The Weekly Update #3

We are back in full swing! Classrooms are buzzing with activity, learning is in full progress, homework has been assigned, and before we know it, students will be preparing for their first exams. It feels great to be back, and the lovely weather this week has contributed to a rejuvenated enthusiasm all around.

I am pleased to report that all of our new classroom spaces are now in use, with final work being completed after school hours. Additionally, students have been eating lunch in the gym during this time. This arrangement is expected to continue for the next two weeks while the cafeteria project is completed.

Additionally, NJEA magazine wrote a feature story on Lawton C. Johnson. I have attached a link for the article here.

When dropping students off in the morning, please pull all the way into the designated drop-off zone to ensure efficient traffic flow. For example, stopping by the 8th-grade door when there is space to move forward can cause congestion on Morris Avenue.

Additionally, kindly avoid parking in the teacher spots, as we have limited spaces available for our staff.

This week, the administrative team met with each grade level to help students acclimate to the new school year. During these class meetings, we reviewed several important topics including:

Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying (HIB) Law:

Code of Conduct

Acceptable Use Policy for Chromebooks
