GWMS e*news - January 24th
Dear Parents, Guardians and GW Staff:
** Students should not be dropped off or picked up in front of the school in the morning or at dismissal!** Dropping off on Washington Pl. is dangerous to both children and drivers. We are asking that students not be picked up or dropped off in the Church lot, The church nursery school needs to keep it clear for their employees and nursery school parents as well as our staff parking. If your student can walk or bike to school that is a great option! If not, the safest place to drop off your child is a couple of blocks from school. They can walk to the corner and cross with the crossing guard.
ATTENTION 8th Grade Parents:
This year's yearbook will display a Who's Who baby page. We need one picture of your eighth grade child as a baby to include in the yearbook. Please email the picture to Mrs. Dodd at sdodd@ridgewood.k12.nj.us
MAKE SURE TO TITLE THE EMAIL WITH YOUR CHILD'S FIRST AND LAST NAME! Baby picture LINK
DEADLINE: JANUARY 31st! Email Mrs. Stephanie Dodd with any questions Sdodd@ridgewood.k12.nj.us
