Solar Eclipse Information:

Eclipses occur on our planet when the Sun, Moon, and Earth line up. Exactly how they align determines what kind of eclipse we see. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, blocking at least some of the Sun and casting a shadow on Earth. Solar eclipses only occur during the new moon, when the Moon and Sun are aligned on the same side of Earth (in other words, when the Moon is in the daytime sky).

Safety:

• It is important not to look directly at the sun without proper eye protection. Direct viewing

of the sun during an eclipse can cause serious eye damage or blindness.

• Only ISO-certified solar viewing glasses or solar filters for viewing the eclipse

should be used. Ensure that these glasses meet the necessary safety standards (ISO 12312-2).

• The use of homemade or improvised viewing devices, such as sunglasses or

smoked glass does not provide adequate protection resulting in severe eye damage or blindness.

Please be careful as you pick up your children. Watch for distracted pedestrians or drivers at dismissal. and on your way home.

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.

If you wish to have a student seen by our school counselor, please fill out this form. The responses to this form will be checked once a week. If you have something more urgent to inform the school about, please get in touch with the school's main office during business hours at 609-492-7411. (If your child is in crisis, please dial 988 for support and 911 for emergencies).
