Dear Parents/Guardians,
This is a reminder that all confidential health documents (i.e., physicals, doctor’s notes, etc.) must be submitted using the Student Document Upload Ecollect Form available in the Parent Portal. If you already have an Ecollect account, you can sign in using your email address and the password you created. If you are creating an account for the first time, it will be set up when you submit your first document. To begin, click Sign In, enter your email and Parent Portal password, then click Register, agree to the terms, and click Register again. Once registered, you will be able to upload documents for all children linked to your account.
If you already have an account and are unable to sign in using your username and password, please select Forgot Password. Please note that passwords do not sync between the Parent Portal and the Student Document Upload Ecollect Form. We recommend using the same password for both accounts to simplify access.
We kindly ask that you do not email these documents. If you have any questions about uploading documents, please contact your school’s health office.
Sincerely,
The Massapequa School District Health Offices

Dear Unqua Families,
In honor of Veterans Day, we are excited to extend an invitation to our students’ family members, friends, and loved ones who have served or are currently serving in the armed forces. We would be deeply honored if veterans in our community could join us to share their experiences, stories, and insights with our students.
This event is a wonderful opportunity for our students to connect with veterans, understand the importance of service, and express gratitude for the sacrifices made for our country. We believe that hearing directly from veterans will create a lasting impact on our students, helping them appreciate the dedication and courage involved in military service.
If you, a family member, or someone you know is a veteran and would like to participate, please contact your child's classroom teacher. We welcome all veterans, and no prior speaking experience is needed—just a willingness to share with our students. As we know schedules are very busy, and to include as many guests as possible, we are inviting veterans to visit from 11/5-11/13; the specific date and time will be scheduled with the classroom teacher.
Thank you for helping us honor and learn from those who have served. We look forward to making this day a memorable experience for our students and our valued veterans.
With appreciation,
Unqua Administration

Dear Parents,
We look forward to celebrating Halloween with the following activities on Friday, October 31. Classroom teachers will provide you with more details if needed for classroom activities, but here is an overview:
Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 will have a parade after the last lunch period, beginning at approximately 2:00 p.m. The parade route will be out the back door and around the playground equipment, and back into the building. Students in grades 3-5 will be invited outside to watch the parade. Parents are welcome to attend the parade, and are to enter through the south side gates. The gates will be open at 1:50 p.m., after we have cleared the last recess for the afternoon parade.
In case of rain, we will plan an indoor parade route through the building ONLY for students due to space within the building. Information through an email blast will be sent out if the parade is moved to indoors.
Students in grades 3-5 may come dressed for Halloween but, PLEASE, be considerate of our younger students in kindergarten through grade 2. It would be inappropriate to have violent, gory or very scary costumes or masks in school. Although these things may be part of Halloween, they do not belong in an elementary school setting. I know that all parents will cooperate on this issue and I will ask upper grade teachers to reinforce this with their classes. Children wearing inappropriate costumes or masks will be asked to remove them and may be excluded from some activities.
Classroom parties are optional and different teachers may plan different kinds of activities. Ideally, parties will take place after the parade – a nice way to end the day. If this is not possible, the party should take place just before the parade. Naturally, we are trying to preserve the morning for instruction. We are continuing in only distributing pre-packaged factory wrapped snacks to students where the ingredients and nutritional information are clearly labeled. In addition, please Do NOT send in Treat Bags for the class. They will be returned with your child if they are sent in. This is for health and allergy purposes.
I look forward to a great Halloween and encourage all trick-or-treaters to follow their parents’ directions for a safe and healthy Halloween. Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Deanna Catapano, Principal
Laura Hulsaver, Assistant Principal

Hello Unqua Families!
Please note the following reminders for communicating with your child's teacher(s):
Please be sure you are signed up to use Rooms to communicate with your child's teachers. And in return they can communicate with you!
We recommend you use this platform to send messages to your child's teacher that is not a time sensitive manner, such as a change in dismissal.
Dismissal changes should be communicated through a note, the Parent Portal before 10:00 am, or a phone call to the Main Office before 1:30 pm (516-308-5601) in case a teacher is absent or does not have the opportunity to read their messages during the day.
Staff members will get back to you as soon as they are available. If you reach out to a teacher after school hours or on the weekend, please note their reply may not be until the next school day or Monday morning.
We appreciate your cooperation with this as we look to ensure positive communication for all.
Please help support MHS Safe Halloween by donating candy! A bin is set up in the Unqua lobby. Thank you!
