Issue 11: June 24, 2025

As we wrap up the school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on what a wonderful journey this has been. I have truly enjoyed my first year as your principal and feel so grateful to be part of a school community that is filled with kindness, dedication, and a shared commitment to student success. From classroom celebrations and spirit weeks to family events and academic milestones, this year has been filled with memorable moments that brought us all closer together.

I am incredibly proud of the progress our students have made and the strong partnerships we've built with families. As we look ahead, I’m excited for all the fun activities, enriching learning experiences, and new opportunities that the upcoming school year will bring.

To keep the momentum going over the summer, please don’t forget about the summer reading and math assignments that were sent home. Students who complete both will be invited to a special catered breakfast and will have the chance to win exciting raffle prizes when we return in the fall. Thank you for your continued support, and I wish you all a safe, relaxing, and joy-filled summer break.

Warmly,
Dr. Mendez

5th Graders had a blast celebrating the end of the school year with ice cream, parties, and a fantastic Hose Down to cool off! We are very thankful to the Larkin family and the Garfield Fire Department for such a special and refreshing treat!

School 6 went to GHS for Field Day on May 30th! Students did team games and tug of war. Huge shoutout to Ms. Smith and Mr. Mucha for organizing and to the lunch staff for catering for students and staff!

School 6 had their Fun Day on June 3rd! There were inflatables and games set up behind the school.

Congratulations to our 5th Graders on graduating! Best of luck at Garfield Middle School!

As part of their Read Around the Bases challenge, the NJ Jackals challenged students to read and track their progress. Every student received a pair of tickets for the NJ Jackals game on June 5th at Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson. Students had a blast and even received books!

On June 11th, TREP$ sold products and services developed and marketed by 5th graders in the gym. Items included bracelets, shirts, pins, and cups.

I can't believe the end of the year is here! It has been my honor to become a part of the School 6 team and getting to know all of you.

Congratulations to our 5th graders as they continue their journey onto Middle School. Wishing you all the best and we are going to miss all of you.

I hope everyone has a fun, relaxing, and memorable summer. So excited to see everyone in September!

With Love,

Mrs. Buscio

Hello families!

I hope you have a fun and healthy summer! As we prepare for the upcoming school year, please remember to schedule your child’s annual physical and ensure immunizations are up to date. If your child has any medical conditions, allergies, or needs medication at school, please contact me before the first day so we can make sure everything is in place for a safe and smooth start.

Wishing you a safe, happy, and healthy rest of the summer!

Warm regards,

Students who complete both the math and reading packets will be invited to a catered breakfast and will have the opportunity to win raffle prizes when we return to school.

All summer packets are due by Friday, September 12, 2025.

To participate in the catered breakfast and raffle event, students must complete and submit both the math and reading packets by this date.
