I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a happy and healthy 2020. I hope that you have enjoyed your holidays and are ready and excited to get the new year started.
I am happy to report that we have recently learned that we are once again recognized as a New Jersey School of Character and The West Milford School District was recognized as a NJ District of Character as well. We should hear from the national committee in the Spring. This is a tremendous honor for our students, staff, parents and community. In the meantime we will continue to grow our character education program and along those lines you can expect your child to be held to the highest standards academically as well as socially and emotionally. We will be striving to develop children who are successful in the classroom as well as outside the classroom.
There are some exciting things in store for us as we move out of Winter and into the Spring. Scheduling for the 2020 - 2021 school year is underway. We are completing our preparation to welcome the 5th graders to our school as our first group of 6th graders this Fall. We will continue to use LinkIt! data collection platform as a means to measure the growth of our students throughout the school year. It is full steam ahead as we work towards helping our students master our curriculum and the standards needed for a successful outcome on the NJSLA in April and May.
Please continue to get involved with their child’s experience by communicating with his or her teachers, and discussing the things that took place during their day. Also please visit our website often and refer to our Honeywell Instant alerts for important information throughout the school year.
