Your Voice Matters! 📢 Take Our Parent Survey Today!
Dear Parent/Caregiver(s),
The East Windsor Regional School District is participating in the New Jersey School Climate Improvement (NJ SCI) Survey to gather valuable insights from our school community. Each of our six schools has a unique survey link to ensure feedback is appropriately attributed.
Your voice matters, and your input will help us assess strengths, identify areas for improvement, and enhance the overall school climate. The survey is anonymous and voluntary, and the results will be used to develop plans for a more supportive and engaging learning environment.
Please take a moment to complete the survey for your child's school by clicking the appropriate link below and entering the password: parent .
If you have any questions during or after the survey, please contact David Roe at droe@ewrsd.k12.nj.us .
We appreciate your time and participation in this important effort to improve our schools.
Mrs. Fuchsloch and Ms.Carosella, school counselors, ran a school-wide SEL Rotation Day at Walter C. Black. Students discussed what SEL is and why it is important. Students then went to five different stations: Story with a Buddy, Mindfulness Movement Break, Affirmation Station, Feelings in a Flash, and Sensory Center, and completed activities with the help of second grade leaders.

Mar10 Day at GNR!
On March 10, GNR celebrated Mar10 Day in true Mario style! Students and staff brought the Mushroom Kingdom to life by dressing up as their favorite Mario characters, from Mario and Luigi to Princess Peach and Bowser. The excitement continued with a Mario Kart tournament, where students raced for victory and showed off their gaming skills. Classrooms were also buzzing with Mario-themed lessons that integrated problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity. It was a day full of fun, learning, and a little bit of Mario magic!
