GENERAL INFORMATION

Paperless Communication

All Parents must provide a valid working email. Emails will be our primary mode of home to school communication. Parents may also provide a number to receive mass texts. 

Automatic Payment Withdrawals

Once the system for automatic payment options is available, parents will be encouraged to use this convenient method for providing payments. Delinquent or late payments may result in a mandatory use of this system for continued enrollment.

Transfer of Immunization Records

When transferring from one school to another, the parent should request the Certificate of Immunization from the current school and take it to the new school. The student’s original State of New Jersey Health History and Appraisal (form- A-45) will be mailed to new school once student is officially enrolled and request is made by health office of new school. The A-45 is a form, which is used to document all immunizations the student has received to date.

Personal Belongings

Students are not allowed to exchange or share ANY personal items, including money.

Students may not bring objects to school that are dangerous, valuable, or distracting to other students. Trading cards, skateboards, toys, or other recreational items are not allowed on the school premises. These items will be confiscated by a staff member and will only be returned to a parent/guardian.

Cellular/Mobile Phones

Students are not allowed to use personal phones to make calls or outside contact of any kind during the school day. In order to maintain the safety and security of your children, it is necessary for us to control who is able to have access and contact with your child while they are in our care.  Emergency messages and phone calls to PARENTS ONLY will be allowed using the school phones with an adult present. 

Technology/Electronic Devices for Instruction: 

We believe that technology is a useful tool. It is important for students to have access to information and applications that will aid and enhance instruction and the learning experience. All students and parents will be required to sign the Use of Technology Agreement. There may be times during the school day when the use of smart phones will be allowed and appropriate for use. Cellular phones being seen, heard or used during the school day without permission, or being misused at any time will be confiscated and left with the Director of Designee to be picked up by a parent or guardian

IMPORTANT: Teachers will not safeguard cell phones and under no circumstances will the school be responsible for replacement or repair of lost, damaged, or stolen cellular phones irrespective of whether the phone is stolen from a locker or from any other place. It’s best to follow school policy for the use of cellular phones.
