Principal's Message
Dear Allenwood Families,
As we head into the final month of the school year, it is important to stay focused and finish strong. While there is plenty of excitement ahead, maintaining consistent routines and upholding our expectations for effort, attendance, and respect will help ensure a positive and successful end to the year for all students.
I would also like to take a moment to commend our third, fourth, and fifth grade students who recently completed the NJSLA assessment. I am incredibly proud of the dedication they showed, the seriousness with which they approached the test, and the consistent effort they gave each day. Our students demonstrated perseverance, focus, and a commitment to doing their best. They should be proud of themselves—I certainly am!
Please take a moment to review the important dates below and mark your calendars:
