We are moving the Coffee with the Superintendent to next Thursday, March 7th at 7 PM in the CHS Student Center so it does not conflict with the championship basketball game and Merritt Game Night. The focus of the evening next week will be on helping parents with multilingual communication and supports. All are invited, but especially our multilingual parents will find the evening helpful. The language liaisons will meet at 6 PM to prepare.

There are not enough words to explain just how proud we are of our former Mustang, Kai! Kai is currently a 9th grader at Cresskill High School and has self-published his own book titled “Beyond the Magic: The Jewel Thief”! Kai came to share his inspiration for the book, his writing process, and a small excerpt with the current 5th graders! What an inspirational event!!

We have inclement weather approaching that may impact the school day tomorrow. I highly recommend that the entire community download the Cresskill Schools App onto your phone and set your phone to allow for notifications. While we will update the website, send text messages, emails, and voice messages, those messages usually arrive after the notifications on the APP. If you want to know right away, the app is the best way!

Lunar New Year is this Saturday, February 10th. As part of honoring the day, I asked our town DEIB committee to share some resources with our teachers, and they did such a great job that I want to also extend their compiled resources to the larger community for families to use. We are grateful for the DEIB Committee's mission of ensuring that all residents of Cresskill feel belonging and celebrated! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fjXpUERpHZAX5Tk6h1PakeviHWo6__QmYMu7hmNEjbU/edit?usp=drive_web

Look at the Fourth graders in action as they use pattern blocks to understand wholes and fractions. Did you know that if we use a hexagon as one whole, then a trapezoid is 1/2, a rhombus is 1/3, and an equilateral triangle a 1/6? 🤔💭
