Donovan Dispatch

Dear Donovan Families,

As we continue to have updates regarding the Donovan Situation, we will update and share out here to keep all information in one place. This will be separate from our Donovan Digest to keep both more streamlined with content.

A new arrival dismissal form is required and loaded in your genesis account. In order to ensure students are dismissed properly, please fill out no later than Saturday, August 31st.

Temporary classroom assignments and temporary bus assignments are currently available in the Genesis Parent Portal for all Donovan students.

The information is located at the bottom of the summary screen. If you have any questions or there are any issues, please email Mrs. Rusterholz at drusterholz@freeholdtwp.k12.nj.us, and she will respond after Tuesday.

Some students who attend before school care at Errickson will have missing information, and it will be updated Tuesday.

Please be advised that the busses transporting Laura Donovan students to their temporarily assigned schools will be Freehold Township School District busses and Freehold Regional High School District busses. The Freehold Regional High School District will be providing us support during this temporary relocation.

A family car sign for your dashboard?

• If you planned to be a car rider at Donovan (and plan to when we return)
• If you plan to do parent pickup at your temporary school (even if only one day)
• If you did not plan to be a car rider at LDS, there will not be a sign made yet during Tuesday's pickup. Please email drusterholz@freeholdtwp.k12.nj.us ASAP to have one made for pickup.

A color coded bus pass?

• Every student who will try the bus at some time while attending the temporary school.
• This bus pass MUST be worn (or attached to a backpack) prior to boarding the bus for the first few weeks of school. It is a safety precaution.

A family car sign for dashboard and/or a color coded bus pass?

• At the main entrance of Laura Donovan School on Tuesday, September 3rd and Wednesday, September 4th between 8:00-4:00.
• Don't forget to grab your items this week during this window of time!

2. Errickson Letter: September 26th is Back to School Night.

3. YMCA before care is at Errickson School in the morning.

4. YMCA after care is at your host school in the afternoon.
