UMS Staff shares resources to build strong digital citizenship in Kids

How to spot fake news and teach kids to be media savvy – Common Sense Media

Common Sense Media is a great free resource and it is what most of our digital citizenship lessons are based on.  This one in particular talks about Real vs. Fake news but there is a plethora of resources for parents.

Note from the UMS PTA President

First and foremost, please stay safe while we hunker down for the next two weeks!

All PTA lunches ordered for the missed days in March will be credited in April (two days of pizza, one each for Golden House/Jersey Mike’s). No Fuss is cancelled for March and credit will be applied to each individual account.

DO NOT order lunches for the April-May-June order. I know some of you have already sent in your lunch orders for Golden House/Jersey Mike’s. I will reach out to you individually to return your order. We will send out new order forms/due dates once we get back to school.

We will still go forward with the Spring Candy Sale if we have enough interest. I picked up orders today. You can drop off your order to me at 208 Mortimer Avenue. You can leave all orders in my mailbox. You can also order online. I am reaching out to Lee Sims on Monday for an update.

8th Grade Fees are due on March 31st. We still have around 40 students that have not sent in full or partial payment. We will extend the deadline until April 15th. You can drop checks off to me or pay online. We need to reach out to the boat with final numbers by May 1st.

8th Grade Lawn Sign orders are not due until April 18th, but if you want to get your order in, you may do so by dropping off at my house or order online.

With regard to the STEM showcase, School Play and Got Game school trips, PTA meeting, Union will try their best to reschedule. Further information on those events will be given once school is back in session.

We understand that this is a difficult time. If you have any questions, please email pta.unionschool@gmail.com.

Wishing your family a healthy & safe two weeks and looking forward to getting back to school!

Rutherford (NJ) Little League Rutherford Little League Baseball/Softball –  

Registration is now open for the 2020 Rutherford Little League Baseball/Softball season. Players eligible for the 2020 season live or attend school within the Borough of Rutherford. Programs include Tee Ball and coach pitch as well as Minor and Major Baseball, and Minor, Major and Junior Softball. The age requirements are as follows:

Baseball: born 1-September-2007 through 31-August-2016
Softball: born 1-January-2005 through 31-December-2014

All players must re-register each season. Proof of age and Rutherford
residence or school enrollment is required for all players. Residence
may be established by presenting a photocopy of a document such as a
utility bill.

Online registration is open through the league website.

Baseball Registration can be done through the Baseball Website at https://tshq.bluesombrero.com/rutherfordllnj.

The Softball Registration can be done through the Softball Website at https://tshq.bluesombrero.com/rutherfordsoftballnj.

The registration fee for Baseball is $105 per Minor player (Double A and Tee Ball), and $130 per Triple A player, for the season. The Softball registration fee is $105 for all players.

Starting in 2019, the League has imposed a surcharge for players of Major Baseball (Born 9/1/07-08/31/11). This will offset the added expenses in maintaining the field and running the lights, as this is the only field not maintained by the Borough. Only players playing in, or eligible to be selected for, Major Baseball will be assessed a higher amount, as these players utilize the field much more often than others.

As a result, this year’s fee for baseball players born between Sept 2007
and August 2011 is $205.Please visit and “like” our Facebook page at “Rutherford (N.J.) Little
League” for more details, or visit our website for a link to online
