Please join us for a thank-you luncheon on June 12th from 12:00-2:00pm. See attached invitation for details. Keeping Kids HydratedPlease make sure your child has a water bottle at school Get your child in the habit early on by scheduling frequent beverage breaks during activity, about every 20 minutes or so in hot weather. Children often prefer flavored beverages to plain water and will drink up to 90 percent more when it is offered to them. Sports drinks replace electrolytes lost from the body. Such beverages should be limited to use during athletic competitions or active play on a hot day. Avoid drinks that have caffeine, such as iced tea or many sodas. As a diuretic, caffeine can contribute to the dehydration process. As a stimulant, it can depress the symptoms of dehydration. If you have a hard time convincing your child to take a break from play to drink a beverage, offer a Popsicle. Many fruits are excellent sources of water as well as being a nutritious snack. Offer fruits often during playtime and throw them in the cooler for after-game snacks. Reminders: v Please send in documentation for the required 6th grade vaccines. This is a NJ regulation. v Please get an MD order for any over the counter or prescription medications your child may need during allergy season (eye drops, ointments, etc.) Alexis Sacks, MSN, CSN, RN

Baldwin's Blast - Casino Night Thank You

Tue, 20 Mar 2012 13:26:00 EST

Dear Parents,On behalf of myself and the rest of the Adult Social Committee members, I would like to thank all those who participated in Central School's Casino Night. It was a huge success! Thanks to all of you we raised close to $9000 for the PTO. Money raised by the PTO helps to provide the students with special programs they would otherwise not have access to such as Science Day and Health and Fitness Day. This year the PTO helped to fund brand new playground equipment which the children will enjoy for years to come. We would also like to thank the many sponors who generously donated the products and services which enabled us to create 74 fabulous prize baskets and many great silent auction items. Please see the list attached. We hope that you will continue to support the PTO and, in turn, enhance our children's education.Thank you,Jennifer Archold

Baldwin's Blast - Halloween letter - Trunk or Treat - Halloween Costume Collection

Tue, 11 Oct 2011 14:15:00 EST

Oct. 17-19 Halloween Costume Collection - Central School Social Action Committee will be collecting gently used or new Halloween Costumes to give to underprivileged and/or needy children who would not otherwise have a costume for Halloween. Oct. 19 PTO Meeting 1:45 PM Oct. 20 Brite Nights at Wagner Farm Oct. 21 The Signature Project Assembly Oct. 28 Spirit Day Pep Rally Oct. 28 Central School first “Trunk or Treat Night” Oct. 31 Fifth Grade Fundraiser – Pizza & Ice Cream Day Oct. 31 Halloween Parade – 1:45 PM - see attached letter for more information Nov. 1-4 Halloween Candy Collection Central School Parents, We are in the process of planning Central School's first ''Trunk or Treat'' event. ''Trunk or Treat'' is when people gather and park their cars in a large parking lot. They open their trunks, or the backs of their vehicles, and decorate them. Then they pass out candy from their trunks. The event provides a safe family environment for trick or treaters. At this time the committee is trying to find out how many people are interested in ''hosting'' a vehicle, meaning people who want to bring their vehicle, decorate it and hand out candy. We are hoping to get at least 20 participants but would love it if we had more. Right now we are thinking about setting all of vehicles up within the gate on the blacktop so we can keep everyone safe. The date is 10/28 and the time will be 6:30-8pm, everyone who is going to host a vehicle must be at the school by 6pm in order to set up (the committee will be there at 5:30pm). And, for safety's sake NO ONE will be able to pull their car out of the black top area until 8:15! We cannot have people trying to leave the area while children are still mingling about. When decorating your vehicle please use your imaginations and ''do it up'' as much as you want (music, games, etc.). We are not picking a theme so you can do whatever interests you (keeping in mind that these are children please!); we would also like to strongly suggests that the adults participating dress in costume to add to the festive nature. Please email Steph Tell at mitgtell@optonline.net by 10/14 if you are interested in hosting a vehicle. Also, we are looking for Halloween inflatables to borrow for the evening so please let us know if you have any that you would like to donate for the evening. Thank you, Steph Tell, Cathy William, Nancy Galbraith and Kristen Clapcich Kidstuff Books – Please support your PTO and you will be saving money also. Remember, if you do not want the book, you must return it to school. Brite Nites with Woodland School Flyers were given to students so fill out, send in your payment and join in the fun.

