Dear Massapequa Community:

As our summer programs begin, we’d like to provide you with the most up-to-date health and safety protocols as they apply to the various programs being conducted throughout the District. These protocols reflect current State guidance, as well as several recent adjustments to camp settings.

Please note the following:

• Staff and students in ALL summer programs must complete the Daily Health Questionnaire, located in a content diamond on the District website: www.msd.k12.ny.us, attesting to the health of the individual on a daily basis.
• For staff and students attending the Massapequa Summer School, Driver’s Education, and the Extended School Year (ESY) Program, as per current New York State mandates for instructional settings, it is required that masks be worn throughout the day when indoors, with appropriate and frequent mask breaks being provided. Masks must also be worn on all transportation.  Masks are not required outdoors.
• As per the Office of Children and Family Services, for our summer camp programs, (Summer Recreation, Sports Camps, Teen Camp, Summer Fine Arts Camp, Marching Band Camp, Camp Invention and Lego Camp), the mandate for masks no longer exists, both indoors and outdoors.  It is now “optional” for students and staff to wear masks in these programs.

Should you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the District Office at 308-5001.

We wish you and your families a happy, healthy and relaxing summer.

Respectfully,

Lucille F. Iconis
