This morning, our amazing Girls Running Club participated in the Girls on the Run 5K in Somerville! More than just a running program, this 4th-grade after-school club is dedicated to boosting self-esteem and building strong, confident girls.

Our runners have been working incredibly hard, meeting twice a week since mid-April to train, build endurance, and lift each other up. A huge thank you to our wonderful staff advisors, Mrs. Collymore and Mrs. Maldonado-Gorsak, for their dedication, guidance, and support in helping our girls cross the finish line with confidence!

On a recent rainy day, the girls channeled their energy into creating beautiful, inspiring posters filled with words of encouragement—like "Be Confident!" and "Try Your Best"—which they have proudly hung up around the school to spread positivity to all of our Roosevelt Colts! ✨

As we head into summer, our priority is keeping students safe both physically and emotionally. This letter offers a brief overview of the social-emotional tools your child learned throughout the school year, along with helpful resources for community counseling services. Let’s work together to support student well-being all summer long!

To ensure we can support every student and family effectively, please keep the following information in mind regarding our office hours and communication:

• Office Hours: Our main office is open and ready to assist you from 8:15 AM to 4:15 PM.

• Planning Your Visit: To ensure the right staff member is available to give you their full attention, we kindly ask that you schedule an appointment before coming to the school. This helps us keep our building secure and our schedules organized.

• Ways to Connect: We welcome communication via phone, voicemail, email, and/or ParentSquare.

• Response Time: We value your outreach! Please keep in mind that our staff follows a response window of 24 hours of the next business day for all messages and inquiries. We appreciate your patience as we work to get back to everyone.

Getting Help: Our Chain of Command

When you have a question or concern, the fastest way to get a resolution is to follow the district's "Chain of Command." This ensures you are speaking directly with the staff member who has firsthand knowledge of the situation.

The Manville School District uses ParentSquare as our primary platform for school communication. Families receive messages through email, app, voice, or text, helping everyone stay informed and involved.

With more students than ever using electric bicycles to commute to school, safety on our roads and around school zones has become a top priority. E-bikes are heavier and faster than traditional bicycles, making safe riding habits and strict adherence to traffic laws absolutely critical.

To reduce crashes, prevent serious injuries, and protect all roadway users, New Jersey has put a New State Safety Law into effect. Law enforcement's goal is safety and education —but we need parents and students to understand the rules of the road immediately to ensure everyone gets home safely.
