Dear Parent/Guardian:

Congratulations go out to our 8th grade students for their behavior at Confirmation. It was a wonderful ceremony. Special thanks to Ms. Lopez, Mrs. May and our wonderful Grade School Choir.

The 8th graders will be attending the high school production of “Damn Yankees”, free of charge as a way of saying “thank you’ for making us so proud of them.

Just a reminder that it is very important for your children to be in school during ITBS and COGAT testing.

There will be a Parent Workshop on April 16th at 3PM, which will be conducted by Ms. Brenda De Esso, our ADAAP counselor. The subject is “Thriving Teens”, which is a discussion on how to better communicate with your teenage child. This workshop is based on NYU research.

April 11th – School Science Fair. Parents are invited to view the projects and experiments at dismissal time. The first place winner from 5th through 8th grade qualifies for the District Science Fair on April 24th, which we are hosting. All are invited from 3PM to 5PM.

April 15th – Students are allowed to wear warm weather uniforms. As always, they are not allowed to mix and match. Please refer to the Parent/Student Handbook.
