1st Grade Art Part 2
The first graders are on to Part 2 of their incredible journey into the life and times of famous American Pop Artist, Wayne Thiebud. The group did a most amazing job applying acrylic paint to their canvases in the traditional shape of the iconic candy apple. I applaud their whimsy and flair! And, I am especially intrigued with their advanced shading technique. Stay tuned for the final product!

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
