*A Message From Mrs. Barousse

As we wrap up another great week at SMS, I would like to thank the Home and School for the beautiful luncheon they hosted for our staff on Tuesday in honor of Staff Appreciation Week! This week and next week will be full of sweet treats and fun surprises for our wonderful faculty and staff.

Next week is NJSLA testing. Here are a few important reminders to ensure your child is ready and prepared for test day:

• Charge all Chromebook at home. There will be a limited number of devices available for students to borrow. If no devices are available for a student to borrow, the student will have to participate in a make-up session.
• Be on time for school. Students cannot enter the classroom once the testing session has started. If late to school, the student will have to participate in a make-up session.
• No electronic devices. This includes cell phones, smart watches, etc. All devices must be off and stored away for the duration of the testing session. Students may NOT use smart watches to keep track of time.

*NJSLA Dates to Remember

• May 8th-12th: NJSLA ELA and Math & Make Ups (May 9th-12th)

• May 15th-19th- NJSLA ELA and Math Make Ups & Grade 5 Science

*School Spirit Day

*Home and School Communications

H&S will be sending a communication each week on Wednesdays at 6:00pm. Please be on the lookout!

*Parent Drop Off

Please have your students exit on the passenger side of the vehicle as a safety precaution. This allows your student to exit directly onto the sidewalk.

*Attendance

If your child is absent or going to be late, please remember to notify the school by calling the attendance line. The school number is 856-423-0412. Press 2 for the Samuel Mickle School. Then, press 1 for the Attendance Line.

You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.
