On Thursday, we conducted our first Fire Drill of the School Year. Students and staff are commended for an outstanding response to the drill.

Every month we will conduct a Fire Drill and a School Security Drill. Both drills are NJDOE requirements and are aimed at ensuring that schools practice procedures for responding to emergencies.

Thank you to the students and staff who have been nuturing our Garden Tower. Our first harvest was picked this week and gifted to Ms. June, our Lead Cook at NES. Special thanks to Mrs. Arms who has taken the leadership role in this initiative!

Since the Roxbury Community School BASES (Before and After School Program) operates at Nixon School until 6 PM, Monday - Friday. Families are asked to refrain from using the school based playgrounds until after 6 PM. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

A typical routine for many families is to check their child's Home to School Communication Folder (navy with a Husky on the cover and provided generously by our PTA) on a DAILY BASIS.

Another routine that I would encourage all families to consider is going through your child's backpack itself on at least a weekly basis. In addition to crumbled papers, food that has fallen to the bottom of the bag, or maybe even a few leaves for a leaf collection, this is an opportunity to ensure that other unwanted items haven't made their way into your child's backpack (ie. AirTags, electronics, toys, etc).

If for any reason, you were having difficulty completing the electronic Free or Reduced Lunch Application, a hard copy of the application is linked here. If you opt to complete this hard copy, kindly submit the application directly to the Board of Education Office on Hillside Avenue in Succasunna.

Please also note that if your family qualifies for free or reduced lunch, snacks (ie. cookies, chips, ice cream) are not free. There is a charge for these supplemental items.

The preschool program at Nixon School is a part of the Roxbury Public Schools continuum of Special Services programs designed to meet needs identified through Project Child Find.

Project Child Find is a free referral service to assist in the identification of unserved/underserved youth ages 3 to 21 years old who may struggle due to physical, sensory, emotional, communication, cognitive or social difficulties. For children 3 to 21 years of age, our school district provides a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) for eligible students. Parents and guardians who have questions about the eligibility of their child are encouraged to contact the Office of Special Services at 973-584-4232

The Paper Store (Succasunna) is scheduled to open on Saturday, September 3, 2022 and will have its Grand Opening on Saturday, October 15th and Sunday, October 16th.

As part of The Paper Store's effort to give back to the community, 10% of sales from the Grand Opening on Saturday, October 15 and Sunday, October 16 will be donated to Roxbury Public Schools. Teachers and Students who show a valid school ID can also receive 15% off their entire purchase during the Grand Opening weekend.
