HOME OF THE "PROUD PATRIOTS"
The mission of Cedar Grove Elementary is to grow our students into respectful, curious and productive citizens.
WELCOME BACK, PATRIOTS!
We Are Waiting for You!
Hello, Proud Patriot Families,
The excitement is mounting as we count down the minutes for our students' return to school! We are looking forward to a highly successful school year which prioritizes safety, academics and fun.
Our staff participated in two days of professional development to prepare for a productive and fun experience for all students. We are excited to roll out our new English Language Arts Curriculum using CKLA resources, integrate some new techniques in Math and implement common "Morning Meeting/SEL" activities in K-5! It's going to be a very busy year!!
For any families who missed receiving my last email blast, the following information was shared on 8/26/22. Please see the following important information:
- 8/26/22 Welcome Back Letter
- 22-23 Back to School Letter
- 22-23 Toms River Regional Schools District Calendar
To help prepare you and your child for opening day, please note the following:
- Students should know their FULL name, teacher's name and classroom number.
- Classrooms that start with the number "1" will be on the first floor. Classrooms that start with the number "2" will be on the second floor. (For example, B104 is on the first floor of the B-side of the building.)
- THERE IS NO DROP OFF IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. Only buses are allowed in the front of the building during arrival and dismissal.
- Kindergarten, grade one and grade two students coming by bus will enter the building through door 6. Grade three, four and five students coming by bus will enter the building through door 1.
- Walkers and students arriving by car will enter door 16 or 19 located on the Brookside Parking Lot side of the building.
- Please inform your child's teacher if their dismissal procedure is different from what is scheduled. For example, if your child is eligible for a bus but will not be utilizing the bus, you MUST write a note to the teacher to advise the school that you will be picking up in the Brookside Lot.
- Please prepare for some delays in buses early in the school year. It will take some time for our drivers (and students!) to get used to the routes and time schedules.
Thank you for your support and partnership this year!
See you soon,
Mrs. Monetti
Principal

POSITIVE CULTURE & CLIMATE
The Bedrock of Highly Successful Schools...
This year, we are recommitted to ensuring a physically and emotionally healthy learning environment for students and staff. To that end, we have adopted the following monthly Character Education themes:
- September: We Are Proud Patriots [Respectful, Curious & Productive]
- October: I Am a Good Friend
- November & December: I Have the Power in Me [Zones of Regulation]
- January: I Can Achieve Important Goals
- February: I Can Communicate Clearly and Respectfully
- March: "One Book, One School" (Building-wide Shared Reading Experience)
- April: I Am a Problem Solver
- May: Proud Patriots Care About Our Community & Our World
- June: I Am Proud to be a Patriot [Celebrating successes and leveraging strengths to set goals for next year]
All K-5 students will engage in common "Morning Meeting" activities centered around the above goals. This continuity will create common expectations for our "Proud Patriots" and support a learning environment necessary for high student achievement.
