Registration Packets / Student Materials
We are targeting Tuesday for the MMS deliveries and Wednesday for MES.
Workload Balance
Teachers will likely start to build in a day in the week that will have a reduced workload in effort to allow students some time to catch up on classwork or complete missing work.
The teachers are still available daily to student and parents for support.
We hope this helps with workload balance during Remote Learning.
Referrals for April
Well, I thought I would share this one! As you can see we had a sharp improvement in the total number of referrals for the month of April! This is a great trajectory for our students I am thoroughly amazed!
8th Grade Event Planning
This group also started brainstorming solutions for Ceilings Tiles.
More information soon!

Zoom Guidance for Students and Parents
Millburn is taking steps on our end within the settings of Zoom to help make these live meetings as safe and secure for students as possible. Student behavior during live sessions should match that of a typical classroom.
****Allowing students to use the Zoom platform is a privilege and is safe for students to use if they follow the rules. However, Zoom can be used by students in unhealthy ways. Parents must be aware that students can initiate a Zoom conference through their iPad with any other student on our network, or anyone else if they invite from the outside. We don't yet have the ability to limit this option. Please monitor any Zoom conferences that your children participate in, and we strongly recommend keeping iPads out of students' bedrooms overnight.
Millburn is going to turn the Zoom App off at 5pm each night and back on at 8am.
Parents might consider to have students in the room with them anytime they are using Zoom.
