Dear Parents of Grade 3-8 Students,
We are writing to inform you about an important update regarding the New York State English Language Arts (ELA) testing that was scheduled for today, April 8, and tomorrow, April 9.
Due to a statewide technical issue with the NY ELA testing platform, testing is postponed for today, April 8. We will follow-up with additional communication once we confirm the issue is resolved and we receive further guidance from NY State.
At this time, buildings will be resuming their regular schedules. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to ensure a smooth testing process for all students participating in the assessment.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
The Massapequa School District

In the coming months, all third grade students will have the opportunity to select an instrument to begin playing next fall. The Inside Out Performance by the Massapequa Philharmonic is a wonderful way for your child to begin to explore possible instrument choices.
Following the performance, students can participate in the Instrument Meet and Greet; a time to speak with teachers and students, see the instruments up close, and ask questions.
