Student Growth Objectives & Assessments
- The movie below, "The True Meaning Behind Student Growth Objectives and Assessments" was produced by Mr. Frank Perrone of Roosevelt School. Two teachers, Mr. Nevin Werner of Roosevelt School, and Ms. AnneMarie Spiegel of Cherry Hill School explain the process. Ms. Spiegel notes that, "We do all types of assessments to inform our instruction. These assessments help us to help our students. Please enjoy this video about why we do assessments."
ART SHOW
River Edge Cultural Center
River Edge elementary school students displayed their artwork during a reception for the eighth annual Art exhibit at the River Edge Cultural Center, which opened on January 29th. Students from Cherry Hill, Roosevelt and New Bridge Center schools were featured in the exhibit. The artwork was on display until February 15th. A variety of mediums were used, including, drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, sculpture, and mixed media. The pictures below were taken at the Cultural Center. Below the pictures is a movie of the event created by Mr. Frank Perrone and Ms. Michelle Attardi of Roosevelt School.
New Bridge Center
Parent Night Out!
The students of Building Bridges and Building Connections participated in a game night full of fun. Administrators, teachers, support staff, specialists and ABA instructional assistants volunteered their evening to foster an enjoyable night for both students and parents. Parents dropped off their child off at New Bridge Center and enjoyed a night out, while the students played anything from knock hockey, to tic tac toe, to Wii sports and Twister. The night concluded with a close game of musical chairs and an energetic dance party.
A grateful parent wrote the following to all the administrators, teachers and staff that volunteered their time to make this night happen.
"I wanted to thank you and all the teachers who volunteered last night! It was much appreciated. Especially, knowing that you took time away from your families to give us parents a break... I cannot say thank you enough. Once again it proves that our kids are in a very special school/place! Please share with everyone who helped last evening".
One student shared “I felt so happy. I liked to play with the games because the games are fun. I liked playing with my friends and teachers. My favorite part was dancing to the song “Happy.”
Rosemary Kuruc, our Supervisor of Special Services said, “The students were so actively engaged and had spontaneous play. Adult interaction was minimal. It was wonderful to sit back and watch the children enjoy themselves.
The night was a success and the staff of Building Bridges and Building Connections have two more parent nights out planned for the rest of the year. Everyone is looking forward to it!
Below are some pictures of the students enjoying the evening!
