Happy New Year! 

As we welcome back students to in-person learning, please note that we are working hard to ensure they are safe and learning. Please help us with the following:

• If your child has COVID or has been a close contact, it is imperative you call Nurse Stone. She can provide guidance as to when your child can return and next steps.
• If you have questions about what is going on in a classroom, please reach out to the teacher directly first. If there is a problem that needs a resolution and the teacher isn't able to resolve it, please contact administration (our information is above).
• Remember that our doors will open at 8:30. As the weather continues to be frigid, please ensure your children do not come too early to freeze outside. 
• I want to thank everyone for making our return to in-person learning successful. Your efforts are making it possible for our students to learn in the best environment possible.
• Extended Day Programs will begin shortly. Your child's teacher will be reaching out. 

Mid-Term Testing

Midterms for students in grades 3-8 will happen in the coming week. Please contact your child's teacher regarding dates and support for your child. 

End of Marking Period 2 is Tuesday, February 2

Please review your child's grades on Infinite Campus (link is above). Report cards will not be printed and our conferences will be virtual on February 16 from 1:30p to 3:00p. Teachers will provide information about appointments next week. Please note that if you need longer than 5 minutes, you should schedule an appointment with the teacher outside of the conference time.

Voluntary Student COVID Testing

As noted in Dr. Fernandez's message, we will have in-school COVID testing for students through a partnership between the district and Concentric, a state-approved student COVID testing operation which works in a number of districts in NJ. Please note that the testing is strictly voluntary and requires prior consent.

Should you like to sign up your child for testing, please complete this registration at this link:

https://testcenter.concentricbyginkgo.com/minor-consent/ 

Our School Code is: RDJ001

The last day to sign up for the 1/26 testing is Monday, January 24th in order to facilitate an orderly testing for all students. Any signups completed after 1/24 will be added for the testing on Wednesday, February 2nd. Once you have signed up, you don't need to sign up again.

The testing is for any student regardless of vaccination status. The district did not make any distinction at this time. If there is a concern for a need, we will adjust as any decisions are made. 

As for students who recently tested positive for COVID-19, students who have had COVID-19 within the last 90 days are requested not to test until they have passed the 90-day window. However, parents can still consent to testing so that way when they are outside of that window, they can test. The consent form is a one-time consent form. Anyone who wants their child/children to test must have parental consent on file.

We are working hard to keep everyone as safe as possible. Please continue to communicate any and all needs you have and we will do our very best to help you and your child as we always have. Thank you for your cooperation and support!
