Need Some Help: Although lengthy, the car line for parent pick-up at dismissal moves fairly quickly. We have PreK dismissal at 3 PM with a couple of buses and some families picking up their children and coming through the parking lot. It would be helpful if you would wait until at least 3:10 before starting the car line. I understand many of you are coming from different places or appointments but if you arrive before 3:10, please be very careful and find a parking space. We've had cars lining up before 3 PM and many driving past buses while they are loading.
New School Nurse: Join me in welcoming our new school nurse, Madison Watt. Ms. Watt joins us after working in the emergency department at RWJ-NewBrunswick. She will be working with Mrs. Drake over the next week to learn the school and district procedures and routines.

You must update your information every year to be included in the directory! For those families who have children attending other Hopewell Schools, you will need to update your information for each school that your children attend.
Here's how:
- LOGIN at https://www.beartavernpto.com. Once the Primary Account is set up, the Primary User can "invite" other email addresses to access the account. This allows the Secondary User to have their own login information, but still have access to the family account.

- Select "Create Account" and fill in your name, email (please use the email where this newsletter arrived), and password.
- Click "verify my email" and then check your email for a link to complete the process. The link expires within 2 hours. If you do not receive the email, check your spam or junk folders.
- Once you have verified your email address, log back in and finish the 3 step registration process.
- Complete the Parent/Family and Student Information.
- Complete the Directory/Publish Preferences. By marking active, you are allowing other Bear Tavern families to see whatever contact information you choose to share. This is a great feature to foster friendships with playdates, birthday parties, etc.
