Across grade levels, students are beginning their first units with Amplify CKLA, building knowledge and strengthening important skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening. The Literacy Teacher Coach is completing beginning-of-year DIBELS screenings to assess students' early literacy skills and identify individual strengths and areas for additional support.

ST Math gives students an engaging way to strengthen spatial and temporal reasoning skills that support mathematical thinking and problem-solving. Students work through interactive puzzles to help Jiji the Penguin across the screen, learning to think visually, notice patterns, make predictions, and learn from mistakes. Families are encouraged to support students practicing ST Math at home.

Beginning with the 2026-2027 academic year, New Jersey State statute prohibits personal internet-enabled devices (PIED) from being used in schools throughout the entirety of the school day, from bell-to-bell. Phones are expected to be off and away during the school day to support student focus and face-to-face engagement. Parents are asked to help support this policy.

Students must keep wireless communication devices (cell phones, smart watches, earbuds, wireless headphones) silenced and in a secure place during instructional periods. Smart watches may be worn but only for timekeeping. Students are prohibited from recording audio or video at all times. Exceptions apply for devices documented in IEPs, 504 plans, or Individual Health Plans with prior School Nurse permission. Discipline for violations is governed by the Student Code of Conduct.

Follow the car line arrows to the back of the lot and loop to the left toward the building. Do NOT park and walk your child through the car line. Have your child ready to exit from driver's side of the vehicle. Remain in your car. Additional adults will be at curbside drop-off to help students quickly exit their vehicles. Allow your child to walk up to the entry door independently to keep this area clear during arrival. Remain in the car line while exiting the parking lot. Do not exit the car line to pass other vehicles as this creates unsafe conditions for students exiting their vehicles.

District paperwork will be sent out electronically on August 26 by 9:00 AM. Families whose paperwork is complete will be able to access teacher assignments, bus information, and schedules (at the secondary level), beginning August 28 by 9:00 AM.

Families will receive a Family Report detailing their child's literacy screening results and information about available support services including reading intervention programs.
