Message from Mr. Lipson
I wish you all a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving! While it may look a little different from other years, I hope you all enjoy your time together with your family and friends.
Well, maybe just your family this year.
Helpful Reminders
- Please complete your child's COVID pre-screener through Real Time every day.
- Please be sure your child brings their laptop to school fully charged each day.
- Please send your child in with 2 clean masks each day.
- Please know that we take attendance in the morning, and mark whether or not students leave class early. If your child is having difficulty connecting to a class, please let your child's teacher know so we do not mark them absent.
- Please send your child to school with a water bottle.
- Please send in a note if your child is not being dismissed from school according to the original plan.
- Please remind your children to mute themselves when not speaking. It will help teachers present their material without competing sounds.
Thank you!!
Free & Reduced Lunch
Per N.J.A.C. 2:36-1.5(d), "Students are eligible for school meal benefits or free milk for
the school year and up to 30 operating days in the subsequent school year". As of
October 21 2020, all students who previously qualified for free and reduced lunch in the
2019-2020 school year that have not submitted a lunch application for the 2020-2021
school year, have been reset to "paid" status. Although this has no immediate
impact on any student because of the “free lunch for all”, when/if the” free lunch
for all” status is lifted, students will be required to pay for their meals (breakfast
and lunch) until an application has been received and processed.
To avoid an interruption in benefits please proceed to the Realtime Parent Portal to
either fill out an application otherwise, please indicate that you do not wish to apply at
this time. Please note that only ONE (1) application per FAMILY, is required to
determine qualification status.
Report Cards
The 1st Trimester will end on Friday, December 4th.
Report Cards will be released on Real Time on Monday, December 14th.
If any family would like a hard copy of your child's report card,
please feel free to email Mrs. Basciano theresa.basciano@motsd.org in the main office.
