Dear Robert Hunter families,
We had a great first week at RH - with lots of smiles and great energy across our school. We loved seeing all of our students together in the building! We have focused on building community and developing relationships with one another, and have had a lot of fun in the process!
We celebrated being back in school this past Friday at the PTO social. What a fantastic night! The blacktop was bustling with happy children and families reconnecting with each other. The energy that came from everyone being together after so long was amazing. Thank you to our amazing PTO for organizing the event and to all of the RH teachers who helped scoop water ice!
We are looking forward to Week #2! Please remember that there is no school on Sept. 16th. Sept. 17th will be a Day 1.
We hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weekend!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Glaab and Mrs. Braynor

Back to School Night
We will have Back to School Night on Sept. 23rd. Back to School Night is an opportunity for families to meet their child's teacher and learn about the curriculum. We look forward to seeing families there! Currently, the plan is for the event to be in-person at school. Masks will be required for all families. The event will be staggered by grade level from 6:00-8:30, so that families can attend multiple grade level presentations. The specific times will be shared next week. One parent per child will be able to attend to allow us to socially distance.
Arrival and Dismissal
Thank you for your continued support with our arrival and dismissal procedures. As a reminder, if there is any change to your dismissal procedure, you must email the office and your child’s teacher (as early in the day as possible). Also, you will need to send notification if someone else will be picking up your child. If you don’t receive a response to your email prior to 2:00, please call the office at 908-284-7620 to confirm that the email was received.
Mask Breaks
There has been some recent change in the district regarding masks. Schools will not be conducting whole class indoor mask breaks. However, mask breaks will be provided when needed and will be staggered. Children will be taking mask breaks throughout the day outdoors. The kids have been doing a great job wearing masks and we thank you for your support.
Air-Conditioned Rooms
All rooms at Robert Hunter now have air conditioning! Temperatures fluctuate and we recommend sending your child to school in layers.
Water Bottles and Snack
We encourage all students to continue to bring water bottles to school. Also, teachers are providing time for a snack in the classroom. Please pack a healthy snack for your child. If your child’s classroom has allergy restrictions for snacks, you would have received information from your child's teacher already.
PTO Updates and Reminders
Save the Date! Attend the First PTO meeting to learn more and get involved!
