Speech/language Skills for the Summer
Summer is here!! There are so many ways to practice your speech/language skills over the summer without the boring worksheets! Practice your speech in the pool, at the beach, on a walk, while making an obstacle course, on a road trip, etc. It is even okay to take a break! Just remember to have fun :-)
I hope everyone has a fantastic summer!!! -Miss Herriger (Miss H)

Every Day Matters- Attendance
Students who attend school regularly have been shown to achieve at higher levels than students who do not have regular attendance. This relationship between attendance and achievement may appear early in a child's school career. A recent study looking at young children found that absenteeism in kindergarten was associated with negative first grade outcomes such as greater absenteeism in subsequent years and lower achievement in reading, math, and general knowledge
Chronic Absenteeism is defined by the U.S. Department of Education as missing 15 days or more a year. If your child reaches 18 or more absences, it then has to be reported to the State of New Jersey for our School Performance Reports.
Substitute Teachers Needed

NJ HEALTH INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
In 2008, P.L. 2008, Chapter 38 was signed into law and mandates that all children age 18 and under have health insurance. All relevant state agencies continue to engage in outreach strategies to help families meet this requirement.
NJ FamilyCare is a federal and state funded health insurance program created to help New Jersey's uninsured children and certain low-income parents and guardians to have affordable health coverage. It is not a welfare program. NJ FamilyCare is for families who do not have available or affordable employer insurance, and cannot afford to pay the high cost of private health insurance.

Home Academic Support
Here are some resources to help support your child during homework.
