Hello everyone this is Doctor George Solter, Superintendent of the North Bergen School District. We are now in February and have completed two marking periods. I would like to give you some information about what is happening in our schools this month.

First, during February we celebrate Black History Month. Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history. In our classes we do many activities, read literature, and perform skits to better understand these many accomplishments.

Second, report cards became available starting February 6th on the Realtime parent portal. If you are having issues logging on please call your child’s school for assistance. When you view the grades please feel free to contact the teacher to discuss your child's academic understanding of the curriculum. We welcome your questions, comments, and concerns.

Third, we are celebrating Presidents’ Weekend on Friday, February 17th, and Monday, February 20th. The Presidents’ Day holiday helps us to reflect on not just the first president, but also the founding of our nation, its values, and what Washington calls in his Farewell Address the “beloved Constitution and union, as received from the Founding Fathers.” We will be off from school these days.

Fourth, we take any instances of harassment, bullying or intimidation very seriously. Each school has a team in place to do investigations and remediate any situation. Additionally, we have assemblies for students to be informed about HIBs as well as how to get along with each other. The staff has workshops on how to handle conflicts between students. When a situation arises we look to use appropriate discipline for the offense, educate each student on an appropriate way to interact, and counsel students who have difficulty with a social, emotional, and well-being based response to the issue.

Lastly, we are coming to the conclusion of the winter sports schedule where some teams are participating in league and state playoffs.  Also, the registration is in process for our spring sports teams. All of our student athletes are working very hard and we would like to show them that we as a community are behind them. The schedule of events is located on our website, so please make some time to come and support the North Bergen student-athletes as they compete.

Thank you.
