While our primary mission is to meet the needs of our students, we cannot forget about you , our parents! As parents we focus so much on our children’s needs and our work life that we seldom practice self-care. I completely understand the challenge of taking care of oneself, especially in the midst of a pandemic. However, unless we practice self-care we cannot be at our very best for our loved ones. In Self-Care in the Time of Coronavirus you will find information about being realistic, reconnecting with things you enjoy, and other important tips. Remember, self-care is not selfish!
Each year the American School Counselor Association reminds us about the important work school counselors do each and every day for our students. Our very own School Counselor, Mrs. Cummings is no exception. She has been working one-on-one, in small-groups, and with entire grade levels providing yoga classes, mindfulness, and many other activities. Her work focuses on ensuring that we support the social and emotional needs of our students. Kudos to Mrs. Cummings and all school counselors out there who continue to do great work!
We will continue with Valentine’s Day celebrations upon our return to hybrid instruction! Please be on the lookout for communication from your child’s homeroom teacher and/or the class parent.
Due to two unrelated positive COVID-19 cases in our district, and under the guidance of the East Hanover (Roseland) Department of Health, Noecker School is operating on our Remote Learning Schedule until we are able to return to our hybrid schedule on Tuesday, February 16th . Teachers may be in contact regarding bin pick ups and Valentine’s Day!
Please be on the lookout for another parent survey! Our mid-November survey found the majority of our parents feeling positive (as one can be during a pandemic) about both instruction and the schedule(s). In our second teacher survey, our teachers reported being on track with pacing and student mastery of core content. We continue to seek opportunities to support socio-emotional learning and connection as those areas were identified in both community and teacher surveys. We also remain focused on where and how to improve student experiences whether hybrid or remote.
*Warning!* Please be aware that we included three (3) Snow Days in our 2020-2021 district calendar, and we have used all three! If additional days are required this winter, we will consider utilizing remote learning days to avoid adding days to the end of the school year.
