Today, all Bogert students were wowed by “Magic Jim,” who entertained and inspired us while teaching important lessons about good character. What a fun and meaningful way to kick off the new school year! ✨🎩
Welcome Back Bogert Bobcats!
Dear Bogert Parents,
Due to the wet conditions on the ground, we will be unable to use the field for parking. Once the main lots are full, personnel will direct parents to park behind Bogert. As a result, all students grades 3-5 will line up in the hallway outside of their classrooms.
Kind regards,
Ms. Jennifer Turi
Principal
Dear Bogert Families,
We are so excited to welcome our students back tomorrow for the first day of school!
A few quick reminders:
Tomorrow is a minimum day with a 12:20 p.m. dismissal.
The first bell rings at 7:55 a.m., and instruction begins at 8:05 a.m. No student should be dropped off prior to 7:30am, the time at which supervision begins.
Please be sure your child knows their dismissal plan.
Parents may park on the field during morning drop-off tomorrow, weather permitting.
Families are welcome to take photos outside the school before saying goodbye. Please note that parents and guardians will not be permitted to enter the building.
Friday, September 4 is a full day of school. All students should bring lunch on Friday. The PTO lunch program begins Tuesday, September 8.
Food deliveries from outside vendors are strictly prohibited and will not be accepted.
Traffic may be heavier during the first few days as families become familiar with new routines.
Please be patient with one another and follow the directions of staff members who are there to assist with arrival, dismissal, and traffic flow.
We are looking forward to a wonderful first day and an exciting start to our first year together at Bogert School! See you tomorrow!
Kind regards,
Ms. Jennifer Turi
The phone can wait - learning can't.
Congratulations to the Bobcats of the month for May!
The second graders performed their play “Los Tres Osos” for our third graders. Following the play the third graders buddy read with the younger students to share the community books they wrote and illustrated this year. The students all did a great job and it was a wonderful display of how much they have accomplished this year in español!
5th graders created tea cups in their art class this year. They learned about the history of tea and the significance of afternoon tea in England. Students then had an afternoon tea party where they were able to drink tea out of the tea cups they made in class!
This morning, Upper Saddle River students participated in the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics.
Last week, Bogert students participated in Field Day, enjoying a variety of exciting activities while demonstrating excellent sportsmanship. It was a fantastic day that everyone enjoyed! Thank you to Ms. Liggio and Mr. Biondi for putting on such a wonderful event, and thank you to the PTO for providing the ice pops for all students!
Last month, Bogert celebrated Earth Day during Discovery Day by exploring different ways to recycle and help keep our planet clean. Students also participated in a recycled creation contest, where they designed and built projects using only recycled materials. Congratulations to the students who were recognized for Most Creative, Best Use of Recycled Materials, and Kids’ Choice! It was a fun and inspiring day for everyone involved!
Congratulations to April's Bobcats of the month! Great work, Bobcats!
Last week, Bogert & Reynolds Schools hosted a very successful art show featuring artwork from students in Kindergarten through 5th grade. It was wonderful to see students, along with their friends and families, enjoying an afternoon together while celebrating such beautiful artwork.
Bogert students put on a fantastic performance of Suessical Jr. recently. They were all so talented and should be very proud of the work that they put into the show! Congratulations to the cast and everyone involved in helping put the show together!
