SJG Daily Update 6/10/2020 Edition

Now that we are a week away from the end of school, we will be collecting any school materials that you have at your home. Any materials that your children brought home or that were distributed by their teachers during this distance learning time will need to be dropped off at the school this week. We are offering two drop-off windows to accomplish this. These drop-offs will be rain or shine. There will be bins under the overhang. Please provide us with the following format for collecting the materials:

Note: We will not be collecting ChromeBooks at this time. You will receive information from our Technology Department regarding any district devices that are out on loan.

Directions:

1) Put the materials in a plastic bag.

2) Label the bag of materials with the following information:

• Student's Last Name, Student's First Name
• Student' Grade
• Student's Teacher

3) Place the bag of student materials in the bins.

Drop off dates and times:

Wednesday, June 10th from 9am to 3pm

or

Thursday, June 11th from 9 AM to 3pm

Please wear a mask/face covering and keep a minimum of 6 feet from others during the drop-off.

Our 5th grade students have been asked to give provide information for the recognition ceremony by completing a Google Slide for their teachers. This information is a very important part of the recognition day ceremony. I am asking parents to please check with their children to make sure that it is completed.

Also, they will be asked to do other videos for our recognition day virtual ceremony. Please keep on top of them to make sure that those videos get done and sent back as soon as they are needed.

I thank you in helping me make sure the end of the year is great for our 5th graders!

Required immunizations

As of September 1, 2008 every child born on or after January 1, 1997 and enrolled in Grade Sixth (6) must receive:

Dear SJG 5th Grade Parents:

We wanted to provide you with information regarding the upcoming 6th grade sports' physicals. With the uncertainty of school sports and physicals being offered this coming fall, it is suggested that athletes visit their personal medical doctor. At this point, we are just collecting student interests from the survey we previously sent to you.

If the fall season is able to proceed, the coaches will be:

Kristie Rogers (Girl's soccer)

Gregg Slaff (Boy's Soccer)

Daniel Green (Cross Country)

Maryann Goodwin (Cheer)

Samantha Mellea (Field Hockey)

If and when our sports programs are available to proceed:

Please refer to PV School website, https://pv.pequannock.org /ATHLETICS tab top center, drop down menu bottom FORMS, click.

Step 1: Everyone who participates MUST register online. If the physical exam is on file, and within 365 days of try out- done.

Step 2: If you need a physical exam, print forms out.

Thank you,

Cindy Wolkowitz, RN

Being unable to see friends or family, and not having the ability to participate in regular activities is stressful. People working during these times is also stressful as is not working. Teaching our kids at home is stressful. If the stress is becoming a lot, we have two good resources below for parents and we have other resources too. Don't hesitate to reach out to Mr. Im, Mrs. Vacca, or I as well.

This is a service that was shared with us. It is a support group for parents. Give it a look!
