Bogota Middle School Weekly Update

It was another busy week at Bogota Middle School.

Last night, we held our Annual PTO Sponsored Trunk or Treat for students and their families. Today, students dressed up for Halloween and took part in our costume contest. It was a fun way to end the week.

Tomorrow is Halloween. Many of our students will head out to trick-or-treat. Please remind them to stay safe, make good choices, and look out for one another.

Parents who purchased David's Cookies for the PTO Fundraiser can pick them up this Monday, November 9, between 3:00pm and 4:00pm. Please reach out to the PTO for other arrangements to be made if you cannot make it at that time and date.

The Bogota School District will be closed on Tuesday, November 3, for Election Day. Schools will also be closed Thursday, November 5, and Friday, November 6, for the NJEA Convention.

The end of the marking period is coming soon. Now is the time to check grades, talk with your children about their progress, and address any concerns. Please use the Parent Portal to stay informed. If you have questions, reach out to your child's teachers or the main office.

Thank you for your continued support. Have a safe Halloween and a great weekend!

Please review the following important reminders to help keep our students healthy, safe, and ready to learn throughout the school year.

Breakfast and Hydration

• Please encourage your child to eat breakfast before coming to school.

• Bringing a reusable water bottle to school each day is strongly encouraged to help students stay hydrated throughout the day.

Annual Physicals and Immunizations

• Annual physical exams are strongly recommended. Please send a copy of your child's physical to me so we can keep it on file, especially if your child plans to try out for school sports.

Illness and Absences

• Please do not send your child to school if they are sick. Students must be fever-free for at least 24 hours without fever-reducing medication before returning to school.

• If your child will be absent due to illness, please call the school to notify us.

• If your child will be absent for more than three days, a doctor's note is required.

Medication at School

• No medication, including over-the-counter medication, may be taken at school without the required physician's authorization and adherence to school medication procedures. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Lost and Found

• Please remind your child to check the Lost and Found bin each week.

• We currently have two pairs of glasses that were found more than two weeks ago. Please have your child check with the school if they may belong to them.

Feminine Hygiene Products

• Students who would like to keep a labeled pouch of feminine hygiene products in my office are welcome to bring one in.

Please call or email should you have any questions.
