April Character Trait- Resiliency
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.

NJ Performance Reports
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.

Emergency Preparedness
- 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.
