Dear BEN Bolt Community,
The first month of school has flown by and our students and teachers are working hard. Fourth and Fifth grade students participated in NJ Start Strong on September 13 and 14 and almost all of our students have worked on various assessments and benchmarks throughout this month.
We are so excited for what lies ahead now in October and we know that our students will be learning so much both academically but also socially. We are starting the month off with our Week of Respect and focusing on lessons and activities which remind us to respect ourselves and others.
A few reminders:
As we send out invitations and announcements for upcoming events, please RSVP as soon as possible. We want to make sure that we have plenty of materails for all of our students who have signed up.
If you have not done so already, please sign up for the PTA.
Below please find some important information about signing up for an Edison Library card.
Thank you and if you ever need any help or support please feel free to reach out,
Dr. Nieves
