://dmv.ny.gov/driver-license/younger-driver/the-graduated-license-law ). Students must follow and abide by all parking regulations in the public and private lots/streets surrounding the high school. We have received communication from the local businesses that students have been illegally parking in the lots. Senior parking lottery applications are due on Friday, Sept 9, 2025.
3. Emergency drill procedures and building security protocols were highlighted during the assembly. Parents will receive prior notification of the dates of secure lock out drills, lockdown drills and evacuation drills.

We had a great first couple of days here at MHS and know that it will be a great year ahead.

Reminder- 10th and 11th grade students will have their school photos taken Thursday and Friday during their P.E. classes.

We look forward to meeting you at Back-to-School night on Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2025, at 7pm.
Thank you
MHS Admin.
