Join us for a PTA Movie Night!

🍿🎬🎥

Doors Open at 6:00 PM

Movie Starts at 6:30 PM

We regret to inform you that due to a technical issue with our school sign, we are currently unable to display​ our PTA fundraiser “Birthday in Lights” announcements. We understand how special this recognition is for our students, and we are working diligently to resolve the issue ​with the sign company as quickly as possible.

We will provide an update as soon as the sign is operational again!

Our students have been working hard to show what they know and have learned thus far! In the coming weeks, students will complete their Winter I-Ready Assessment.
The I-Ready Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that adjusts questions based on student responses. Each item a student receives is based on their answer to the previous question. For example, a series of correct answers will result in slightly harder questions, while a series of incorrect answers will yield slightly easier ones. I-Ready is an online program that will help us determine your child’s strengths and areas for growth, personalize their learning, and monitor their progress since the start of the school year. I-Ready allows us to meet your child where they are and provides us with data to inform instruction.
To help prepare your child for the i-Ready Diagnostic, encourage them to:
- Try their best on each question and try not to rush.
- Use the strategies they learned in class
- For Math questions, use paper and pencil to show work.


You can also learn more about i-Ready by visiting i-ReadyCentral.com/FamilyCenter.
As always, thank you for your continued support and for being a partner in your child’s learning!

Please be advised of the following board policies and district procedures. Thank you for your support in ensuring these policies are adhered to:

Visitors Policy

The safety and well-being of our students, staff, and visitors remain our highest priority. To ensure a secure and organized school environment, are implementing an appointment-only visitation policy across all schools and offices, effective immediately. This allows us to better monitor access to our school campuses and prevent unnecessary disruptions.

Moving forward, no visitors will be allowed inside the schools or district offices without a prior appointment. This policy includes parents, guardians, volunteers, and any other individuals wishing to visit our district.

To arrange a visit, please contact the school office in advance by phone (908-769-6083) or email.
