Vision Screening

Good afternoon Cozy Lake Families, 

The Lion's Club will be here at Cozy Lake on Friday, October 14th to offer a vision screening for all students.  The screening takes less than a minute.  The screeners merely take a picture of the student's eyes with a tool that picks up vision discrepancies that otherwise could be missed.  

In order for your child to be screened, you will need to complete, sign and return a permission slip.  Permission slips will go home in your child's backpack this week.  Please keep a watch out for them and if interested, return them to me by October 7th.  

If you have any questions about this or another issue, as always, do not hesitate to reach out to me at (973) 697-4777 ext 5535 or jluisi@jefftwp.org. 

COVID 2022-2023

 Hello Cozy Families, 

I am excited to say we are finally moving forward and leaving much of the COVID craziness behind.  As with most complicated issues, this path forward is likely to not be a straight line!  We will probably take 2 steps forward and 3 steps back at times, but just know we are definitely moving in the right direction.  

Dealing with COVID issues has been frustrating for all of us.  I ask for your patience and understanding as we continue to navigate the NJ Department of Health recommendations and District Protocols.  

Trust that I am advocating for you with the goal of ensuring all your children feel safe, happy, healthy and in the classroom ready and able to learn. 

As always, if your child has signs or symptoms of illness, please keep them home and reach out to me for further guidance related to testing options and/or need for further physician evaluation.  

We are no longer contact tracing and quarantining close contacts. That said, the NJ DOH is requiring a notification is sent to alert families of potential exposures.  Therefore, if there is a positive case in your child's class or on your child's bus that we are aware of, we will send a Blackboard message to alert you. 

I am sure to have more information shortly, so stay tuned. 

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to me with any questions or concerns.

MISSING: PHYSICAL & IMMUNIZATION RECORDS

Hello Cozy Lake Families, 

I am still missing a large number of updated immunization records and physical exams on our new Kindergarteners.  These are required for attendance in K-12 public school in NJ.  If you have not done so already, please forward your updated records to me asap.   

If I am missing documentation on your child, I will reach out to you by the end of the week.  Please be sure to follow up with me asap to assist me in ensuring your child's records are complete. 

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.  As always, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to me at (973) 697-4777 ext 5535 or jluisi@jefftwp.org.
