Dear MHS Students and Families,
This afternoon, Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025 at approx. 2:20pm all MHS- Main Campus students and staff will receive a text message from the building. The text message will read, “MHS notification- Cell Phone Number Test”.
If a student receives this text, they do not have to do anything further. If a student does not receive this text message to the phone they carry with them while in the building, please fill out the following form.
Student Cell Phone Number Form- https://forms.gle/V8UbHXvJTW2JbzHP9
After filling out the form, students will get called down to the GO during their lunch period. They will be asked to provide a cell phone number that will then be corrected in the system.
Thank you for your cooperation,
MHS Admin.
Attention AP Students:
Please view the AP EXAM - CONFLICT FORM and complete it ASAP. If you have conflicting exams you will take one of them on the late testing date.
Thank you,

MHS Homeroom Announcements 10/31/25: https://www.msd.k12.ny.us/mhsannouncements
At approximately 8:45 am the fire alarm sounded unexpectedly at MHS and all students were safely evacuated. Students were outside with staff and admin for approximately 10 minutes. MHS was in communication with the Massapequa Fire Department and the building has been cleared at this time. All students and staff were safely returned the building.
Earlier today, the District was advised of Nassau County Police Department (NCPD) activity in the area of Bay Drive and Firethorne Court. As a precaution, NCPD directed us to initiate a Secure Lockout at both Massapequa High School and Birch Lane Elementary School. This procedure restricts entry and exit to the buildings while normal instructional activities continue.
At MHS, students who were off campus for lunch were sent email and text notifications about the lockout. While the emails were successfully delivered, we identified and quickly resolved a technical issue that impacted text messages.
During the 90-minute lockout, students continued moving between classes. As the situation stabilized, the high school shifted to a modified lockout, allowing returning students to re-enter the building. District staff, including security and administrators, were deployed to local eateries to safely escort students back to campus.
High school students who missed lunch were provided meals in the cafeteria, with additional seating available in the auditorium. The NCPD authorized us to lift the lockout and issue an “all clear” at 12:20 p.m.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we prioritized the safety of our students and staff.
Sincerely,
William Brennan, Ed.D.
Parents and Guardians,
Please be aware that Nassau County Police has notified us that we can lift the Secure Lockout. All classes, including off campus lunch have returned to typical protocols.

Dear MHS Students and Parents/Guardians,
We experienced an issue with students receiving text messages due to a communication platform issue. The issue has been resolved, and students are once again receiving text messages as expected. We are working closely with the company to monitor the system and ensure that this does not happen again in the future.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Sincerely,
The Massapequa School District

Secure Lockout Procedure in Effect
Dear Parents and Guardians,
This morning, Massapequa High School initiated a secure lockout procedure in response to a situation outside of the building in the surrounding community. Please know that all students and staff are safe, and the building remains secure. All activities are continuing as normal inside the building. All students outside of the building at lunch have been notified through text and are asked to stay in their current locations until further notice.
We will notify you as soon as the secure lockout is lifted and normal operations resume. In the meantime, we ask that you do not come to the school as this may interfere with safety procedures.
