Every school year is a new opportunity to learn and grow. In order to do that, students should be well rested, eat a healthy breakfast, and come to school healthy and ready to participate!
Please use the Genesis Parent Portal to report tardies, absences and early dismissals.
Our own personal experiences with illness such as Covid and the flu remind us of the importance of our health and hygiene routines, and how important it is to practice respiratory etiquette (coughing into our elbows, sneezing into our tissues) and to wash our hands properly throughout the day.
For everyone's safety, it's important to keep your child home if they aren't feeling well! Viruses love to spread - so please call me at 973-584-8957 if you are unsure if your child should come to school or stay home.
FEVERS: Please keep your child home if their temp is 100.4 or greater. Children must be fever free without the use of a fever reducer for 24 hours before they may return. If you need to medicate your child due to a temperature, please do not send them to school.
The District health forms are accessible on the District Health Information tab on the left hand side.
