Principal's Update
Hey everyone! Dr. Nover here. Happy Friday!
First and foremost, I would like to remind everyone that we will begin our New York State ELA exam on Tuesday, April 30th. Please ensure that your child arrives at school on time. The exam will begin promptly at 8:04 AM. All students practiced going to their test locations on Thursday, April 25th.
Thank you to Ms. Blye for coordinating virtual author visits for some afternoons during our test days.
I want to continue to reiterate to families the importance of setting boundaries around social media usage. It is very clear based on conversations with students that they are being targeted with concerning information through these platforms. Please continue to speak with your student about healthy boundaries around the times they are on their phones and the applications that they are using. As a reminder, students must be 13 or older to access social media. However, this does not guarantee that they are not being inundated with messages that are concerning and lead to inappropriate behaviors within our school environment.
As always, thank you for your partnership and please do not hesitate to reach out if you need anything. Have a wonderful weekend! I hear the warm weather is on the horizon!
With gratitude,
Nicole Mangiere Nover, Ed.D
