March Message

We are now moving into March when a good portion of the school year is complete. I implore each parent or guardian to review your child’s progress in all areas of their academic results. In grades K to 6 please look at the reading level, which is designated by a score of A to Z. Have conversations about your child’s progress on the benchmark assessments in Math and English Language Arts. If your child is participating in the Title 1 program there are many programs after school and Saturday available to help close the learning gaps. We are actively working to progress monitor all students who are at-risk or have a learning disability. As I always try to explain, you, the parent, along with the teachers, supervisors, and administrators, must work together to make sure each child has the opportunity for success.

The staff of the North Bergen School District celebrated the achievements of African
Americans in our history and culture during the entire month of February.  To ensure that
we continue to provide our students with a well-rounded education and expose them to
many different African Americans who have impacted American history, teachers
worked collaboratively to cover specific genres and/or themes at each grade level. 
Additionally, we celebrated Presidents Day with various grade bands exploring different
aspects of presidential history. We looked at specific presidents, historical landmarks,
and the rights of the executive branch of government. We used online sites, primary
source documents, historical archives, and multimedia sources to strengthen each child’s
understanding of the presidency.

This month we are celebrating women who have made a significant impact on history and
made important contributions to society. In order to ensure that we continue to provide
our students with a well-rounded education and expose them to many
different women who have impacted society, teachers will work collaboratively to cover
specific genres and/or themes in each grade level.  This will ensure that students will
have exposure to many different historical women as they progress through the school
system.
