Issue 9: May 9, 2025

This week, our 3rd graders completed the NJSLA for both ELA and Math, while our 5th graders tackled the Science NJSLA. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of our families for ensuring students arrived on time each day. We are proud to share that we achieved 100% participation in both grade levels! Your continued support makes all the difference.

Next week, our 4th and 5th graders will take on the ELA and Math portions of the NJSLA, and I’m looking forward to the same level of commitment and encouragement from our school community.

As we head into the weekend, I’d also like to give a special shout out to all the amazing mothers, grandmothers, and aunties in our school family... THANK YOU for all that you do!

With Gratitude,
Dr. Mendez
Principal
