Notes for the Upcoming Week
With the various parent/community involvement opportunities occurring recently, thank you for your partnership and continued involvement in your children's education. Recently, our students and veterans both benefitted from their lunch time together, Parent Visitation Day provided the opportunity to get a glimpse of your children in the classroom, and conferences help to build upon those important school-home connections. Thank you for your involvement in making these successful events.
NJDOE Exemplary Educator Award - Ms. Macaluso
Congratulations and recognition go to Nicole Macaluso in being named a 2022 New Jersey Department of Education Exemplary Educator!
The goal of the NJDOE Exemplary Educator Recognition Program was to identify outstanding educators for their strong knowledge and skills, inspiring presence, and for the positive impact that they have on students, colleagues, and the school community. As was noted in her recognition letter, "it is clear that Ms. Macaluso genuinely cares about her students, both inside and outside of the classroom." In the entire state of New Jersey, only 181 educators have been named a New Jersey Exemplary Educator. Please join me in congratulating Nicole for this recognition and the life-changing work being done each day!
