Hilltop Elementary School

Crunch and Sip (snack time)

Crunch&Sip is a set time i for students to ‘refuel’ on a healthy snack (fruit,vegetable, cheese stick, beef stick) and ‘rehydrate’ with water. Students who are not hungry and are well hydrated perform better in the classroom, show increased concentration, and are less likely to be irritable. Classrooms are nut free, so please make sure your child's snack does not contain any nuts.

Walker Safety

Local Girl Scout Troop 6072, which includes several MBSD alumni, has created a video on Pedestrian Safety. The video will be shown to students in PE class. It can also be viewed here: https://youtu.be/1Ml81YWESAY.

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.

Please fill out the linked form to reserve a spot for volunteer training. All volunteers must be BOE approved, complete vector training, and receive in-person training to assist in the lunch room, library, and go on your child's field trip.

How Can You Learn Together at Home?

As the school year begins, your child has already started developing the skills to become a stronger reader and writer. It's essential to continue this practice at home. Throughout the year, I'll share some easy tips you can use to support your child's learning.

For additional information on resources on reading/writing, activities/games, what to read at home, or our curriculum, please visit my wakelet site: MBSD Literacy

Tip for this week:

• Read or Listen to stories together.

• Read books, poems, or articles with your articles for enjoyment. When your student is ready, encourage them to read with or to you.

• Engage in discussions about the reading material. What was their favorite part? What did they learn or notice? What questions do they have? This interactive approach can deepen their understanding and foster a love for reading.

Visit the Mendham Borough Library or Chapter 1 Bookstore to explore its books and resources. They also have an excellent list of books that support our curriculum!
