5th Grade Families - the adults only - are invited to an evening with Haddonfield Middle School administrators and staff to begin the transition process. The HMS 5th Grade Curriculum NIght will provide families an opportunity to learn about the middle school, the course selection and recommendation process, and will be given an overview of the middle school vision and mission for middle level learners.

This event, as of now, is scheduled to be an in person event on February 1 at 7:00 PM in the HMS auditorium. Should there be a need to host this event virtually, families will be informed in advance.

Families can feel free to contact Principal Ms. Tracy Ann Matozzo at tmatozzo@haddonfield.k12.nj.us with any immediate questions or concerns.

• Every effort will be made by teaching staff to provide students with missed work due to COVID protocols in order to avoid falling behind in classes. Please note that students are strongly discouraged from participating in live streams when ill. When a student must be excluded due to COVID-related issues*, the District’s plan to support the continuity of instruction will be as follows:

1. Within one school day of notification, teachers will provide the student written coursework (e.g., posting assignments in Google Classroom/Canvas).

2. Within two school days of notification, the teachers will provide the student with virtual instruction.

• Exclusion for COVID related issues includes:

• Checking off a COVID-like symptom on the daily questionnaire

• COVID positive diagnosis

• Receiving an exclusion notice HSD

**If your child is sick due to a non-Covid related issue, written work will be provided and teachers will work with your student on their return to school to help them catch up***

As part of our initiative to provide social-emotional support for our students, EH students have begun taking part in lessons on how to be their "Best Self," helping them to have their actions match who they truly are as individuals. Students are beginning to recognize their feelings, label, regulate, and act from a place that is true to them. Be on the lookout for "Best Self" bracelets and monthly awards to students who demonstrate their "Best Self." If you would like to join this conversation with your students, you may find the questions below to be a helpful resource; they may provide an excellent foundation for a dinner-time conversation about what it means to be our "Best Self."

This link contains short videos where you can view an example of the Everyday Math algorithms, which are different than traditional methods. This is a great resource for assisting students with homework and studying.

As a family, plot yourself on the mood meter. Share where you are and why. Helping your child label his/her feelings enhances self-awareness and helps with the next steps of expressing and regulating emotions.

The Haddonfield School District has once again enrolled with STOPit!
