First of all, thank you. We thank you for helping the district start 2022. We know that none of us could have imagined starting another year navigating COVID-19, and hope you and your families remain safe and healthy.
As many of you are no doubt aware, on December 27, 2021, the CDC issued a press release shortening the recommended time for isolation and quarantine for the general public.
As we move forward into 2022, I want to send a personal thank you for your support and partnership in helping our schools maintain safe and welcoming environments for our students. I am proud of the fact our schools have continuously stayed open, students and staff have continued to be safe, and students have been engaged in learning and activities.
Recently, we were notified by the New Jersey Department of Health that the CALI score will no longer be used to determine quarantine/monitoring rules.
The JHWMS Student Council had a big and busy week! Students in each group collected snacks throughout the week for the "We Got This Food Drive" of Newark. It was a competition between all 6 middle school teams. The Kingsland team won first place with 1,108 collected crackers and pretzels. The overall total of snacks collected was 3,232! We were then able to make approximately 500 snack bags for those in need. What a way to kick off the holiday season!

It is with tremendous sadness that I share the news of the passing of Steve DiGregorio, former NHS head football coach, NHS social studies teacher, and Nutley alumnus.
Last week, the Nutley Public Schools took part in Sandy Hook Promise’s “Start with Hello." The annual program raises awareness and educates students about social isolation and how to create a connected and inclusive classroom, school, and community.
The ELL students at Lincoln School wrote "hello" in their native language. Other students colored happy faces, one class made an inclusive tree activity and wrote on hands how to include other. Other students wrote positives notes to teachers and their classmates.
Remember this week and always that kindness matters.
Open Houses and Back to School Nights help parents learn about their student/s daily schedule and goals for the year.
