Dear Linden Families,
Tomorrow, we return from Spring break to a full day of school. Our teachers’ and staff’s commitment and hard work are highly valued and recognized. I am confident that they, along with you and your children, have been rejuvenated and are prepared to tackle the rest of the academic year energized and with a strong drive for success. Together, let us embrace the upcoming challenges with enthusiasm and dedication. We have an exciting week ahead of us.
The Solar Eclipse will take place on Monday, April 8th.
Schools are closed on Wednesday, April 10th, for Eid Al Fitr.
Reminders for the Solar Eclipse:
The Solar Eclipse is scheduled to begin around 2:09 pm, with maximum coverage at 3:24 pm. It is scheduled to end around 4:35 pm. According to science.nasa.gov, homemade or ordinary sunglasses are insufficient ways to view a solar eclipse, as the reflectivity and polarization are not high enough for safe viewing. For additional information on safety viewing during an eclipse, visit https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/safety/.
Take care, and again, welcome back from Spring break.
Atiya Y. Perkins
Superintendent of Schools

This week for Bus Driver Appreciation Day 🚌 🎉 students at School No. 8 presented drivers Jennifer, Joachim, and Lilah with cards, candy, and balloons to show their appreciation for the love and kindness they show their passengers each day. Staff appreciates the communication and safety that they can depend on. From early mornings to late afternoons, rain or shine, they ensure our students arrive safely to and from school every single day.✨ 🚌
Our Math and Multilingual Learners departments teamed up to present the First Multilingual Math Night Extravaganza on Tuesday at School No.6. There was food, games, prizes, and math activities! Our multilingual learners are students who speak another language at home and are learning to speak English at the same time as they are leaning content at school. Some of their parents who speak another language may feel hesitant to ask questions, which can reduce parental involvment, a crucial part of the school-home partnership. Linden Public Schools is committed to supporting family engagement, and this event brought the whole family into the learning experience in a fun, engaging manner. The Math Night didn`t just add up, it multiplied the fun factor! #LindenStrong #LindenFamily

Congratulations to Merrick Hyman, 2nd grader at School No. 8, for winning a Super Grand Prize in the Pomptonian 5th Annual Healthy School Lunch Challenge! Merrick was selected out of hundreds of entries from students across New Jersey.

We are so proud of you, Chef Merrick!
