Hello Wildcat Community!
We hope you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends and families. During this time of year, our teachers and staff have so much gratitude for our school community. Thank you all for an outstanding start to the school year.
On the Tuesday before break, we held our annual Turkey Bowl event. Staff took a few moments out of the day to have fun prior to Thanksgiving. The Pie Gobblers were the winners! Congratulations to all participants and thank you to Mrs. Millington for organizing this awesome event year after year.
Parent/Teacher conferences will be held on December 5, 6, and 7. These are all early dismissal days and the school day ends at 12:40 PM. The night conferences will be held on December 5. By this point, you should have an appointment time and day. Please contact your child's teacher with any questions. On the night of your conference, please park at the back of the school and enter through the back door. There will be school personnel there to greet you.

Our second grade students will be embarking on an amazing experience thanks to the support of the Grunin Foundation and Young Audiences of New Jersey. Over the next 12 weeks students will be meeting with Laura Marchese, our Artist in Residence. The students will talk about movement and expression through dance. During the conclusion of their time together they will create a 6 movement piece related to our district curriculum! We look forward to seeing the amazing transformations that will take place during the dance art lab! A big thank you to Young Audiences for providing our students with shirts to wear during our time together.
