10th Annual
Run for Vets Event
Over 800 students, teachers, staff, and veterans came out to show their support, even though it was raining.  Run for Vets was a complete success; it started with a breakfast where many students invited a veteran to be honored, many of who stayed to speak with social studies classes throughout the day, and finished up with the walk/run after school outside.  Congratulations to all that participated and won awards in the walk/run.

From the Principal

Dear Parents and Students,
 
As we approach the mid-point of the school year, I am pleased to report that the Christa McAuliffe Middle School has several programs to assist students in preparation for upcoming NJ Ask State Testing.  
  • Software titled Study Island is now being used to help students better prepare for the NJ Ask Test.  Teachers are utilizing the computer labs with their classes to take versions of the NJ Ask test that are graded in real time.  This helps teachers identify areas in which students may need remediation. 
  • Teachers are available after school if your child requires extra help. 
Testing will take place on April 27, 28, 29, and 30 for all seventh and eighth grade students.  May 3, 4, 5, and 6 will be testing for sixth grade students.  Delayed openings will be in place for all testing dates.
 
If the staff of the Christa McAuliffe Middle School can be of assistance, please contact us at 732-833-4701.



 
Sincerely,
 
Kevin DiEugenio
