Princeton High School Program of Studies premiere event Wednesday January 13th at 7pm.

“We call them ‘social justice warriors’,” says Princeton High School Principal Jessica Baxter of the students who have taken the school’s racial literacy course, an elective taught by Joy Barnes-Johnson and Patricia Manhart. “Nobody leaves the course as they enter it. They want to do more.”

For junior Faria Majeed, doing more meant working with fellow students to found a social justice club called C.A.R.E., for Cultural and Racial Equity. CARE gives students opportunities to discuss and advance perspectives gleaned from the class and from students’ own research. “Our goal is to educate within the PHS community,” Faria says. “Being racially literate is an essential skill that is so important for, not only present day America, but future America.”

District music supervisor Patrick Lenihan has done the research on Covid mitigation strategies that optimize musical performance. The masks the singers wear feature a bit more space around the mouth to accommodate breathing and articulation.

On Wednesday, Dr. Galasso addressed all PPS families with updated plans for expanded instruction and an overview of plans across the district.

The Yearbook is now on sale for online purchase.

Dear Princeton Unified Middle School Families:

Monday will be an all remote day for all PPS schools due to weather conditions. Please remember to do the Daily Health Screening form. 

AT PUMS... We will be keeping our HYBRID schedule tomorrow, so that we can observe our learning and maintain previously scheduled meetings etc.  We will have our four scheduled blocks, and our day will conclude at 1PM, same as if we were attending in person.    

Please stay safe in today's weather, and stay tuned to any further updates.  

Dear Community Park Parents,

We are planning another Spirit Week for the week of Monday December 14th. Below are the daily challenges/themes.

Dear CP Families,

The first day of school is such a magical day. That magic comes from our hearts and our anticipation of something new. It is a combination of yearning for the unknown and fearing the unknown.

Community Park recently held its first Virtual Field Day and P.E. teacher Mr. Chorba praised all the CP students and parents who made it a success.

Here is a message from Mr. Chorba: "WOW! We had an amazing the number of participants for our virtual Field Day. I received over 100 pictures and videos.  Your enthusiasm and effort was outstanding. Thank you for making it a success.  Every grade was represented for pictures and videos.  The grade that had most videos and pictures (and the most bonus points) was Kindergarten!"

CP teachers were happy to have a week off to re-group before jumping back into remote learning. What did the staff do over spring break? For one thing, they made this video for their students. Check it out here.

Community Park, Johnson Park, Littlebrook and Riverside PTOs  have created a new discount card program, called Princeton Perks, to help close their fundraising gaps and bolster shopping and dining around town. The Princeton Perks card costs $25 and gives cardholders special deals from more than 40 local restaurants and retailers through December 31, 2021. 

We will be reverting to our Hybrid/Remote schedule next week. The schedule will be as follows - 

Monday - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day - No School

Tuesday and Wednesday - Cohort A will be in school. Cohorts B and C will be on remote learning.

     We will follow Monday's schedule on Tuesday.

     We will follow Tuesday's schedule on Wednesday.

We hope everyone had a fantastic Winter Break. All students are remote from January 4 through January 11. Hybrid learning will resume on Tuesday, January 12. Here is the schedule for the next two weeks.

As a follow up to the email you have received from Dr. Galasso, our Interim Superintendent of Schools, please note the following from our District Administrators - 

• All schools will operate on a remote schedule on Wed., Nov. 25^th, the day before our Thanksgiving recess.
• All schools will operate on a remote schedule on Mon., Dec. 7^th, to accommodate our afternoon professional-development program for staff members.  This remote-only day will serve as the only day for remote instruction that week (Mon.-Fri., Dec. 7^th-11^th).
• Our elementary schools will move their Mon., Dec. 7^th, hybrid schedule to Wed., Dec. 9^th (which otherwise would have been their all-remote day).

As the weather turns colder, we though you might enjoy this October video from the Littlebrook School Gardens. Under the guidance of School Gardener Nancy Nicosia, each bed is a themed continent and has plants that are anti to that continent. Part One of this video includes European plants, South American plants (tomatoes) and a hint of what’s in the Asian garden (which includes loofa, a gourd). Littlebrook has donated over 200 pounds to producer to local food pantries.
