Our students are very excited about Field Day. Mr. Finnegan, Ms. Fletcher, and Mr. Torres have been helping the students learn about the games that will be played, emphasizing good sportsmanship and FUN.

The activities begin at 9:15 am and end at 11:15 am.

Please make sure your student wears sneakers and brings a water bottle.

Hats are OK.

Parents/Guardians are welcome to be spectators, but must remember that students must remain with their class at all times. The PTA Room and Point Parents will be on hand to follow our students from activity to activity.

If you have any questions, please reach out to the main office.

Dear East Brunswick Families,

As we approach the conclusion of the academic year, we would like to inform you about the end-of-year procedures for student devices. Specifically, regarding the return of devices for the graduating 4th-grade students who will be transitioning to a new building. It is important that these students return their assigned devices, along with all accompanying accessories, to their current building during the week of June 16th. Please ensure that both the device and its charger are included in the return. Any device not received by June 20th will result in a device fine of $251.

For the remaining 2nd and 3rd graders, who will soon become our esteemed 3rd and 4th graders, they will have the opportunity to take their devices home at the end of the year. This will allow them to adequately prepare for the upcoming academic term and be fully equipped on the first day of school.

Thank you.
