Resiliency is the capacity to withstand or to recover quickly from difficulties. We will focus on lessons and messages associated with Resiliency for the month of April.

Social Emotional Learning Connection:

• Learning coping strategies for stress and anxiety, which are essential for resilience.
• Recognizing and empathizing with others' emotions and perspectives is vital for building strong relationships, which provide support during challenging times, a key aspect of resilience.
• Building and maintaining healthy relationships, including communication and conflict resolution skills, which are crucial for seeking and receiving support when facing adversity.
• Learning to consider the consequences of actions and make ethical choices, which helps us navigate challenging situations with confidence and make responsible choices in the face of adversity.

The 4th-6th graders participated and competed in “The Battle of the Books”! Each student on the team was tasked with reading a novel over the past month, and today each of the teams answered comprehension questions corresponding to the novels! Each team did a wonderful job answering the challenging questions! Congratulations to our winning team and all of those who participated for a great effort.

Thank you to the PTA for purchasing the books!!!

NJ Performance Report- The 2023-2024 NJ Performance Report was released. We have met the annual targets for both ELA and Math again this year with fewer students available to impact our percentages. We showed improved growth in both ELA and Math. We had more significant growth in Math and met the standard for growth in this area. We have increased our ELA screening, tools, and support this year to help address this. If you have any questions, please contact the building principal. We continue to work with families to reduce our absences to improve our chronic absenteeism rate.

• Make A Plan: Families may not be together if a disaster strikes, so it is important to create plans that outline how they will contact each other during an emergency.
• Build a Kit: Assemble emergency kits containing essential supplies like water, non-perishable food, first aid supplies, flashlights, batteries, and important documents. Ensure these kits are easily accessible and periodically updated.
• Ready Kids: Engage students in age-appropriate preparedness activities. Utilize FEMA’s “Ready Kids” resources to teach children about emergency planning.
• Pet Preparedness: Pets are important members of families too, so they need to be included when making a plan.
