October 2, 2025

To our Massapequa Family,

We’re just over a month into the 2025-26 school year, and what an amazing start it’s been! In September, we welcomed nearly 6,500 students across our nine schools, and the energy has been inspiring.

This year’s theme, “Paradigm of Potential: The Power of Connection and Community,” is already coming to life. Our students’ curiosity and determination show limitless potential, the bonds between students and educators grow stronger each day, and the support of our Massapequa community makes it all possible.

I’m excited to share our September edition of the Massapequa Minute and Moment! This month’s highlights include the joy of the first day of school, powerful lessons of remembrance on Sept. 11, the announcement of our Class of 2026 valedictorian and salutatorian, International Dot Day, and so much more.

Massapequa Minute – September 2025

Massapequa Moment – September 2025

Looking ahead to October, we have a full calendar of events that bring our schools and community together—Breast Cancer Awareness Month activities, Unity Day, Red Ribbon Week, Board of Education Recognition Week, Halloween parades, and one of the most anticipated traditions of the year: Homecoming! We can’t wait to see you along Park Boulevard for the parade on Oct. 25 and in the stands cheering on our student-athletes. 

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
Dr. William Brennan
Superintendent of Schools
