Principal's Message
Dear Palisades Park Families,
I hope you and your families enjoyed the Spring Break and that your children are rejuvenated for the “home stretch” of the school year!
April holds a few important dates, the first of which is the end of MP3 on Tuesday, April 16th. This is a change from the original posted date on our calendar because of the snow day. We continued to see strong attendance numbers and reduced tardiness in March with a total of 97.3% average daily attendance in the month of March. We are hoping for a strong finish of MP3 and carrying that over to the last quarter of the year. April also marks the third and final benchmark assessment before the New Jersey State Learning Assessments (NJSLA) scheduled for May. Please join us in encouraging your child to try their very best on this last benchmark assessment. Not only will these assessments help us identify what to focus on in the coming weeks before the NJSLA but it will also be part of the data points used for academic placements in the 24-25 school year.
