Dear Robert Hunter families,
We had another great week of learning at RH, and we have some family events coming up.
We hope to see many of you at our upcoming PTO meeting on Wednesday, April 28th at 7:00 pm. Heather VanFleet, our mindfulness teacher, will be presenting Being a Mindful Parent at this meeting. Come join us and learn more about what mindfulness is all about!
Our PTO basket auction is approaching soon. Save the date - May 14!
The year is flying by, and we are already looking ahead to planning for next year. As a reminder, if you would like to provide any information for class placements, letters are due by the end of the week.
Enjoy the weekend!
Warm Regards,
Mrs. Glaab and Mrs. Braynor

Earth Day Assembly
We are recognizing Earth Day during our April assembly, and we are asking for students’ help! We will be sharing ideas about how we can reuse materials at home to make something new in order to reduce waste. Please see the flyer below and encourage your child to record a video on our school Flipgrid. Also, students are encouraged to wear/nature themed clothing as we recognize Earth Day during our assembly.
School Pictures
Thank you to the PTO for organizing another session of drive-through pictures! Please note that a make-up session has been scheduled for May 4th. In-person students who did not get their picture taken in the fall or spring will have the opportunity to get their picture taken during the school day on April 30th in order to get a yearbook picture. If your child got their picture taken in the fall, but you would still like spring pictures taken, the May 4th make up date will be open to everyone.
A note from Ms. Corfield
Now that we are back to a regular 6-day schedule, virtual students do not have to work on projects in between art classes. They can save their work for their art days. If your child is quarantining for a short period of time, they can bring whatever project they started at home into school and continue to work on it in class. Please email mcorfield@frsd.k12.nj.us if you have any questions.
Class lists for 2021-2022
Creation of class lists is an important responsibility that teachers, school counselors, and administrators take very seriously. A great deal of time and effort goes into creating classes which are well balanced academically and socially. Many factors are considered in making placement decisions. Because it is not as simple as placing a student with a teacher without considering all of the dynamics of each class and the individual and collective needs of the students, the Flemington Raritan School District does not honor parental requests for specific teachers. Parents may write a letter stating specific needs that their child has which may be considered when placing the student. The letter should state facts to consider and not request a teacher. Please submit your letters to Mrs. Glaab or Mrs. Braynor by April 30th.
