Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated this year from September 15- October 15. Today, LMS students in Ms. Posner's Home Language Arts class took part in celebrating El Día De La Raza by walking the track with this purpose in mind. On October 12th many Spanish-speaking countries celebrate El Día De La Raza. This observance celebrates the birth of a new identify, which is the fusion of two cultures: that of the indigenous people from the Americas and that of the Spanish conquerors. It is a day to celebrate and commemorate Hispanic race and heritage.

The State Education Department is requiring all public schools survey their families to get an accurate picture of the access students have to devices and internet access in their homes. This survey is now available on the Parent Portal for our Middle & High School students. Survey must be completed upon logging in.

Please be advised that starting Tuesday, October 12th, all visitors must use our security entrance located on the Far Rockaway side of the building. Please remember to always have ID with you. Thank you Mr. Perry
