Ridgewood NJ, a reader stated to obvious , “There still seems to be a significant amount of misunderstanding among the general public which, I believe, is mostly due to the way in which they consume their news. Most news comes by way of the political filter of either CNN/MSNBC/ABC/CBS/NBC/PBS, which all hate Trump to varying degrees, and will present “the facts” in a way that hopes you vote for their guy, Biden, at the end of the year. Remember, we are in an election year, which has really ratcheted up the Trump Derangement Syndrome level. Otherwise, you watch Fox, which is really the only right-leaning TV news broadcaster, which does the opposite.”

Ridgewood School Home School Day 17 ,Due to COVID 19

how to teach frustration tolerance to kids hero

April 20, 2020

Dear Ridgewood School Community,

Last week, Governor Murphy announced that he would provide more information about the length of our school closure by May 15.

I bring this up so that during this time of uncertainty, you are prepared for continued widespread school closures and social distancing.
