Spoken Word - Ms. Richard is sponsoring the "Spoken Word/ Poetry Club". The club will meet on Thursdays from 3:00-4:00pm in Room 42. She has shared some links of examples of the level of performance our scholars will be working toward. We are are excited to support them as they work on their art and performance skills in this club.
Minga - We have a new program called Minga. You might receive a text from me through Minga if your scholar is in the hall when they are supposed to be in class. The intent is to send you a real time message when your scholar needs a gentle nudge to get to class on time. If you receive a text about this or a consequence your scholar received, please discuss it with them when they get home.
Tutoring - 2nd Chance Tutoring is starting this week. This is a consequence we use when scholars violate school rules. Students will be required to attend an after school tutoring session for an hour as they reflect on their behavior. Scholars who just want some academic help are also invited to attend.
Hall Sweeps - We will continue hall sweeps throughout October to encourage students to make it to class on time. Our goal is to have scholars inside the door when class starts as opposed to in the hall.
Social Restriction - We have added a new consequence for scholars who violate school rules. Student may be placed on Social Restriction for 30, 60, or 180 days. This will mean that they cannot attend any school sponsored social events such as dances, athletic events, pep rallies, etc..
Vision Screening - We will have visitors on 10-13 to screen all students for glasses. They will come back and offer a free pair of glasses to all students in need.

NJROTC Flag-Raising Ceremony,
With American Pride and a renewed sense of tradition,
NJROTC students in uniform will have a special Flag Raising Ceremony. To commemorate this moment, we will be hosting the ceremony at 1:00 PM. Our NJROTC cadets will participate in uniform, adding to the significance and pride of the occasion. This is a historic milestone for our school. For over a decade, the American flag has not flown due to a broken pulley system. Thanks to recent repairs and the dedication of our cadets, we are proud to restore this tradition and raise the flag once again.
