Message from Mr. Lipson
I would also like to wish everyone a very happy and peaceful holiday season. While this break may look very differently from other winter breaks, it is still a wonderful time of year to take a pause and be thankful for all that we have in our lives. Hopefully you will all get a chance to see family and friends, either through your computers or socially distanced! Don't forget to wear those masks!
Sincerely,
Scott Lipson, Principal
Free & Reduced Lunch
Per N.J.A.C. 2:36-1.5(d), "Students are eligible for school meal benefits or free milk for
the school year and up to 30 operating days in the subsequent school year". As of
October 21 2020, all students who previously qualified for free and reduced lunch in the
2019-2020 school year that have not submitted a lunch application for the 2020-2021
school year, have been reset to "paid" status. Although this has no immediate
impact on any student because of the “free lunch for all”, when/if the” free lunch
for all” status is lifted, students will be required to pay for their meals (breakfast
and lunch) until an application has been received and processed.
To avoid an interruption in benefits please proceed to the Realtime Parent Portal to
either fill out an application otherwise, please indicate that you do not wish to apply at
this time. Please note that only ONE (1) application per FAMILY, is required to
determine qualification status.

I would like to wish everyone a safe and healthy winter break. We will be posting fun activities and challenges on our padlet page to help keep the students engaged and connected over the break. Encourage them to check it daily as we will be updating it throughout the break. The link should be in their classrooms and you can also access it here https://padlet.com/tincroad/winterbreak
Keep scanning those receipts in your box top app! Every scan helps and they are really adding up! To learn more check out https://www.boxtops4education.com/
