SOMEA showcasing Pride on Tuesday, April 4, 2017

“March 2nd, 2017 is the official start of contract negotiations between the South Orange-Maplewood Education Association (SOMEA) and the South Orange-Maplewood Board of Education. As a show of unity and support for all 700+ members of SOMEA, whose voices will be represented at the negotiations table, SOMEA leadership is asking that members wear their official SOMEA t-shirts in their respective buildings and worksites on various dates throughout the remainder of the 2016-2017 school year. This action is meant to be a demonstration of support and solidarity among our membership, as we embark on our negotiations with the Board.  It is meant to celebrate the many things that the members of SOMEA make happen in and outside of the classroom on a daily basis. It is important for us to be unified and to acknowledge our contributions to making the School District of South Orange and Maplewood one of the most sought after school districts in the state.”

 

Calendar Update via SOMSD: District Closed Friday, May 5/26 and Delayed Opening Tuesday, May, 30th for STUDENTS ONLY!

April 25, 2017

4/25/17
 
Last night, the Board of Education approved some adjustments to our calendar, prompted by the discovery that an extra day had mistakenly been scheduled for June.
Therefore, unless we use an emergency closing day in the meantime, the district will be closed on Friday May 26th.
In addition, students at all South Orange Maplewood Schools will have a delayed opening on Tuesday, May 30th.  Elementary and middle schools start two hours later than their usually scheduled start times (see schedule below). All CHS students should report to school at 10:00am.  If your child usually takes a bus to school, the bus will arrive approximately two hours later than the typical pick up time.  Before-care will be available at all elementary schools, for those students enrolled in the YMCA’s before-care program.
Staff will have a full day, which will begin with a faculty meeting at Columbia High School.  More details will be sent to staff directly.
