Thank you to all of our students and families for supporting our Blue-Grey week. We realize that all the dress themes for the week can be challenging.
Most importantly, thank you to all who donated to the food drive. The items donated went to the Bordentown Food Pantry associated with St. Mary’s, and will go to help families in our community.
Hope our students had fun! |

The Acceptable Use Agreement is a document all families acknowledge annually for their students to use the district’s computer network. This was part of the form families had to complete at the start of the year before they could access PowerSchool. Beginning in March of 2025, the Acceptable Use Agreement will be modified as a result of a change to Google’s user agreement. Specifically, the change is to include the following Google applications and that parents are consenting for their children to possibly use them as part of our school computer network. These are applications that students may currently be using as part of our school computer network. See the chart for the list of applications: If there are any questions, please contact me. |

What’s love got to do with it??? An article in Verywellmind titled ”10 Ways to Enjoy Valentine’s Day Solo”, by Arlin Cuncic, discusses how Valentine’s Day, if you are single, can really make you feel like you are missing out on something amazing. You might even be feeling like you are the only person without a partner. The article has good news: “There are plenty of ways to distract yourself (and maybe even forget about the holiday altogether!)” Teens especially might need a reality check that certainly it just feels like everyone has someone but you, and there are even good reasons to not be in a relationship sometimes. But here are some tips to make the day easier to bear: Ignore Valentine’s Day-it’s just one day out of the whole year Be Kind to Yourself-make it a day to treat yourself extra special Be Your Own Secret Admirer-buy your own favorite candy Avoid Love Triggers-like love songs and romantic movies Make Other Plans-play your favorite video game or order out, go for a hike Plan a Date with Other Single Friends-play games, watch a good movie Reach out to someone-you never know who else might be feeling a little lonely Brighten Someone Else’s Day-you could even become a secret admirer Keep Up Your Daily Routine-this helps it feel like any other day
This article could be a springboard for discussion with your students or teens. For the full article visit verywellmind.com. |
