Alder Weekly Update
March 7, 2021
Message from the Principal
Hello Students, Parents, and Staff!
Well, here we are approaching the end of another successful week. Administration and our teachers are preparing for a return of both Groups A and B for instruction 4 days a week. At this time, Mondays will remain virtual instruction days. Administration is working on class size numbers for each section to plan for safe spacing; as well as enact any mitigating measures needed for higher class sizes. This will include the addition of face shields in some spaces and desk shields in others.
Mrs. Pistoia, our Reading Coach, has been leading many activities and celebrations for Read Across America Week. She raffled off prizes this week connected to reading efforts. Many students were excited to participate and share their love of reading!
A reminder again to please forward any pictures of events or your children with friends that we can put in our yearbook. This will be a yearbook to remember, because it will be put together with your help. Our Yearbook Advisor, Mrs. Battersby shared that any community sports and activities are welcome. We would also love pictures that show your child with friends in our community. Send any pictures to battersm@eht.k12.nj.us
We are looking forward to another great week at Alder and we are especially enjoying some warmer weather. Dr. Gruccio has approved Middle School Sports and our nurse is getting physical forms returned. Coaches are beginning to prepare for baseball, softball and track. There are dates on our website and more information coming home shortly. Sports are an amazing way for our students to connect! So please, if your child(ren) are interested, please check out the website or call our front office at 609-383-3366 ext. 1402.
Finally, any issues with health, quarantine concerns, or Covid symptoms, our school nurse is available as follows:
Melanie Charlton- charltom@eht.k12.nj.us 609-383-3366 ext. 1411
Please remember that if you travel to restricted areas and other states, there are quarantine restrictions for returning to school. We are here to help, so please call if you have any questions or if issues arise in which we can help.
Enjoy your weekend and stay safe!
