This is a friendly reminder that Back to School night is TONIGHT at Halsted from 6-8pm! Hope to see you there!
Halsted is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month! Today we will be highlighting:
Lin-Manuel Miranda who is a composer, lyricist and actor of Puerto Rican heritage. He is well-known for creating the musicals "Hamilton” and “In the Heights,” and for showcasing Hispanic talent and stories in his productions. He most recently wrote music for the movie Encanto and the musical New York, New York.
Digital Library Card Links are now available! Even if students signed up for one last year, they must sign up for it again this year. With the digital library cards, students will be able to access materials/books/resources from the Sussex County Library, digitally. Please note, that students will be unable to use this card to check out physical books from the library.
