• School Update for the Superintendent

  Friday, July 10, 2020
  

   

  Good afternoon,

   

   

  Hope your summer is going well. As you are most likely aware, Governor Murphy and the Department of Education, on June 26, released guidelines regarding the physical reopening of schools in September. We, as a school district, in conjunction with input from such groups as our Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) and Faculty Councils, are in the process of developing a plan and policies for this reopening. This process will continue over the next few weeks with the goal of communicating the plan to our various stakeholders during the first week of August. In the meantime, please email reopening@clarkschools.org with any input that you might want to share regarding our reopening.

   

   

  Your patience and understanding, as always, are greatly appreciated. Enjoy the weekend ahead.

   

   

  Ed Grande

• Kindergarten Applefest

  Valley Road School Kindergarten students hosted Applefest; a holiday community service tradition that has been celebrated for many years at the school. 

  This event encourages the entire school to get involved in the spirit of giving. The Kindergarten classes each bring in an apple – themed craft item and trade them to older students in grades 1-5.  The craft item is exchanged for cans or boxes of food. All of the food collected from the Kindergarten children was donated to our local town food bank where many families will be able to enjoy a full Thanksgiving dinner. This tradition brings joy to all of the children involved while creating a nice family project where parents and families are involved together. The students donated over 700 food items to deserving families!
