Dear Families,

I just wrote a note to the staff asking, “Isn’t it March that is supposed to come in like a lion and go out like a lamb?” It seems like January is bringing the New Year in like a lion! The bad weather the first week back—all the warnings about the Omicron variant in the state, many local schools going remote—Paterson is not going remote, but we have had our share of exposure to this variant. I thank you for your diligence and I have a big ask!