This trip will allow parents to expose their children to a unique experience and adventure at an amazing science center. This program sells out quickly, so we need to receive payment and registration forms by October 14th. For any additional questions, please contact Jeannine Sarosy at neenrosy@yahoo.com

Everyone got off the bus, a little excited and in the case of some kindergarteners, a little anxious, but I was very proud of how the older siblings or older students assisted the new students to their classrooms. That is a tribute to their character and I thank you for raising such responsible children. Lunch and recess went off without a problem and students seemed to enjoy catching up with old friends that they had not seen over the summer. Please remember that Food Days will not begin until October, so please remember to pack a snack, lunch, and a drink (will be available on September 20th) until those days begin. This morning we will be acknowledging the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 through song, poetry, and reading to the children about heroes. We hope that our students will remember those affected and celebrate those ordinary people who did extraordinary things to help others in need. As you may know, the first couple of days the buses tend to run a little late, please bear with us as the drivers get all the stops in order. We will do our best to get the busses loaded and on the road as quickly as possible. By Monday, the students will be assigned a permanent bus seat. Mrs. Milita A message from Mr. Nimmo and Mr. Gant for 4th & 5th grade parents :We are very much looking forward to starting an exciting year of instrumental music in the coming weeks! Although our instrumental music recruitment programs took place last June which has traditionally been our deadline, we will still allow last minute instrumental music program registration until the end of the school day on Monday September 12. If your child is interested in playing a musical instrument, but has not yet signed up for the instrumental music program, please e-mail Mr. Nimmo at gnimmo@warrentboe.org or Mr. Gant at bgant@warrentboe.org at your earliest convenience. After the deadline on Monday September 12, ONLY NEW TRANSFER STUDENTS WILL BE ADDED TO OUR PROGRAM THIS SCHOOL YEAR. Thank you! It is going to be a very musical year!

Before my first day of retirement begins on July 1st, I wanted to thank everyone for another successful school year at Central School. We are so proud of the many accomplishments of our students, academically, socially, and behaviorally. The Central School staff has once again gone the extra mile to teach the children not only the district curriculum, but also provide many enriching and challenging projects.

Plans for the day: 1.) After morning announcements, all classes will proceed to the gym for ''Toy Story 3''. Encourage your children to bring pillows, towels, or blankets to sit on in the gym. The movie is 1 hour and 43 minutes. 2.) At this time, we have 56 students who indicate they will be absent. Although we attempted to determine how many students will be present, it is fair to guess that more than 56 students will be absent. Therefore, we cannot determine how much popcorn to purchase. In order to avoid wasting it, there will be no popcorn during the movie. 3.)The movie should end at 11:00 (if we begin at 9:15). Classes will return to their rooms, go to the bathroom, wash their hands, and procure their lunches. At 11:15, students and staff will return to the gym for lunch. 4.) About 11:35, students will proceed, in groups to the APR where an ice cream truck will be waiting for children to select an ice cream of their choice. Students may opt for a popsicle, or bring an alternate treat if they have an allergy to ice cream. 5.) Students will return to the class to pack up for dismissal. 6.) If you know that your child will be absent on Friday, PLEASE leave a message for Mrs. Justice on her phone. Mary Lou Cebula

International Day

Sun, 5 Jun 2011 19:04:00 EST

HATS OFF AND BRAVO to everyone connected with International Day at Central School this past Friday. What an event! The 12 countries were well represented with decorations, artifacts, videos, food, customs, traditions, history, geography, and so much more. The students and staff had quite an experience traveling from one country to another learning is such a fun and entertaining manner. This could not have occurred without the months of planning, preparation, and organization by the co-chairs: Mrs. Pila and Mrs. Sarosy. They logged in hours and hours of effort to make the day a resounding success. I would also like to thank all the Central School parents, their families, and friends who prepared each country, spent the entire day sharing their country's story with each class that visited, and enriched our children's lives. Thanks also to Mrs. Auriemma and the office staff for assisting with many details in preparation of International Day. Finally, thanks to the tech department, Mr. Kuhlken, and the custodial staff for help setting up rooms and equipment. What a wonderful and memorable day! Mary Lou Cebula

Baldwin's Blast – Principal Search Update - Kindergarten Placements - Teacher Appreciation Week - Movie Night Rescheduled – Voting Reminder – 5th Grade Health Requirement Update

Thu, 14 Apr 2011 14:50:00 EST

April 15 – Movie Night has been moved to May 20th April 18 – Passover begins April 22 – Good Friday – School closed April 25 – School Closed April 27 – BOE Budget and Vote – Polls open 7AM -9PM Principal’s Update: I would like to update you on the status of hiring a new principal for Central School. As you know, a search committee conducted interviews and two finalists visited our school. After their visits and reference checks, it was determined that neither candidate was a match. At the April 11th Board of Education meeting, it was decided that the search would begin again. Dr. Crader, Superintendent of Schools, will place an advertisement in the Sunday Star-Ledger indicating that previous applicants need not apply. The same process that was used for the first ''go-round'' will be utilized again. Kindergarten Placement: Because a new principal has not yet been selected, I have decided to complete placement of incoming kindergarten children before the end of the school year. After the Lollipop Tests have been completed and we have had Kindergarten Orientation on May 20th, I will be working with the kindergarten teachers on placement. In the past, I have asked parents to write me a letter about your child, since I don't know them, to help me select just the right class for him/her. I then use your letters, with all the other information about the children, to determine placements in August. Because I have to move up the timeline to June, I am requesting you send me a letter, if you so desire, as soon as possible. Thanks in advance for your cooperation with this request.

