All students and staff in our district are safe. Reutter School and Janvier School are currently operating a normal schedule. The Main Road School students will remain at Reutter School for the remainder of the school day. Due to road closures, all students who live on Route 40 between Main Road and Tuckahoe Road as well as North Bluebell Road between Tuckahoe Road and Weymouth Road will not have access to busing this afternoon. For the students impacted by road closures, a parent/guardian will need to pick up Reutter School and Main Road School students at the Reutter School Main Office. While Janvier School is not directly impacted by the situation, those students who are affected by the road closure and attend the Mary F. Javier School will be picked up at the Mary F.

Please understand that there might be transportation delays due to the situation going on in town. We are working closely with The Franklin Township Police Department and the Office of Emergency Management. As this is an active situation we will send follow-up communication as necessary.

In Reutter's 5th Grade Art classes, artists investigated the history behind rubber ducks, learning that their original use was to get children to take baths. The first patent was filed by Peter Ganine in 1947 and continues to be a collection item today. Artists were asked to design their rubber ducky out of clay, learning about clay techniques, color mixing, and how to manipulate clay tools.

Gloucester County Superior Court Judge William Ziegler Inspires Students at Reutter School Caroline L.

This event was part of Reutter School’s nationally recognized Character Development Program, which promotes values such as kindness, respect, and empathy. Judge Ziegler’s visit provided a meaningful opportunity for students to reflect on these principles and their role in creating a fair and inclusive society. The Reutter School community extends its gratitude to Judge Ziegler for his impactful visit and for inspiring the next generation of leaders to think critically about civil justice and equality.

Students in Mr. Stagliano's Sixth Grade ELA class engaged in a thought-provoking discussion, exploring their interpretations of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic 'I Have a Dream' speech. Together, they delve into the powerful messages of hope, equality, and unity that continue to inspire generations.

In an engaging lesson on the Revolutionary War and the Second Continental Congress, Sixth Grade Social Studies Teachers Miss Musuras and Miss Davis are empowering their students to step into history! The students are drafting letters to King George, passionately articulating their views on why they believe the American Colonies are not being treated fairly under his rule. This hands-on activity encourages critical thinking and helps students understand the perspectives and grievances that fueled the push for independence.
