Day 14 of school is in the books and it was a busy one! We held our pumpkin sale, mums sale, and clothing drive. The weather could not have been more perfect; it definitely felt like fall. Thank you to the HSA for all of their work in continuing our Noecker traditions. As October approaches, we look forward to the many events on our calendar.
Along with birthday celebrations and other events, I wanted to remind everyone that we are a nut free school. When sending snacks or lunch with your child, please be mindful of the ingredients and make sure they are school safe. Although students are not allowed to share their food and snack items, at times they do out of the best of intentions.
Dismissal has been going more smoothly each day. Thank you for your continued cooperation with our procedures. Reminder to please remain in your car to help the lines move quickly! If you need to make changes to your child’s pick up mode on the app, please make sure to do so prior to 2:45 pm! That will provide teachers sufficient time to review all of their students' dismissal arrangements for that day. If there are any special circumstances or concerns you may also email your child’s homeroom teacher.
Next week, students in Grades 4-6 will be taking the Start Strong Assessments during periods 1 and 2 (each period is 40 minutes). Please see the testing schedule below and note that Grade 6 will be required to take the Start Strong Science in addition to ELA and Math. In a normal year, this assessment is taken in 5th grade:

On October 13th, we will hold the final session of our series of social-emotional learning (SEL) parent workshops centered on building resilience through loss and adversity. A flyer with more information is coming soon.
You know it is 🍂 FALL when the HSA has mums and pumpkins outside at Noecker School! 💗So hard to believe that the calendar turns to October this week! Assessments continue with Start Strong for grades 4-6 next week which will further guide students’ needs, goal setting, and curriculum pacing.
Our Inclusivity Committee has been working this week on scripts, teaching points, and home extensions for our Trimester 1 theme of Identity. All books, scripts, talking points, etc. will be shared with families in advance of any classroom discussions. The Updated Integrated Inclusivity Presentation is available to aid in your understanding of the "work in progress" nature of this initiative which is aligned to the district goal of Inclusivity which is to build understanding of others’ experiences and perspectives by increasing conversation and instruction around diversity, respect, tolerance, and inclusivity.
REMINDERS:
Please be familiar with the Reopening 2.0 Plan or Reopening 2.0 Presentation as it relates to all things health and safety. For example, do you know that:
-
If experiencing cold symptoms, children should be tested for COVID-19?
-
If someone in your household is being tested, students should stay home?
-
Travel quarantine can be shortened to 7 days (from 10) with a negative PCR test during days 3-5?
Don’t forget to regularly check the LCN COVID Dashboard and FAQ for updates on how Noecker School is doing, including positive cases and quarantining numbers (travel quarantine not included). Have a question that is not listed? Use the Reopening 2.0 FAQ to ask it.
Happy Wednesday Everyone! As September ( somehow! ) is already coming to an end, we excitedly welcome the start of Fall and all of the amazing activities that this season brings to our school and community. Next week, we welcome the arrival of our new School Social Worker and Case Manager, Ms. Meredith Del Bello . For those who will be working with Ms. Del Bello, in either the case management and/or social skills capacity, she will be reaching out to introduce herself and begin the process of integrating fully onto our Noecker Special Services’ team. We look forward to a seamless transition, and, on behalf of the CST/Case Managers, thank everyone for their patience and collaboration as we navigated this first month back. I also would be remiss if I did not take a moment to thank Ms. Hunkele and Ms. Martinelli for their help and efforts during this transitional period.
If you have any questions, concerns, or seek clarifications please do not hesitate to reach out to your case managers , and we will work to address them in a timely manner.
Helpful links:
Please keep students home if they are not feeling well, even if it seems like “only a cold.” If students have traveled outside the tri-state area, someone in the household is waiting for test results, OR they have been exposed to a positive person, please contact the school nurse and stay home until PCR testing or quarantine is complete.
Symptoms of COVID are listed below. S ymptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. Thank you for your continued diligence, support, and adhering to district policy (#1648.11).
