It's hard to believe that July is coming to a close. We are getting closer and closer to the start of the new school year!!!!! 

Our internet, and phones are back up and running.... Not to mention... We have wireless throughout the building...

Bacon Bears,

There are so many projects happening at RM Bacon this summer. We will feel like we have a new school in the fall! In the meantime, the front office will remain closed until July 25th due to the wireless instillation project. Should you need to get in touch with Mrs. Klaudi or Dr. Cook, please feel free to email us or stop by the 3rd floor Curriculum Center at the Culver Building. We will also be checking phone messages! We apologize for this inconvenience, but we are excited about the WIFI!!!!!

July 8 - 12

Bacon Bears,


We have selected our new theme for the 2013-14 School Year. 

It's all about respect!

How did we get to this theme? We looked at our data.... As a team, we decided, based on the PBIS data from last year and all of the feedback from teachers, that the area students are struggling most with is RESPECT. We are looking forward to integrating this theme into the classrooms and throughout the school this year. Have an idea? Email Dr. Cook at spike.cook@millvillenj.gov
