The faculty of Cordero would like to thank Mrs. Amiri Allen and Mrs. Petal Gadsden for their tremendous work supporting our student Black History Month performances. Mrs. Allen's vision and hard work along with Mrs. Gadsden's emcee responsibilities made the event happen. The work of our students and teachers Mr. Mulholland and Mrs. Largmann demonstrated tremendous performances.

This Saturday is our first NJSLA Prep class. Students in grades 3-8 have been selected to attend by their teachers. If you are interested, please reach out to your child's teacher for further information or email head teacher Mrs. Lopez. Permission Slips for the program were sent home last week.

This Wednesday, March 4 is the STEM Skating Trip for all Middle School Students. Please make sure students are in their gym uniform this Wednesday. Any further questions can be directed to Ms. Poznanski.

This week is Sneak-A-Peek Week in which families can see the grade their children will move up to next year. Pre-K Registration begins this week as well. More information is available on the Early Childhood website and the Sunday Digest Blog below.

This week we are also celebrating Literacy Spirit Week with a variety of activities celebrating the life of Dr. Seuss and our joy of reading. Special activities and outfit descriptions are listed below. Monday is a tag day for school-appropriate pajamas and Friday is a tag day for jeans with a red and blue top. Each are $1. Please consult with your child's teacher for further questions. 

We continue our annual support of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society through the Pennies for Patients program as the program comes to a close. See the grade level pages here:

An important note from Nurse Stone:

Your child must be fever-free for 24 hours before they can return to school. If a child has vomited they can not return to school for 24 hours. These are state as well as district policies. Please be mindful not to send your child to school if they are sick especially during this flu season. Thank you for helping to keep Cordero as healthy as possible. 

Information regarding the coronavirus can be found on the CDC's website. No cases have been found in NJ. District Statement

The YMCA Program is expanding offerings over the weekends for arts and recreation. Please see their flyer on the Sunday Digest for more information.
