Lost and found articles are collected in the main office and stored in a container, with the exception of jewlrey, eye glasses and keys. 

It is suggested that parents mark their child's clothing and personal possessions with their child's name to help prevent items from becoming "lost."

At the end of each month, items that have not been claimed will be donated to local charities.

Office hours are from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Parents are asked to call the school attendance line (908-663-2200, Press Option 1) before 8:45 a.m. whenever their child is absent from school or will be more than 15 minutes late. Calls to this number may be made at any time during the day or night. Please remember to provide a detailed reason as to your child's absence.

The school day begins at 8:45 a.m for students in morning Pre-K. It is important for our students' safety that they do not arrive on school grounds earlier than 8:40 a.m. when direct supervision by our staff begins.

The elementary session for afternoon pre-k students begins at 12:40 p.m. Likewise, it is important for their safety that they arrive on school grounds no earlier than 12:35 p.m., and that a parent (or designated adult) remains with the child until all students are brought into the building and escorted to their classroom.

Session 1 Pre-K students are considered tardy if they are not in their classrooms ready to begin at 8:55 a.m.

Session 2 Pre-k students are considered tardy after 12:45 p.m.

All students that arrive late for school will need to be signed in. Please note, due to the preschool schedule, our students should be present for the entirety of their preschool session, in order for the day to count. Our full day students must be present for 4 hours for the day to count.

Parents are requested not to ask that their child be excused early except when a true emergency makes early dismissal unavoidable. Please do your best to schedule student appointments outside the school day.

Early dismissal should be arranged in writing through the Main Office. Students will be called to the office after the parent/guardian arrives and signs their child out of school.

Please note: students must be present for their entire half-day session for the day to count due to the schedule.

Please enter our building through the main entrance. Ring the doorbell outside, state your name and reason for your visit. (We respectfully ask you to please be patient. The office can be quite busy at times and there may be a short delay before we can respond to the bell.)

No visitor will be permitted to enter the building before 9:00 a.m. due to morning drop-off. Upon entering the building, please report IMMEDIATELY to the Main Office. Sign the visitor's logbook and take a visitor's badge/lanyard, which will be in a basket on the counter. Wear the lanyard at ALL times during your visit. When leaving the building, return the lanyard to the Main Office and enter the time you are exiting the building. The school office reserves the right to request identification for any visitors.

We do not provide tours or drop in visits during the school day.

If your home or cell phone, or emergency contacts have changed, please contact the Main Office so that corrections can be made. 

That you for keeping your children home when there are symptoms of illness. Please keep your child home until an elevated temperature has returned to normal for at least 24 hours WITHOUT the need for fever-reducing medication. Children returning too soon often appear in the Nurse's Office as they are unable to function in the classroom, and have exposed others to illness.
