October Message
 
We are entering October, the leaves are changing colors, and Fall is here.  We are now settling into the school year and the students are thoroughly engaged in learning activities and we are assessing each student's understanding of the curriculum.  I have some important information for you for this month's activities.

First, each school is having a Title I information workshop where we explain what is going on at your child’s school.  This includes tiered learning sessions during the day by interventionists, afterschool programs, and Saturday activities.  These sessions are designed to close the achievement gap and enrich each child’s learning experience.  Additionally, we will be having parent workshops on Saturdays and evenings to inform you of how to help your children at home.  We will also explain what is going on at the schools during these sessions.

Second, to ensure that all students have access to nutritious meals, we are currently accepting applications for free or reduced lunches.  The application can be completed online through a link on our website or you can come to your child's school to complete a paper application.  Also, the amount of students who qualify for this program directly affects the amount of state aid we receive.  If you need assistance please call your child’s school and someone will help you complete the application.

Third, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness and supporting those affected by this disease.  We will also be providing educational resources and activities throughout the month to help students learn about breast cancer, its causes, and prevention. By promoting awareness and fostering a supportive environment, we hope to empower our community to take proactive steps towards their health and well-being.

Lastly, We will be celebrating the 9th annual Hudson County Fair starting Friday, October 4th to Monday, October 14th.  This has always been a fun event where the benefits go towards the North Bergen Educational Foundation. There will be fun rides, games, and good food.  On Thursday, October 8th there will be a special day for North Bergen Students with a reduced price for the Carnival Rides.  All students must wear their school uniform shirt to get the discount.

Enjoy the activities and if you have any questions, comments, or concerns send me an email at [email protected]
 

 Thank you.
