NJSLA Score Reports
Dear Parent or Guardian,
In the spring, your student participated in the New Jersey Student Learning Assessments (NJSLA). In the coming days our schools will be mailing out your child’s results on these assessments. For assistance in interpreting your child’s score, you may visit https://www.nj.gov/education/ assessment/parents/. If you have any questions about these assessments, please do not hesitate to contact me at 973-457-2506 ext. 3038.
Best wishes for a successful year.
Sincerely,
Sean M. Devine

Jeff Lake Trip & End of Trip Snack
- Remember arrival for 4th grade students is at 8:10. We depart at 8:30. Students should report right to their classrooms.
- All children should come to school in comfortable clothes or athletic wear and SNEAKERS are a must. Due to the current weather in the morning, it is a good idea to dress in layers (long sleeve on top of a t-shirt).
- For your information, included in the trip will be a snack at the end of the day. Jeff Lake will serve Rich's Savagely Sour Ice Pops. The snack is nut, gluten, dairy, and high fructose corn syrup free. The ingredients are listed below. Also, here is a link to the product information. Ingredients: water, sugar, corn, syrup, citric acid, natural and artificial flavors, stabilizer (guar gum, dextrose, carob bean gum, carrageenan) artificial color (red #40, yellow #5, blue #1).

Box Tops for Education
Once again, Lafayette will be participating in the Box Tops for Education program to earn additional money for our school. Last year, LAF was able to raise $400!
The program is changing!
We can still collect paper Box Tops (or bonus certificates) while they last. You can double dip by scanning your receipt and sending in the paper Box Tops!
Our first paper collection will run until Friday, October 25, 2019. To make the submission process more efficient, we would appreciate your help as follows:
· Send in any Boxtops you have collected in a sealable (Ziploc-type) bag or envelope OR
· Tape or glue Box Tops on a plain piece of paper
· Box Tops can be submitted to your child's teacher or to the basket in the LAF school office
