Dear Parents and Guardians,
I am writing to inform you of a schedule change for our third and fourth-grade students on December 6th and 9th. All Main Road School students will be on all-day local field trips during these dates. By organizing these educational field trips, we will facilitate the installation of a new boiler without the risk of an unexpected school closure.
An urgent issue with the heating system at Main Road School necessitates this adjustment. Our current boiler, approaching the end of its operational life, is not expected to remain operable until December 20, coinciding with the start of our winter break. To ensure the safety and comfort of our students, we must replace it as soon as possible. Schools must be maintained at a minimum temperature of 68° at all times, and without a boiler, we will be unable to meet this requirement.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and your family. All of our teachers will be attending and chaperoning to ensure a valuable experience for the students. Main Road School times will remain unchanged to minimize disruptions to our schedules. Additional details regarding the trips will be provided shortly by the school.
We truly appreciate your understanding and support as we work together to ensure a safe and nurturing learning environment for everyone. Your cooperation means a lot to us during these challenging times. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly at (856) 629-9500.
Thank you very much for your anticipated cooperation and support.
Sincerely,
Brian Betze
Interim Superintendent

In Ms. Graff's Technology class, sixth-grade students at Reutter School are diving into the exciting world of robotics by building and programming their own Lego robots. Through hands-on activities, students are learning the fundamental principles of engineering and coding as they collaborate in teams to design robots that can navigate challenges and complete specific tasks. This interactive learning experience not only fosters creativity and problem-solving skills but also encourages critical thinking as students troubleshoot and refine their designs. As they bring their robotic creations to life, the students gain valuable insights into the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), preparing them for the innovative technologies of the future.

Fun In Science Club
This week in science club, students investigated different household items to determine which would have the greatest success in cleaning dirty pennies. From their investigation they found that ketchup had the biggest impact, leading them to a bigger question... What in the ketchup is causing this to happen? Students explored combinations of the main ingredients in ketchup and concluded that when salt and acidic ingredients were combined, there was a change in the appearance of the pennies. This led to a conversation about chemical reactions and their effects.
Congrats to our "Perfect Attendance" award winners, celebrated at last night's BoE meeting...Abby Cicione, (Nicole Inverso and Lee Cortes...not in picture)
Our new Interim Superintendent, Mr. Betze, reading to Ms. Cicione's 1st grade class. Our students are amazing!!

In Reutter's 5th Grade Art class, Artists are learning about Grant Wood's 1930s painting American Gothic. Artists learned about how American Artists sought individuality from European Artists- creating unique artwork that reflects America. An example of this is American Gothic which portrayed American home life during the Great Depression. This artwork overtime became a subject of parodies. Artists' objective was to create an American Gothic Parody by researching their two favorite characters, transferring them onto watercolor paper, and creating a background with overlapping to create space. Artists designed a house and included a pitch fork to be cohesive with the painting's style. They learned coloring and watercolor techniques to create bright beautiful paintings with texture and value.
