At Triangle School, gratitude comes early! Triangle was honored to host a special ceremony this morning to pay tribute to the courageous veterans in our community. It was a beautiful opportunity for our students to learn about service and express their deepest thanks.
Triangle was thrilled to be the first school to kick off our district's annual Veterans Recognition efforts! This early event sets the tone for appreciation and remembrance that will continue across our schools leading up to Veterans Day.
Thank you, veterans, for your dedication and sacrifice. You are our heroes.

TOMORROW, Wednesday, November 5th, we are anticipating bus delays throughout the day due to a driver shortage. We appreciate your patience as we work hard to have all routes covered.
Power has been restored at Auten Road Intermediate School. The school is having its regular day.
There is currently a power outage in parts of town and this has affected Auten Road Intermediate School. Students are remaining in their current classrooms so they do not need to traverse dark hallways. Additional personnel are available to escort students with flashlights as needed. PSE&G reports that power should be restored around 12:30 pm. This is an ongoing and developing situation and we will try to keep you updated.
🎉 Principal's Panel Power! 💡 Today, second graders at Triangle School showed us that kids' voices matter!
Superintendent Volpe joined Principal Aliperti as he recognized students for their outstanding character. But it didn't stop there! These student leaders formed a "Principal's Panel" to give direct input on future spirit days, lunch options, and other key school matters.
A HUGE thank you to these amazing students for their insight!

Happy Constitution Day! 📜 Today, we celebrate the signing of the U.S. Constitution, a document that lays the foundation for our government and protects our fundamental rights. While the Constitution safeguards all of us, its principles are especially crucial for the most vulnerable members of society. For example, the First Amendment protects the rights of protesters and activists to speak out against injustice, ensuring that even unpopular voices are heard. The Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause ensures that all citizens, including people with disabilities and religious minorities, are treated equally under the law, preventing discriminatory practices. The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to legal counsel, a crucial lifeline for individuals who couldn't otherwise afford to defend themselves in court. These are just a few examples of how the Constitution acts as a shield for those who need it most. This is a part of the genius of the Constitution. Let's remember this as we continue to strive for a more perfect union. #ConstitutionDay #LibertyandJusticeforAll
