Missing Clothing and Other Items
1. Jackets, sweatshirts, sweaters
2. Lunchboxes
3. Waterbottles
We have many items that seem to have no owner. We do ask the students, but often the owner does not recognize his or her own items. Putting names on items would help tremendously.

October, Friday 29, 2021
Times: Kindergarten and First Grade: 9:00 a.m.
Preschool, Second and Third Grades: 10:00 a.m.
Students can come to school dressed in their costumes. However, be mindful that the bus and the school have many staircases. Long, dragging costumes are not to be worn into school. Also, weapons (even fake ones) are not permitted. Avoid extensive facial make-up as it is uncomfortable for a child to keep on all day.
The Readington Township Schools' Strategic Plan
The school continues to work toward meeting the district’s strategic plan. The plan states:
Inquisitive Learning
Create and establish an inquiry-based framework that values an interest-driven learning environment. Learners will, individually and collaboratively, focus on identifying, analyzing, and solving problems as inquisitive members of their community.
Social Awareness
Our learners will feel connected, valued, and secure in a learning environment cultivated by a shared sense of community. Every individual will develop skills that promote an awareness of self and others, including the ability to understand the impact of their decisions.
Partnerships
Establish partnerships that foster meaningful educational opportunities on local, regional, and global scales. Prepare all learners to become engaged and productive citizens through service to others, collaboration, and real-world connections.
TBS SEL Mission Statement
The Mission of Three Bridges School is to provide a caring, nurturing community where all the students feel secure and accepted. We encourage respect, perseverance, independence, and resiliency to maximize personal and academic growth. We believe our choices can have a positive impact on our world as global citizens; therefore, we strive to lead by example.
