A Message from Mrs. Lechner
Hello WFS and LDS Parents and Guardians,
I hope you all had an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend.
Thank you for attending our Back-To-School-Night. Collaboration between parents and teachers, is essential for ensuring your child's success. This will foster a positive home-school connection which will lead to student growth and help them reach their full potential.
Thank you for supporting our district's safety and security policy and working with us to keep your children safe. If you are picking up your child early, please be sure the office is informed at least 15 minutes before you arrive and please bring photo ID.
Have a wonderful week!
Warm regards,
Mrs. Lechner

WFS PTO
Welcome to the WFS PTO
Hello WFS & LDS families and welcome to the new school year!
The WFS PTO is happy to be back in school with West Freehold's amazing community of students, staff, and families!
WHO ARE WE and HOW TO JOIN THE PTO?
West Freehold School's PTO is focused on supporting our school to provide further enrichment and additional experiences for our students. However, we cannot do that without your support and participation!
You can join the PTO for only $15 per family for the 2024-2025 school year by completing our all-new registration form HERE
If you would like to be a Head or Assistant Class Parent for your child's class, you can do so when completing your membership information. A description of the Head and Assistant Class Parent roles can be found while registering. Please note - the PTO does NOT pick Class Parents, classroom teachers do, but you must volunteer through our membership portal. The deadline to volunteer to be a Room Parent is 9/25/24
The PTO website and directory app used in the past are currently not usable. We apologize for this inconvenience. We are working to find a new, more efficient tool with a member directory, reminders, calendar events and more! We appreciate your understanding and will notify all members when our new tool becomes available soon!
JOIN US
If you are interested in joining us, please register HERE ~ because this meeting takes place during school hours, all attendees are asked to pre-register and will need to show their ID in order to enter the school building. Thank you.
