If your child is sick or throwing up prior to the start of the school day, please do not send your child to school. Numerous children are going to the nurse first period and stated that they have a fever or have thrown up. We want all of our learners to be healthy and able to learn when they come to school. If your child is out, parents/guardians can request work. If you have a doctor’s note please send it in and we can adjust your attendance accordingly.

This month's Student Council Activities can be found on the calendar.

Black History Month is a celebration of Black American history and achievement that takes place each February in the United States. One of our activities honoring Black History Month is a laser light show featuring Black Americans who shaped history.

This is a reminder that school starts at 8:55am.

If students arrive to homeroom later than 8:55 am, they will be marked tardy. The Drop Off Zone doors will close at this time, and parents/guardians will need to drive to the front of the building, park their car and walk their child to the front doors to sign them in.

Parents/Guardians can be taken to court over attendance. Please only keep your child/children home if they are sick and submit doctor's notes when your child/children are ill so we can mark the attendance excused. Parents/Guardians must have a meeting with school administration if they are absent frequently without any doctor’s notes.

If you have any questions regarding attendance please call the office at 732-650-5370.

FACTS About School Attendance

1. In NJ, chronic absenteeism is defined as missing 10% or more of the school year.

2. Poor attendance can influence whether children read proficiently by the end of third grade.

3. Being absent just two times per month can lead to a student being considered chronically absent.

Please read our quarterly Attendance Matters Newsletter, for more information regarding absenteeism and resources to build healthy habits at home.

Parents/Guardians are encouraged to be at the bus stop before and after school. Please remind your child/children that they should not be picking up snow and throwing it at anyone as they enter or exit the bus. Sometimes the snow could have ice in it and can injure someone. We do not want any of our students getting injured.
