We started the week celebrating our school custodians. Students wrote thank you messages, helped clear tables at lunch and the Climate Committee sponsored a JERSEY MIKE's lunch. We appreciate all of the hard work they put in each day and night to keep our school clean.

We finished up the Week of Respect with an out pouring of SPIRIT at the first Pep Rally of the year! Thank you to Mrs. Hatton and Ms. Fitzgerald for planning an outstanding event for our students. Senior students, Leo Bautista and Bobby Sabatino led the event and did an amazing job! Although all four classes came out very spirited the JUNIOR CLASS took the spirit stick this time around!

Dear Parent/Guardian:

Earlier this year you received a letter notifying you of the high school graduation procedures mandated by the New Jersey Department of Education. Please note that for the class of 2023 there is no graduation assessment requirement. Students in the class of 2023 must still meet all the other State and local graduation requirements, including but not limited to credit, curriculum, and attendance requirements. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s graduation status, please contact your child’s school counselor.

Congratulations to Thomas Altieri for earning a Raider Acts of Kindness Award. Thomas took time out of his day to report a safety concern to an adult in the building. Thomas was exhibiting Habit # 1, being proactive! Thank you Thomas for caring about your school community!

This month we will begin focusing on Habit # 1: Being Proactive.

What does PROACTIVE parenting look like?

Proactive Parenting is allowing your child to experience life's challenges but also being able to recognize when he or she needs assistance. It is playing an active role in your child's life choices and giving advice and guidance when needed.

• Create plans and follow routines
• Speak with intention and consistency
• Reward the process over the product ( ex. child studied and put effort in but did not earn the grade he or she hoped for)
• Take ownership of mistakes made by child and by parent and learn from them
• Have realistic expectations

Take these REACTIVE phrases out of parenting:

• How many times do I have to tell him?
• She is driving me crazy!
• Why is he is doing this me?

Saturday October 15th from 5:30-9:00pm at Toms River High School East.
