Happy Tuesday!

I hope you had a fabulous Christmas vacation and a very happy new year!

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for the incredibly generous and thoughtful Christmas gifts. Your kindness truly warms my heart, and I feel so grateful for all that you do. It’s not just the gifts, but the ongoing support, encouragement, and trust you show me throughout the year that make such a difference.

I’m truly blessed to work with such wonderful families, and I appreciate everything you did to make this holiday season extra special.

Wishing you all a joyful and peaceful New Year, and I look forward to continuing our work together in the months ahead.

It is hard to believe but Re-registration for school year 25-26 starts next week. When you receive the forms, please send them in as soon as possible to ensure a space for your child. If they are turned in after the due date, we cannot guarantee a space. As an incentive to get these in as soon as possible, every child who turns a form in before the due date will receive a Dress Down Pass!

As you have heard, Norovirus, a highly contagious stomach bug, is currently very active in New Jersey. Norovirus often causes sudden bouts of vomiting and diarrhea, and it spreads quickly through contact with infected individuals or contaminated surfaces. To help prevent the spread of this virus within our school community, we kindly ask that you keep your children home if they are experiencing any symptoms of norovirus. These symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain. Keeping sick children at home will help protect other students and staff from becoming ill. Please remember that a child must stay home 24 hours after they have vomited.

Please remind your children to wash their hands frequently with soap and water, as hand sanitizer is not effective against norovirus. Additionally, ensure that they avoid sharing food and drinks with others.

Have a fabulous day,

Ms. Kazan