Baldwin's Blast - Student Placements - Teacher Appreciation Week - Food Days Update - Movie Night Rescheduled

Mon, 11 Apr 2011 14:56:00 EST

April 12 – Fun Pizza Day April 14 – End of marking period for grad 4 & 5 April 14 - Gr. 5 – E/2 Foreign Language Meeting April 15 – Movie Night has been moved to May 20th April 18 – Passover begins April 22 – Good Friday – School closed April 25 – School Closed April 27 – BOE Budget and Vote – Polls open 7AM -9PM Tomorrow, April 12th is Fun Pizza Day. Because I will be retiring in July, I have changed the timing of student placement for next year. I would like to do most of the placement before I leave. As a result, in the beginning of April, the student placement process will begin for the next school year. I meet with each grade level and we formulate the class lists based on several criteria. We work to balance the number of boys and girls in each class, if possible. We also look at students’ academic abilities so the classes are heterogeneous. We discuss which teacher would match up best for your child. At times, we also separate students or placed students together. In the end, we hope to create a balanced and positive match of students and teacher. The Related Arts teachers are also involved in the process. They look at the tentative class lists and provide input based on their observations of the students in their classes. Sometimes parents will write me a note providing information about their children. The Warren Township BOE prohibits parents asking for a specific teacher. These requests cannot be fulfilled with the large number of families we have and the limited staff at each grade level. If you wish to write me a note, please do so no later than the week of April 11th. Once the lists are constructed, it is difficult to make changes. Please trust that we have put much thought and effort into formulating classes that benefit all children. The May/June Food Day run is now open on the food day system. Please go to: www.myfooddays.com. Your order must be completed and paid by April 15. As in the Warren Middle School and other Warren Elementary Schools, we are only accepting credit card purchases on the Food Day orders. If you must pay by check, please contact Kim Pearlstein dpearls@optonline.net or Jill Hanna Jill_Hanna@yahoo.com by e mail and let us know you will be submitting a check. The check must be received in the office no later than Friday, April 15.

The lower level including the all-purpose room and hallway had about an inch of water. In the third grade wing, there was overflow in the boys' bathroom that spread to the pump room, Mr. Rock's classroom, and the hallway. The maintenance department and Mr. Kuhlken did an amazing job vacuuming up all the water, mopping the floors. discarding ruined items, and sanitizing the entire area. The team of workers were able to clear the all-purpose room in time for the lunches. Mr. Rock and his students were relocated to an empty room in the school and adapted to the change of location. We did lose their reading backpacks and reader's notebooks, along with some library and personal pleasure reading books. We will be replacing the carpets, notebooks, and other items that were destroyed as quickly as possible. Food Days Update: PLEASE make sure your child or children are the correct grade and teacher on the Food Days system. We are running our distribution reports by grade and not by student, which it much easier for our Food Day volunteers to serve lunch to your children. However, if your child(ren) are not in their correct grade and teacher, they may not get the lunch you ordered for them. This has already happened. PLEASE do not let it happen to your child. Go to www.myfooddays.com and make sure your child is in the correct homeroom. If you need help, feel free to contact Kim Pearlstein or Jill Hanna.Your child will thank you!!!!

Water Main Break

Wed, 3 Nov 2010 10:04:00 EST

A water main break occurred on Mt. Bethel Rd. just past Central School. As a result, the water had to be turned off preventing us from having school today. Luckily, there was no damage to our beauifully renovated building. The repair work to the water main is on-going. If possible, avoid Mt. Bethel Rd. and use an alternate route. Dr. Crader, Superintendent of Schools, is developing a plan to make up the missed day of school. Enjoy the weekend, remember to turn back clocks Saturday night, and school will be back in session on Monday. Dr. Cebula

Central School is Closed Today, November 3, 2010

Baldwin's Blast - Welcome Back! - Annual Integrated Pest Management Notice - PTO Food Days - Note from Nurse

Fri, 3 Sep 2010 12:48:00 EST

Welcome back! Just a reminder that we will be sending out Baldwin's Blast on Monday and Thursday this year. If you miss one, you can always check on the Central Bulletin Board on the Warren Township website. Please check your child for evidence of head lice prior to starting school on September 7th. The first sign of head lice infestation is usually itching of the scalp, usually around the ear area and back of the head. Unlike dandruff, which easily can be flaked off or removed from the hair, the nit (egg) is teardrop shaped, yellowish or grey in color and is cemented to the hair. When you run your finger over the nit, it may feel like a grain of sand. The louse is a 2 mm. reddish-brown, six legged insect, that does not fly or jump. If you do discover head lice on your child, please contact your family physician for recommended treatment. If you have treated your child for a definite case of lice over the summer, please notify the school nurse prior to the first day of school. Thank you for your cooperation. Doris Zanchelli RN, CSN

Thanks to the Central School PTO!

