Dear Lawnside Families,
As we begin the month of February, I want to update you on some of the exciting things happening in our district.
First, we have several special events coming up this month to celebrate Black History Month. Our school has planned several activities to honor the achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout history. As part of our Black History Month celebrations, we also want to highlight the history of Lawnside, NJ. Founded in 1845, Lawnside was one of the first incorporated African American settlements in New Jersey. The town has a rich history and culture that we are proud to honor this month. I encourage you to ask your children about what they are learning.
In addition, parent-teacher conferences will take place on February 6th with two sessions
(2 pm - 4 pm) and (6 pm - 8 pm). This is a valuable opportunity to meet with your child's teacher, review their progress so far this year, and discuss ways to support their continued growth.
On the academic front, our teachers are working hard to prepare students for upcoming state assessment in April and May. Please help your child establish good study and bedtime routines. Getting enough sleep and coming to school rested allows students to focus and do their best work.
As always, thank you for being engaged and supportive partners in your child’s education. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or feedback.
