Dear Travell Parents/Guardians:
Summer is almost here! Medications for students may not be stored at school over the summer. If your child has a medication in the health office, kindly pick it up at the end of the day on the last day of school June 22th at 12:45pm or on the following day, June 23rd.
Any medication not picked up for the summer will be discarded, including Epi-pens, inhalers or “as needed” medications.
If you are unable to pick up your child’s medication during those times, please contact me prior to 6/22 to set up an appointment to do so.
Have a wonderful, safe and healthy summer and I look forward to seeing you again in the fall!

Dear Travell Families,
We’re very excited to announce that the Travell HSA is once again supporting the One School, One Book initiative. This year’s book is Alvin Ho: Allergic to Girls, School and Other Scary Things by Lenore Look. Here is the Scholastic link to the book: Alvin Ho Scholastic
The program will begin on Monday, January 24, with distribution of books to the youngest child in each family and a special video shown in homerooms. On our One School, One Book website, we will have chapter discussion questions and fun activities. If you send photos of your family to Ms. DeNunzio or your classroom teacher, we’ll post those on the website, too! Finally, our website is the place you’ll be able to access chapter readings by special guests! As a school, we will read chapters each week, with a culminating activity in each grade on Friday, February 18.
A special thank you goes to our HSA and to our school media specialist, Ms. Mary DeNunzio, for putting together this amazing experience
Let’s get reading, Travell!
Please be reminded that tomorrow (Thursday, December 23) is a minimum day. Students will be dismissed at 12:45 p.m. No lunches will be served, but students should bring a snack.
Please also remember that any child exhibiting symptoms of illness should be kept home. We want everyone to be able to enjoy a safe, healthy holiday season!
Best,
Brian Ross

Dear Travell Families,
Preliminary International Expo planning is underway (participants should sign up at link below); however, we do not currently have enough volunteers to lead and coordinate the event.
If you are interested in serving on the Expo Committee - or even learning a bit more about the role - please be in touch with Christina Morbelli: ChristinaMorbelli@hotmail.com
If we are unable to fill the Expo Planning Committee, unfortunately, this cornerstone event will not be able to take place. We know how beloved this event is within our community and are grateful for volunteers' willingness to assist with the coordination and execution.
Thank you,

Hello, Travell Families,
Here are a few important updates:
Outdoor Lunch
--With temperatures frequently in the 40-degree range, tomorrow (Thursday, November 18) will
be the final day of the outdoor lunch pilot. Beginning Friday, all students will eat in the Tiger’s
Den.
Parking Reminders (Full Guidelines Below)
--Please do not park on the school side of Bogert Ave. from 8:00-9:00 on school days. Follow the
signs for student drop-off.
--Only district personnel and those drivers with official handicapped credentials should use the
Bogert cutout before, during, or after school.
Spirit Fridays
--Remember to wear your Travell or Ridgewood gear or colors every Friday!
Have a great day!
Sincerely,
Brian Ross
TRAVELL SAFETY: DROP-OFF & PARKING
DROP-OFF
Please have your child seated on the curb side of the car, drop them off and continue towards
Meadowbrook. Teachers are posted at the door to make sure that every child that is dropped off
enters the building.
There are two drop-off areas: One on Bogert Avenue and one on Fairfield Avenue
On Bogert Avenue - drop-off is in front of the school, after the island. Do not drop off at the
island and do not block the driveway on either side of the island, as it must be accessible to
school vans. During school hours, Bogert is one-way.
On Fairfield - drop-off is at the cut-out on the school side leading to the playground/ball field
area. Fairfield is two-way at all times and parking is illegal on both sides of Fairfield north of
Downs. Refer to the student drop-off may on the next page.
PARKING
If you plan to park your car to escort your child into school, you must leave the drop-off area and
park beyond the school. Parked cars impede the flow of traffic and endanger the children.
Handicapped parking is available on both sides of the school for those with official credentials.

Snack & Lunch Nut Policy Reminder
Snack:
Classrooms are peanut and tree nut free. Please send in a healthy snack that does not contain these food items.
Using a dedicated "snack bag" is a great way to make sure your child knows which food is meant for snack time.
Lunch:
Any foods may be brought in to be eaten for lunch, including tree nut and peanut products.
Your child may be asked to move so he or she is not sitting directly next to a student with a food allergy.
