Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mr. Swanson will need to take a leave of absence beginning Monday, April 18, 2022. His return date is undetermined at this time; however, we are so fortunate to have Ms. Buckler taking on the role of School Counselor in Mr. Swanson's absence. Ms. Buckler is a certified School Counselor and she just completed a leave for the Kennedy School Counselor, so she has a full awareness of all things Roxbury!

In an effort to ensure a smooth transition, Mr. Swanson and Ms. Buckler met today. Mrs. Mann, our Director of Guidance, also joined them and she is also ready and willing to lend a helping hand in Mr. Swanson's absence.

Ms. Buckler will be taking on Mr. Swanson's case load reflective of school counseling sessions outlined in IEPS and 504's, as well as cases that have parental consent. She will also facilitate Kindergarten SEL, Bucket Filler Recognitions, Rising Servant Leaders and be a point of contact for all students and staff on an as needed basis.

Ms. Buckler will begin her work at Nixon School on Monday, April 18, 2022. At that time, you are welcome to reach out to her at jbuckler@roxbury.org.

Thank you to our PTA for hosting the Scholastic Book Fair and to all of the volunteers who made the week run smoothly.

For any student that may have been disappointed to find that a Wish List Book was sold out, families are welcome to use this link to purchase the book online.

Thank you again to everyone. Happy Reading.

Roxbury Township Public Schools, a K-12 school district preparing the children of today for tomorrow, has set its in-person Kindergarten registration dates for the 2022/2023 school year.

Roxbury Township Public Schools offers a full-day kindergarten program designed to develop knowledge and skills in the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive areas. Our goal is to help children develop skills and strategies that will help them learn and establish a foundation for lifelong success in education. The program allows more time for students to address curriculum in depth and allows teachers to provide additional activities in learning.

To register for Kindergarten, parents will need to complete the online pre-registration process and begin uploading the required documents for Kindergarten. For a complete list of what to do and what to bring, visit www.roxbury.org/KindergartenRegistration.

Online registration for Kindergarten is now open. Parents are required to register their child at their home school. If the home school is unknown, please contact the Transportation Department at 973-584-6756 and based on your address, they can let you know what school your child should be attending.

If you need or prefer an in-person appointment, please contact your child’s school to schedule an appointment.
