News & Announcements

Third graders celebrated the culmination of reading Charlotte’s Web on Zuckerman’s Barn Day! The students dressed as farmers and watched the animated classic movie together.

NJ STEM Month was STEM-tastic for the fifth grade students from Clarendon School. Mayor Gonnelli donated 3,000 dollars for a Lego Environmental Challenge. Students were introduced to the Design Process and created blueprint designs and prototypes. Architect Drew, Director of Environmental Services Amanda Nesheiwat, Secaucus Spectator Don Evanson, and the town and school administration all supported the children throughout the challenge. We will be culminating in a Shark Tank Style competition March 29th.

4th students placed mirrors at different angles to shine a light onto target to gain points.

Continuing their focus on STEM this month, Mrs. Lamatina’s class completed a second challenge where they had to create an invention that could separate marshmallows and jelly beans quickly, efficiently, and without touching the candy. Students planned, selected materials, and worked in teams to build their creations.

Clarendon School will be hosting a Parent Information Session on Digital Citizenship. It will take place on Tuesday, March 26th at 6:30 P.M. in the Clarendon Gymnasium for the parents of 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students. Our goal is to help establish a positive digital footprint and provide resources to help you guide your children through the obstacles presented by today's technology. This event is for PARENTS ONLY. Parents from both elementary schools are invited.

The first grade students made Irish soda bread in celebration of St. Patricks’s Day! They learned how to follow a recipe by reading the ingredients and directions. Next, they measured each ingredient and worked together to mix it. When the students returned to class, they wrote and illustrated how to make Irish soda bread. Finally, the students enjoyed their delicious breads at snack time.
