As we conclude our Read Across America Week, I want to thank everyone for their tremendous support and involvement. We are looking forward to seeing everyone this evening at our P.T.A.'s Family Fun Night.

Reading with your child/children is a great way to grow there love of reading, explore your imaginations together and bond with your child/children. Many of us do this and especially read stories with our kids at bedtime. It is also just as important to read in front on your child/children. In other words, they should see you reading for pleasure or work. You should take time to share lessons and information you have learned with them. They need to see that reading has value in your life and brings you joy or benefits your life in some manner. While you may not be an avid reader, you still find time to devote to reading things in front of your child/children. If they do not see you value reading and that it is important in some way to you, they could begin to devalue it themselves. You could even do it while they are reading for school or set up family reading times in your home. I learned from both personal and professional experience that reading in front of your children and talking about what you read has tremendous value. The same is true for talking about your day with your child/children. If you ask them about their day and they don't say much, think about how much you really tell them about the ups and downs of your day (within reason of what is appropriate to share). If want them to tell you about their day, you have to be willing to model that (especially as they get older).

Students who attend school regularly have been shown to achieve at higher levels than students who do not have regular attendance. This relationship between attendance and achievement may appear early in a child's school career. A recent study looking at young children found that absenteeism in kindergarten was associated with negative first grade outcomes such as greater absenteeism in subsequent years and lower achievement in reading, math, and general knowledge

Chronic Absenteeism is defined by the U.S. Department of Education as missing 15 days or more a year. If your child reaches 18 or more absences, it then has to be reported to the State of New Jersey for our School Performance Reports.

If you wish to have a student seen by our school counselor, please fill out this form. The responses to this form will be checked once a week. If you have something more urgent to inform the school about, please get in touch with the school's main office during business hours at 609-492-7411. (If your child is in crisis, please dial 988 for support and 911 for emergencies).
