Principal's Message
If you missed last night’s Community Information Session you can access the presentation HERE.
We recognize that many establishments are lifting the mask requirement. Please be aware that this does not include schools. Governor Murphy has communicated that masks must continue to be worn through the remainder of the school year.
As we approach warmer weather, please remember to send your student in to school with a water bottle. They will continue to have a mask break each day.
Red, White and Blue Spirit Day!

Principal's Reading Recommendation
I'm planning to spend some of my Memorial Day weekend at the pool. That made me think of one of my favorite books, Jabari Jumps, by Gaia Cornwall. This is a story about a boy overcoming his fears of the diving board. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwXKM7cyYGM
