Principal's Corner
Glenview Families,
Please be alert during morning arrival when dropping off your students. We do have a number of students who walk or ride their bikes to school, so please be mindful of that.
October 12 is Walk/Ride Your Bike to School Day. We encourage as many of our students as possible on that day to walk or ride to school!
-Please complete the Chromebook agreement and Photo Consent forms ASAP! We need those completed in order to supply your child with their Chromebook for the year.
Family Paperwork
Please make sure that the required forms are updated in PowerSchool. New students will not be able to receive their Chromebook until the 1:1 Chromebook Agreement is completed. When you log into your account, the forms can be located on the left hand side. Please complete all forms ‘AA’ through ‘N’. These forms cannot be completed on a cell phone. If you need assistance, please contact your school’s administrative assistant.

Week of Respect
RESPECT is our Character Theme of the Month for October and we are excited that the Haddon Heights Elementary School community will again be participating in the statewide “Week of Respect” this year between October 3rd through October 7th. Throughout the month the students will be engaging in various activities and lessons helping them to define respect, learning to respect themselves, showing respect to others and assisting them to take a stand to help others.
Spirit Days During the “Week of Respect”
Monday - “Highlight respect throughout our schools and community” - Neon Day.
Tuesday -“Hairs to being respectful!” - Crazy hair day
Wednesday- “Follow your dreams; don’t be someone’s bullying nightmare!” - Pajamas Day
Thursday - “Be a good sport, don’t be a bully” - Sports Clothing or Favorite Jersey
Friday- “Garnet & Gold is Crazy About Staying Respectful”- Wear our school colors and the crazier the outfit, socks, or shoes the better; because “Garnets are crazy about our community and proud to show respect!”
We find your commitment and values that you hold as a family to be of the utmost importance. The best way to teach respect is to show respect! When a child experiences respect, they know what it feels like and can begin to understand how important it is. What better way to kick off the “Week of Respect” than to discuss your family’s values and how respect is recognized in your own homes. We appreciate your support as we focus on how we respect ourselves, each other and the environment. We thank you for your continued support during our “Week of Respect” and throughout the school year.
Book Fair
- The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Haddon Heights, October 17-22. We are so excited to have all the newest books that your children want. This year we will also have some time for parents to shop. We can’t wait to get books in students’ hands! We do need volunteers to help. If you are interested in helping, please reach out to Kim Peek (kimglot@gmail or (856)465-7245) or Lauren Parker (lparker3574@gmail.com or (856) 534-4249.)

Sincerely,

Lesson of the Week!
Mrs. Aceto's 3rd Grade
Mrs. Aceto's class brainstormed and generated ideas for their personal narrative. Students played a game of " Would You Rather?" to think about what their interests were, and then reflected on it independently. The class then generated 8-10 words or phrases in their Writer's Notebook that described them!
