SUPERINTENDENTS UPDATE
Hello and WELCOME BACK!
It is my hope that everyone enjoyed their spring break and were able to recharge for the road to June 24th! The months of May and June will be filled with many end of the year activities and we look forward to the many award ceremonies, performances, prom, and graduation. Be sure to visit your child’s school website for relevant information.
We are still in need of bus drivers. If you know anyone who would be interested in driving a school bus, please have them contact our Transportation Department at 609-927-2443.
We are committed to improving student achievement when we EMBRACE, ENGAGE, and EDUCATE the students of the Egg Harbor Township School District. #EHTPride

FREE COVID-19 TESTING SITES & RESOURCES
FREE COVID-19 Testing Sites and other links to COVID-19 resources in the State of New Jersey, Atlantic County and surrounding counties can be accessed through the following LINK.
STUDENT HEALTH AFFIRMATION
Every student attending EHT Schools must submit a health affirmation form. This form should be reviewed and completed by a parent/guardian and submitted on the first day of school. We ask that in an effort to maintain a safe and healthy environment, you assess your child(ren) every day prior to school and keep them home from school if symptoms are present.
Forms in both English and Spanish are accessible at the following LINK.
Please monitor your child or children for Covid like symptoms prior to sending them to school every day. As per the district health affirmation, Covid-19 like symptoms and Covid-19 situations related to contact tracing, testing and diagnoses are seen in the image above as a reminder. In addition, if a child in your home is exhibiting Covid-19 like symptoms, not only should they remain home and follow-up with their health care provider, but siblings should also remain home and follow the same protocol.

CLIMATE, CULTURE and #EHTPride
CLIMATE, CULTURE & #EHTPride
We are dedicated to learning together, growing together, and healing together within a positive school climate. Celebrations of recognition and reward for achievement, even the littlest steps, will occur in all of our schools as we value the importance of appreciation and respect. We have a lot of #EHTPride in taking care of our students and showcasing their achievements.
We are committed to setting a foundation of culture in our school that includes respect for diversity, inclusion and equity for ALL students and staff. To empower our school community to be positive, supportive, patient, and understanding.To unify all members around one central goal that includes nurturing a strong culture that allows students, teachers, staff, and community members to flourish as individuals and as a community.
With Every Hand Together, Every child, Everyday is provided a relevant learning experience. Our teachers collaborate in professional learning communities to review student progress in order to provide ALL students with the opportunity to learn at high levels. We know that in order to successfully educate each student, we must be cognizant of each student’s individual learning needs. This can only be accomplished if we work together to eliminate any predictability of achievement disparities by race, ethnicity, gender, language, disability, and/or economics. All faculty and staff participated in equity training during our professional learning days. Together, we can achieve more!
