Pajama Collection
The students in the InvestiG.A.T.E. program are collecting new pajamas and books for The Pajama Program again this year. This is a non-profit organization that donates to children in foster care, shelters, and to those who are in need. This year, we are collecting for the children at a local NORWESCAP Head Start preschool and the Hunterdon County Department of Children and Families, which serves children and youth who have been abused/neglected.
If you're interested in donating, please sign up for a specific child on this site.

School Choice
Delaware Township School is one of New Jersey's Inter-district Public School Choice districts and enables us to enroll students who do not reside within Delaware Township without any cost to parents. The program increases educational opportunities for students and their families by providing students with school options outside of their district of residence and giving parents the power to select a school program that best serves their child's individual needs. The deadline to apply for the Choice Program for the 2025-2026 school year is November 25, 2024. This is a state-wide deadline for all choice districts.
Yearbooks
Seasonal Performances
As we enter into the holiday season, our students will begin participating in various grade level performances and seasonal activities during the school day that parents and guardians will be invited to. We ask that younger and older siblings remain in their classrooms to continue their learning for the day. We all must work together to send a consistent message to our students about how important it is to be present in class. In addition, for many of these performances, the students will typically attend dress rehearsals that still allow them to watch these wonderful performances. Thank you all for your cooperation in ensuring our students' success.
Tractor Parade & Holiday Tree Lighting
We're Hiring!
We are currently looking for a part-time paraprofessional to assist with some of our students.
As we enter November, a month dedicated to gratitude, we’re excited to introduce a special initiative: our Gratitude Jar! Located in the cafeteria, this jar invites both students and staff to participate in a heartwarming activity that fosters appreciation within our school community.
Here’s how it works: Take a moment to jot down one thing you’re grateful for and drop it into the jar. You can choose to remain anonymous or include your name—whichever feels right for you.
Artist Spotlight
Inspired by Bob Ross, 7th-grade students were taught blending, layering, and the 'happy little accident' technique as they selected their own 'happy place' and created landscapes in his signature style.
Elementary chorus rehearsals have begun! They are held for interested 4th and 5th graders on
Wednesday mornings at 8:10am until the 11th of December.
Native American Heritage Month
November is Native American Heritage Month.
This month, we offer recognition for the significant contributions the first Americans made to the establishment and growth of the United States!
