The Nixon School Staff and PTA would like to host the Roxbury High School Seniors who attended Nixon Elementary School at a special event on June 15, from 10:00 - 11:30 AM to take pictures in the Hallway of Hands. This is a unique opportunity for our graduating seniors to look back on their time in Roxbury; while taking pictures where it all began! If you know of a graduating senior, please share this information and respective Google Form link with them, so we can gauge the number of attendees. Thank you!

From the NJ Department of Human Services, Division of Family Development:

Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) is a program to help you purchase food for your child(ren) who are eligible for free or reduced price school meals. To receive P-EBT benefits for summer 2023, click here for more information.

Arrival Procedures: For both Kindergarten and Fourth Grade, please be sure to respond to the respective RSVPs which were shared by school staff. Responses to these RSVPs will be used to check visitors into the school and to keep track of who is in attendance at the events. Please also note that for both of these events, entrance to the school will be via the double doors on the side of the building by the GYMNASIUM.

As our fourth graders' time at Nixon School comes to an end, we want to be sure to give them a proper send off. As a result, on Wednesday, June 14, 2023 at 1:20 PM, we will host a Fourth Grade Clap Out. Following is information that will help the day to run smoothly. Any updates to this information will be emailed prior to June 14th.

Guests are encouraged to carpool, as parking will be challenging. No one will be permitted to park in the driveway of Nixon School, as this is where guests will gather to clap out our fourth graders. Please stand in the driveway, as the fourth graders will use the sidewalk. K-3 students will be located on the other sides of the building.

After our fourth graders are clapped out, the staff will have the fourth graders gather on the side of the building. There will be a series of cones set up... families should not go beyond these cones. Rather one member of the family can come to the cones and stand in a line by the respective teacher's name. The teachers will pair their individual students with the family members and keep record of these pairings.

All families are asked to please clear the front/side of the building no later than 1:35 so that we can prepare for dismissal.

If you have a younger child at Nixon School who you want to stand with you for clap out, you must come to the security vestibule between 1 and 1:20 to sign your younger child out. By signing your younger child out, please know that your child will not be able to re-enter the building after clap out, as we will be preparing for school wide dismissal.

Thank you in advance for helping to make clap out memorable for our fourth graders and for helping to ensure a smooth dismissal for our student body.
