Superintendent Communications on COVID-19 - Apr 7
Dear Roxbury Community, 

Welcome to week 4! At last evening's Board of Education meeting, the Board of Education members unanimously passed the resolution to modify the school calendar. Therefore, rather than a long spring break, we will have a shorter one with this Friday, April 10th and Monday, April 13th off. I hope you are able to enjoy those days and the modified weeks that follow. 

There are a few items to clarify in regards to the calendar modification. First, voters were comprised of parents, students, teachers and community members. Secondly, over 80% voted for the modified calendar. Thirdly, the purpose of the modification is to support the schedules that parents have established for their children as well as create an opportunity to catch up on work and take a break from being online. IF we are able to return to school, we will not be able to conduct business as usual. There will need to be a transition time for the continued health of all. A calendar that includes 4-day weeks will serve to support a transition to "on-site" school days IF it becomes a possibility.

A philosophy that the administration and I share is that we must be prepared for all possibilities. And we have done just that. By announcing our school closing on the morning of Friday, March 13th, our teachers were able to prepare our students. By planning at the onset of the virus, our Flexible Instruction Day plan has been a model for others to follow. By being a one-to-one district with professional development in place for six years, we moved to an online system of education without much ado. By being leaders who truly care about our students, we have worked to provide resources for students, staff, and families. We will continue to serve and lead with the welfare of our children always at the forefront.

This week's theme is creativity. Roxbury will have 4-day weeks, and we should use the long weekend for new hobbies, outdoor fun, and virtual travel. Last week I shared the Roxbury Scavenger Hunt, this week I offer you a list compiled by our administrative team as well as others. Click HERE for some creative ideas. 
 
Parents, we've heard from our teachers and our students. Now it is your turn. Please click HERE to take a brief survey. Thank you for sharing your perspectives! Last week's survey has helped us continue to enhance our online delivery of education. As a result, all teachers are asked to provide one weekly "live" session and invite student participation. According to the survey, many of our teachers are already embracing "live" sessions which demonstrates their level of commitment and compassion to our students.

We've been ahead of every curve and our success is to the combined efforts of our staff, students, families, administration, and Board of Education. We are #RoxburyProud and #RoxburyStrong!

Wishing you health and contentment during these uncertain times.

Sincerely, 

Loretta L. Radulic Superintendent of Schools

Revised School Calendar for the Remainder of the School Year
Below is the revised school calendar for the remainder of the 2019/2020 school year that was board approved on April 6th. Just a reminder, there is no Flexible Instruction Days tomorrow, Friday, April 10th and Monday, April 13th for the revised spring break.

"Meals on Wheels" Continues to Roll in Roxbury
The continued COVID-19 school closures in Roxbury Township hasn't stopped some of our essential employees from making sure our students are safe and fed. 

As we close out week 4 of Flexible Instruction, our Buildings & Grounds staff, our Transportation Crew, and Maschio's Food Services continues to provide "Meals on Wheels" to deliver  breakfast and lunch to district families on free and reduced lunch. 

This past Monday the deliveries expanded. Meals are now being delivered to the students of Mt. Arlington Public Schools on free and reduced lunch. 

More than 400 meals continue to be served daily to our students.  We can't thank our staff enough for their continued hard work and dedication in making sure our students are taken care of! #RoxStrong #EssentialEmployees

Nixon's Early Act Sends Messages of Connection to Merry Heart
Our Nixon community and Early Act Club are going strong during these closures. They are making cards, letters, and posters for patients at Merry Heart Nursing Home who can't have visitors. 

Nixon's Early Act Club Advisor Kerry Hamberger explained, "We had to come up with something we could do. The club came up with the idea to write letters to the Merry Heart Nursing Home since they can't have visitors." 

Students and families are making these items to send to Merry Heart.  Help them contribute messages of hope and connection with Merry Heart patients! Mail them to Irma, the Activity Director at Merry Heart Nursing Home at 200 Route 10 West in Succasunna, NJ 07876. Click here to view more of these messages and pictures on our district's Facebook page.  #NixonHuskies #RoxStrong #ApartButNotAlone 

Roxbury Schools Donates to Roxbury First Responders
With schools being closed, the Roxbury district was still able to contribute to the safety of its first responders with a donation of personal protective equipment (PPE) to  Roxbury Emergency Management. Robert Hackett, the Emergency Management Coordinator came for the equipment and supplies which will go to first responders in Roxbury Township: Police, Fire, and First Aid through Emergency Management.
 
Donated supplies included 40 gowns, 350 pairs of gloves, 75 masks with face shields, 50 N95 masks, 100 booties, and 1 bottle of disinfectant tablets which makes 25 gallons of cleaning solution.
 
Also, on loan to the Roxbury Police Department is an electrostatic sprayer to disinfect rooms and vehicles.  #InThisTogether #FirstResponders #RoxburyFightingCOVID19 #onemaskatatime 

 
Erica Iuvone, the Early Act Advisor expanded Tuesday morning on what the Jefferson community could do to help. "There are a few things Early Act is doing, so we wanted to open it up to all of Jefferson. The first thing that we have is a donation for the front liners. We're collecting high energy protein bars for medical professionals. Bars like granola bars, Cliff bars, KIND bars, Belvita, Nature's Valley, etc. We're having the donations on Friday, April 10th between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to drop off in front of Jefferson Elementary. I'll be there to greet you from my car, so it'll be great to see your smiling faces as you drop off a donation for the front liners."
 
Ms. Iuvone and Principal Cosgrove also encouraged students and families to work together and be creative to make handmade cards, posters, and letters for the nurses and doctors. Click here to read more about how you can donate tomorrow from our website under "In the News".

An Impromptu 'Drive for Hope' Visits Roxbury and Mt. Arlington
About 10 area residents took a break from COVID-19 cabin fever on Sunday by hopping in their cars and slowly driving together through Mount Arlington and Roxbury in what they unofficially called a "Drive for Hope."

Horns were honked. Loud music was played through open windows. Some cheer was delivered to neighborhoods that seemed to need it, said Jimmy Pelusio, one of the organizers.  "We just wanted to do something positive for the community," he said.

The friends met at Mount Arlington Public School at about 2 p.m. and embarked on a leisurely tour that lasted past 5 p.m., Pelusio said. Based on the reactions from people along the way, the Drive for Hope was worthwhile, he said. Click here to read more from TAPinto Roxbury.

It's the Roxbury Area Chamber of Commerce's biggest annual fundraiser, and it's just right around the proverbial corner.  When the chamber met on Wednesday, Feb. 19, at Outback in Ledgewood, chamber Past President Linda Dora said this year's installment of "A Taste of Roxbury" is coming up.
