Every effort will be made by teaching staff to provide students with missed work due to COVID protocols in order to avoid falling behind in classes. Please note that students are strongly discouraged from participating in live streams when ill. When a student must be excluded due to COVID-related issues*, the District’s plan to support the continuity of instruction will be as follows:

1. Within one school day of notification, teachers will provide the student written coursework (e.g., posting assignments in Google Classroom/Canvas). Your student’s classroom teacher will provide log-in information for live-streaming.
2. Within two school days of notification, the teachers will provide the student with virtual instruction.

• Exclusion for COVID related issues includes:
  • Checking off a COVID-like symptom on the daily questionnaire
  • COVID positive diagnosis
  • Receiving an exclusion notice HSD

**If your child is sick due to a non-Covid related issue, written work will be provided and teachers will work with your student on their return to school to help them catch up***

If the classroom teacher is absent, Isolated/Quarantined students will not participate in virtual instruction. We recognize that this is not a perfect situation. Still, we are diligently working to staff classrooms with qualified substitutes and/or teachers that can continue rigorous learning for in-person instruction.

Lunch

• If the real feel is 35 degrees or above (changed from 45 degrees), students will eat outside distanced three feet apart.
• If the real feel is below 35 degrees, it’s raining, or the blacktop is too wet, students will eat inside. Grades 2-5 eat in the APR on assigned spots that are distanced three ft. apart. 1st grade students eat in the classroom at assigned spots three ft. apart.
• Parents can sign students out to go home for lunch. Please inform your child’s teacher. Sign-outs take place in the main office.
• Snacks will be eaten outdoors unless it below feels like 15, snowing or raining.
• We use weather.com for our temperature check.

Recess

• If the real feel is 15 degrees or above, we will play outside.
• If the real feel is below 15 degrees, we will play inside.
• We use weather.com for our temperatures.

We make a concerted effort not to call the classroom from the main office, unless absolutely necessary, as this interprets instruction. Please make plans with your child for afterschool in the morning before coming to school.

5th Grade Families - the adults only - are invited to an evening with Haddonfield Middle School administrators and staff to begin the transition process. The HMS 5th Grade Curriculum NIght will provide families an opportunity to learn about the middle school, the course selection and recommendation process, and will be given an overview of the middle school vision and mission for middle level learners.

This event, as of now, is scheduled to be an in person event on February 1 at 7:00 PM in the HMS auditorium. Should there be a need to host this event virtually, families will be informed in advance.

Families can feel free to contact Principal Ms. Tracy Ann Matozzo at tmatozzo@haddonfield.k12.nj.us with any immediate questions or concerns.

Sora is our school's digital library, which is linked to the Haddonfield Public Library and the New Jersey Schools Shared Collection. Students can borrow ebooks and audiobooks using their school Google credentials. Click the link below for directions.

We’re using IXL to support our curriculum in Math and Language Arts this year, and your child has access to this online program at home. With thousands of skills that match what we’re learning, as well as insights into student progress, IXL is a great resource to help your child excel and practice skills.Click Here for IXL Parent Guide

As part of our initiative to provide social-emotional support for our students, EH students have begun taking part in lessons on how to be their "Best Self," helping them to have their actions match who they truly are as individuals. Students are beginning to recognize their feelings, label, regulate, and act from a place that is true to them. Be on the lookout for "Best Self" bracelets and monthly awards to students who demonstrate their "Best Self." If you would like to join this conversation with your students, you may find the questions below to be a helpful resource; they may provide an excellent foundation for a dinner-time conversation about what it means to be our "Best Self."

This link contains short videos where you can view an example of the Everyday Math algorithms, which are different than traditional methods. This is a great resource for assisting students with homework and studying.

As a family, plot yourself on the mood meter. Share where you are and why. Helping your child label his/her feelings enhances self-awareness and helps with the next steps of expressing and regulating emotions.