There is no need for children to attend. This is also true of the sixth grade parent orientation. Students have their own orientation in September prior to opening day. Mary Lou Cebula The PTO has a wonderful opportunity to help the students of our school. Due to the cutbacks and failed budget, next year there will be no paraprofessionals in the library. This means that the librarian, Mrs. DeNunzio, can use our help so she can spend her time focusing on our kids. Next year's library volunteers are going to be asked to work a 9a.m. - 11a.m. shift. The day of the week will vary based on your availability. Each volunteer will be trained in checking books in and out, reshelving, placing books on hold, assisting during classes, learning how to find a book using the Destiny System, covering books, and formulating and printing overdue notices. If you are interested in continuing to help Central School be 'the best place to be' in these difficult times please email Lori Beck - binkbori@earthlink.net or Jill Pila - jillpila@optonline.net so we can begin to plan for next year. Thank you so much. Lori Beck and Jill Pila PTO Co-PresidentsScience Day, May 26th, is approaching quickly and throughout the day about 40 volunteers (parents and 8 contracted staff) are helping to make this day a fun and memorable one for the children. We are seeking volunteers to either make or donate food items for refreshments and lunch on that day. If you would like to contribute to that event please let Emmanuelle Iroudayassamy (irouusa@aol.com) know by Thursday May 20th what you will bring. Some suggestions are : salads, wraps, sandwiches, pasta dishes, fruits, desserts, drinks.We thank you for your help,The Science Day chairs Emmanuelle Iroudayassamy and Laura Herndon

Please have your students dress in black, white, and red in honor of the day. If they wear a ''Cat in the Hat'' HAT to school, they may wear it all day. BOOK SWAP!!!!!!! There will be a book swap all day long in the library for those who wish to participate. If there are any old books your children will no longer be reading, please send the books with them tomorrow morning. For each book your children bring to school they may swap it for one that they would like to read which was brought in by another student. There is a schedule when they will come to theibrary as a class to swap. They will receive a RED ticket, one for each book they bring to school. Lastly, this month l be visiting the Island of Tabuaeran (Fanning Island) in the South Pacific. Their school is lacking necessary materials to teach the students of the island. I am asking all grades to write a short friendly letter to a student there (pen pal). I will hand deliver these letters along with some supplies I will be bringing. They are excited about this exchange and should answer the letters the kids write. My last day is this Friday as I will be leaving for the cruise that will take me there on March 8th. If your child would like to write a letter, I know it will be appreciated there. Any questions, please email me at bliebiedz@warrentboe.org.

Kindergarten Registration Procedures

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 15:07:00 EST

Kindergarten registration for the 2010-2011 school year: The procedure for registering students for next year's kindergarten class has changed from past practices in Warren. This year, the paperwork for registering students should be picked up in the main office of our school. After completion of all documents, please return them to Central School by January 26th. If you wish, PTO parents will also be in our school on January 26th if you would like to stop in on that day to complete all the paperwork. Your child does not need to be present for this part of the process. On April 27th, all registered kindergarten children will come to Central School to take a pre-school screening. It is called the Lollipop Test and measures your child's knowledge of some basic skills like letter and number identification. There is no need to worry or study for this. The instrument merely gives the kindergarten teachers a chance to meet your child and interact with them for a few minutes. You will be called prior to April 27th to set up the time. On May 19th, all students and parents are invited to a Kindergarten Orientation Program. We will send you more information on this closer to the day of the event. If you have any questions about the process or procedures for kindergarten registration, please call the Central School main office at 908-753-5300, Ext. 5200. Dr. Cebula

National Clean Hands Week

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 08:32:00 EST

September 21-25 is National Clean Hands Week. The following activities will be held at Central School to ''spread the word, not the germs''. Monday-Sept 21 Let us kick off the week by wearing blue shirts . The blue shirt is to remind your child that water (blue) and soap are the most important part to keeping hands clean. Hand sanitizers are great but only if you can't get to soap and water. Wednesday- Sept 23 Do you have a budding artist in your home? Please consider having them create a small, 8 1/2 x 11 sign, to remind others to wash their hands. These will be displayed in the school as a constant reminder that hand washing is the easiest and effective way to stay healthy. Friday -Sept 25 Let's be a team! Wear your favorite Team T-shirt. This represents all of us working together as a team to keep germs away. Please stay home when you are sick. Cough or sneeze into tissues.
