Junior College Meetings
Ready or not, it is almost time for 11th graders to start planning for college. All 11th grade students and their parents/guardians are required to attend a meeting with their school counselor to prepare for the college process. This year, we will schedule these meetings on Zoom via Google Calendar during the school day from January - March 2024. An email to sign up for your student's meeting will be sent to 11th grade families in December.

Working Papers
The way teens obtain working papers in New Jersey changed on June 1, 2023!
Thanks to a new law, the working papers process will be online and streamlined. Rather than going through local schools, younger workers will simply visit this site and be walked through a few easy steps.
