A FOCUS ON READING SCHOOL
MS. ISABEL LEON , PRINCIPAL
MR. ROBERT BRADY, ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL
THE SCHOOL YEAR 2011-12 ALL STUDENTS RECEIVED NEW AGENDAS. THE AGENDAS WILL ADVISE PARENTS/GUARDIANS OF SPELLING WORDS, BEHAVIOR, AND HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS. PLEASE CHECK BOOKBAGS EACH DAY FOR NOTICES AND HOMEWORK, ASSIGNMENTS. CHECKING EACH DAY WILL KEEP YOU UP -TO -DATE ON YOUR CHILDS WORK.
WE INVITE ANY PARENT/GUARDIAN TO VOLUNTEER THEIR TIME TO DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES IN OUR SCHOOL. PERHAPS READING TO OUR STUDENTS, ASSISTING IN THE CAFETERIA, HELPING IN OUR COMMUNITY ROOM WOULD BE OF INTEREST TO YOU.
I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT ALL TEACHERS' SCHEDULES WERE IN PLACE FROM DAY ONE, MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO START OUR "FOCUS ON READING "IMMEDIATELY. A MUTUAL PLANNING TIME DURING THE SCHOOL DAY WAS ARRANGED FOR TEACHER COLLABORATION.
EACH CLASSROOM WILL HAVE ITS OWN LIBRARY WHERE CHILDREN MAY READ FOR ENJOYMENT. THE STUDENTS WILL ALSO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT THE SCHOOL LIBRARY ONCE A WEEK WITH THEIR CLASS.
NEW - OUR STUDENTS WILL HAVE PHYSICAL EDUCATION EVERYDAY AND HEALTH WILL BE TAUGHT BY THE CLASSROOM TEACHER.
PLEASE CALL 973-470-8933 FOR SCHOOL CLOSING INFORMATION
A FOCUS ON READING SCHOOL
SCHOOL #9 CONSISTS OF GRADES 3 - 6
AT #9 WE PROVIDE NINETY MINUTES OF UNINTERRUPED READING TO EACH CHILD.
THE STUDENTS ARE READING IN GROUPS AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT OUR SCHOOL LIBRARY ON A WEEKLY BASIS.
AT #9 WE ENCOURAGE OUR STUDENTS TO READ FOR PLEASURE. EACH CLASSROOM HAS ITS OWN LIBRARY AND STUDENTS MAY ENJOY READING MATERIALS OF THEIR CHOICE. WE ALSO HAVE A LENDING LIBRARY IN OUR CAFETERIA.
WE ENCOURAGE PARENTS/GUARDIANS TO READ TO THEIR CHILDREN AT HOME AND/OR HAVE THEIR CHILDREN READ TO YOU. HOME READING PARTICIPATION IS MOST IMPORTANT IN BUILDING YOUR CHILD'S VOCABULARY, UNDERSTANDING, AND READING ABILITIES.
IF ANY PARENT/GUARDIAN HAS EXTRA TIME AND WOULD LIKE TO VOLUNTEER TO READ TO OUR STUDENTS, WE WELCOME YOUR ASSISTANCE. CONTACT OUR OFFICE TO SET UP A TIME SCHEDULE.
REMEMBER...
IF ONE CAN READ, EVERYTHING IS WITHIN REACH!
