Thank you to all students and staff that helped to make this year's holiday show a great success! All staff who worked the program volunteered their time. We thank them and appreciate them. 

Schools will be closed from December 21 through January 1. School resumes in the New Year on January 2nd. During break, please spend some time with your families and rest up. 

In the new year, we will have many exciting things happening at Cordero including a Middle School Parent Information Session. Parents of current 5th grade students may attend. This session is open to any 5th grade parent, not just Cordero parents. More information is available at the following website:

Please receive this important reminder from the Early Childhood Department regarding the flu vaccine for any student enrolled in the Pre-K Program:

"This is just a reminder that the State of New Jersey requires children six months through 59 months of age attending any licensed childcare center or preschool facility to annually receive the influenza vaccine before December 31 of each year.

According to the law, if pre-k children do not receive the flu vaccine by December 31, 2019, he/she must be excluded from school for the flu season (through March 31st), until they receive the one dose of the influenza vaccine, or until they turn 60 months of age, unless exempt.

There is no grace period given for unvaccinated children. Therefore, children will not be able to return to school on January 2, 2020 without proof of the immunization."

Parents that use strollers to transport children, please be advised that we need to keep our entry doors clear. Strollers have contributed to a traffic jam on our sidewalks and this disrupts the safe passage of our teachers and students. Please be mindful of where you are stopping with your strollers. Additionally, please remember that one of the key skills for our younger students is learning how to walk to school independently. If you have the time, please make the time to help your children grow.
