As a friendly reminder, we ask for your continued partnership in reinforcing our school expectations regarding cell phones and other electronic communication devices, including smartwatches.
During the school day, all cell phones and electronic communication devices must be powered off and kept away in lockers or bags. These devices should not be visible or used during instructional time, transitions, or lunch.
Earlier this year, your child took the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT). This test consists of three batteries: verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal. The results for your child are reported in a Profile Narrative in the Genesis Parent Portal under Documents.

As we move into the second half of the school year, more detailed information regarding the transition to high school and upcoming 8th-grade events will be shared in the coming weeks.
One important item to address at this time is your child’s diploma
We are excited to invite you to another parent information session sponsored by the Watchung Borough Schools, titled “Young Adolescent Behaviors,” with a specific focus on the middle school years.
