Announcements and Updates
Enrichments
Enrichments start next week. Parents can choose a plan change for each date your child will be in enrichment, choose enrichment as the dismissal option, and add in the notes who can pick up or if the student will be dismissed to after care.
Dogs at drop-off and pick up
The only area in which leashed dogs are permitted on school grounds is in the back on the far grass. This allows ample space for our students who are scared of dogs to stay on the back patio without interacting with dogs. NO DOGS are permitted in the front during drop-off and pick-up.If you prefer to bring your dog to pick-up or drop-off, please change your default plan and pick up your child in the back of the building.
Attendance
A reminder regarding student attendance: Per Mendham Borough Board of Education regulation 5200, "A day in session shall consist of not less than four hours, exclusive of recess and lunch periods." A student who arrives late or leaves early and does not meet the four hour minimum will be marked absent. Students must be present for a full day (at least 4 hours of instruction)
Late to school or absent
Please email or call Nurse Kaitlyn to inform the school if your child will be absent or late to school. Any child that arrives after 8:35 must be signed in by their parent/guardian
Pick Up Patrol
Please note that any changes regarding your child’s dismissal plan MUST be entered in Pick-Up Patrol. After 1:00 p.m. any changes must be called into the main office. Staff will send your child to the designated area as specified in the daily dismissal report

Head Lice
We would like to be proactive with stopping the spread of head lice this school year. Please be diligent in checking your child's scalp at home, reporting to the school any instances of active lice, and treating your child's scalp if they have lice. Communication between home and school is essential.
Some helpful tips are
- Girls should wear their hair in a ponytail or braids. Hairspray also can create barrier that make it more difficult for lice to settle in your child's scalp
- Encourage children to be mindful of head-to-head contact with others, especially during play or other activities
- Your child's stuffed animals and bedding should be washed and dried in high temperature settings
