Kindergarteners are all smiles as they enjoy the beautiful, fall weather!🍂🍁🍃
The Exploratory team teachers at Smith School are working collaboratively this year to develop new strategies to amplifying how they teach Ramsey PoG skills to students.
Exploratory teachers often get to see students in a different way than in other academic classes, which gives them a chance to teach PoG skills from a different perspective. Often, they are best positioned to teach skills such as Empathy, Adaptability, and Responsibility, just to name a few!
First grade is beginning their unit on 2-D geometry. Today, students identified attributes and used creativity to compose images with their shapes.
6th grade has started their unit on ratios, rational numbers, and equivalence. Today students used models to explain their thinking to their peers.
Students in Profile Project Seminar are well underway developing their projects! Today they worked on their SMART goals to support their individual objectives.
This week the Drama Workshop class at RHS presented its first production in three years.
The resurgence of this class is a sign of new interest and energy in our district theater program. Drama Workshop productions are COMPLETELY student run, giving students the chance to apply a wide range of theater skills and PoG competencies.
One night only! Tomorrow, October 18, Smith Middle School Drama Club will present ROMEO TO GO - beginning at 7pm.
The 45-minute long play is about students who must perform an entire Shakespeare play for a schoolwide assembly during a time slot of only 10 minutes.
Tickets are available at the door - $5 each.
The RHS Design Thinking class is launching another partnership for the fall semester. This year our partner is the NJ Hall of Fame!
The Design Thinking class helps students to develop creativity and problem solving skills while tackling an authentic problem in a professional partnership.

NJSIAA Fall Officials Appreciation Week began this past Monday. The week-long observance aims to highlight the dedication, skill, and impartiality of referees, umpires, and other game officials who ensure fair play and maintain the integrity of sports at all levels.
The big picture: The Ramsey Board of Education recently adopted a Spectator Code of Conduct policy, which outlines the expectations of spectators at all interscholastic athletic events. We appreciate the outstanding work officials do throughout all athletic seasons.
Students in Mrs. Broderick and Mrs. Donohue's 7th Grade Science Class at Smith School completed the Burning Magnesium Lab today. They collected evidence to decide if burning is a chemical reaction. Through their data collection they considered specific qualities of magnesium before and after burning, learned the chemical equation for burning magnesium, and drew the ball and stick model of the chemical reaction. Future scientists at work!

👏 Big impact: Think of all the hours they’ve put in, often when no one is around to see — prepping for events, cleaning classrooms, waxing floors, sanitizing every surface, and making sure everything is in working order. They create an environment where students and teachers can thrive.
💬 A few words of appreciation can go a long way! Today is the perfect time to say thank you to custodians who work tirelessly to keep our schools ready for learning.
