Main Office
Mrs. Rosenberger, RN, School Nurse
If someone in your household is symptomatic or being tested, your student(s) CANNOT be in any of our school buildings. Please refer to the links at the bottom for further guidance.
If your child will be absent from school, please contact the absentee line (856)589-2628 option 2 and leave a detailed message with the student's name, grade, and reason for absence. Often, you will be receiving a return call from the Nurse for clarification or for further information.
Reminder: Please send your child with an extra mask in case the one they have breaks or gets soiled.

Thank you for all of your support so far with our Gift Card Raffle Fundraiser. Please continue to return ticket stubs with payment to the main office. If you do not wish to participate in this fundraiser, please send the envelope back ASAP so that we can distribute the extra tickets to families who request more. Final day to return is December 9th. Looking forward to announcing our winners on December 10th at 9am! Please feel free to reach out to Meghan with any questions or ticket requests: kindle.hsa.president@gmail.com or 856-207-6585
HSA Holiday Shop will be December 13th-15th. We will be sending out a SignUp Genius for volunteers to help with shopping and wrapping. If you are unable to volunteer, but would still like to help, we'll also be collecting gift wrapping materials (wrapping paper, gift bags, tissue paper, adhesive gift tags). No need to purchase anything new. We'll gladly take your half used roll of paper or left over adhesive sheet of gift tags. Be sure to label items "HSA Holiday Shop" when sending into school. Thank You!
Also, please join us for this month's HSA Meeting on Tuesday, December 21st at 7pm in the Kindle Library. If you cannot attend in person, a Zoom link will be emailed. Hope to see you there!
COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics
As you may be aware, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Protection (CDC) gave their approval for Emergency Use Authorization to administer COVID-19 vaccines to children ages 5-11.
Vaccination of your child for COVID-19 is voluntary at this time; however, we are aware that many families have been awaiting the CDC authorization, and hope to have their young children fully vaccinated by winter break. As such, we have partnered with the Gloucester County Department of Health to offer two upcoming vaccination clinics to these families:
Memorial School students:
- Clinic location: Memorial School
First Dose: Thursday, 11/18/21, 2pm-4pm
Second Dose: Thursday, 12/9/21, 2pm-4pm
Kindle, Walls, and MS students:
- Clinic location: Pitman High School gym
First Dose: Friday, 11/19/21, 2pm-5pm
Second Dose: Friday, 12/10/21, 2pm-5pm
*** Families with children at multiple schools may choose one of the above clinics for all of their children.
