BW- A big thank you to Dr. Carlos Rocha for visiting our kindergarten students and teaching them all about dental health! 🦷✨ They loved learning how to brush their teeth correctly and left with bright smiles.
Members of the Rockaway Twp. Community:
The article in today’s Daily Record indicates that the Rockaway Twp. School District will be holding a referendum vote on March 11, 2025. The statement (https://5il.co/33u9h) issued on December 20, 2024, explains that the date of the referendum has been postponed: "Given the current uncertainty, we are exploring the option of an alternative referendum date, later than March 2025. The roadblocks created by the NJDEP, coupled with the limited options for suitable in-district properties, make it increasingly difficult to meet the urgent needs of our students and families.” I apologize for the misinformation and the confusion caused by the article. Please continue to check our website for the most up-to-date information regarding the referendum. Dr. Corbett

CAD - Mrs. Samad, Alayna, Zade and Mrs. Rimawi shared the beauty of Ramadan with the 4th grade students! They talked about the importance of kindness, compassion, and reflection during this special time. Alayna and Zade even read us beautiful books and shared their thoughts on kindness. We were so inspired by their kindness board, where they focused on being the ‘light’ in someone else's day! It’s amazing to see them embracing these values and spreading positivity. #Ramadan #Kindness #LightInTheWorld #4thGradeLove #ActsOfKindness #Dwyer #NoWallsNoLimits
