Dear Noecker Families: please please keep children home if they have any COVID-19 Symptoms . Our greatest desire is as much in-person/onsite instruction as possible. Until vaccines are widely available, 14-day quarantining for close contacts is required which impacts staff availability. I know we are all weary, but the virus is not. Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Please see information regarding vaccines below . |

As February comes to a close we look forward to better weather. We also look forward to Read Across America Week ! According to the National Education Association “It is the nation’s largest celebration of reading. This year-round program focuses on motivating children and teens to read through events, partnerships, and reading resources that are about everyone, for everyone.” At Noecker your child will be engaged in various activities throughout the week, including the following themed days:
Monday 3/1 - Read a silly story and wear a silly outfit
Tuesday 3/2 - Read a book about a famous American and dress up like them
Wednesday 3/3 - Read about an influential athlete and wear something to represent your favorite sports team
Thursday 3/4 - Read a book about a different culture - Wear something to represent your family’s culture or hometown
Friday 3/5 - Read your favorite book and wear your favorite color
Teachers will also be discussing the idea that reading is a passport to learning about ourselves and others.” The link will take you to a virtual library that contains several diverse titles. I encourage you to explore and discuss, not only the selections, but the overall importance of reading.
The New Jersey Consortium for Gifted and Talented Programs held a poster contest where students had to create a stamp that represented 2020. Out of nearly 100 entries, two Noecker students were recognized for their entries. Kevin Zhao, grade 6, received third place and Roman Trillo, grade 5, received honorable mention. Congratulations to the Zhao and Trillo families!
