Earlier this afternoon, Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder announced that the department would be increasing its presence at school districts throughout our region tomorrow based on a new TikTok challenge. Students throughout the nation are encouraged to make threats against their schools on Dec. 17. It is important to note that there have not been any specific threats made toward any of the schools in our community or any other Nassau County school; however, out of an abundance of caution, there will be an increased police presence at every school in Nassau County. Please take this time to speak to your children about the importance of responsible social media use. They should never forward inappropriate or threatening social media messages to friends. Instead, please encourage them to immediately report any suspicious activity or threatening posts to a trusted adult. This information must be provided to law enforcement without delay. Thank you for your attention and continued cooperation.

Our research students are once again state winners for the Samsung Solve For Tomorrow Competition. They won $6,500 for submitting their idea to create a device that can detect basement flooding. The device will be coded so that it will set off an alarm and contact the fire department. In light of recent tragedies in NYC where people drowned in basement apartments due to excessive rainfall, the students felt compelled to engineer an apparatus that could help prevent this from happening again in the future. The students are: Hayder Jahangeer Farell Sanchez (Leader) Alicia Maria Ethan Luong (Leader) Dylan Ramsahai Congratulations are in order as well for Mr. Trupia who leads the team. Good luck in the National Semi-Finals! #RamPride #RamResolve
