"Promoting School Safety in Changing TImes"
Good afternoon Mountain View parents/guardians,
Please join the HSA at their November 15 general meeting for "Promoting School Safety in Changing Times." The presentation will be conducted by Dr. Thomas Gambino, Education Specialist, Office of School Preparedness and Emergency Planning, New Jersey Department of Education. In early October, Dr. Gambino, along with the members of the Morris County Prosecutors office and the Mendham Borough Police Department, visited the district to review best practices for security with administration. The presentation will provide information regarding common measures to promote district-wide school safety practices. In addition, district administration will discuss initiatives being implemented. The presentation will begin at 6:30 PM in the Hilltop gym.
I hope that you will join us and request that you RSVP via email to Mrs. Liz Juliano at juliano@mendhamboroschools.org by Monday, November 13.
Enjoy the long weekend,
Mrs. Aimee Toth, Principal

Photographs will be on display in the cafeteria as a reminder to the school community that our environmental footprint matters!
