Kicking Off the 2018-2019 School Year!
Welcome Back!
Just a few reminders:
- Anytime you are coming to the school please bring your photo identification
- If you are using the car/van pick up line remember that Cherrix is a two-way street and you need to wait in the line even if you are going around.
- If you are picking up your child early from school, please send in a note in the morning.
- If there are any changes in dismissal the person picking up must by on the emergency card that you filled out at the start of the year. We will not dismiss unless the person has photo identification and are on the card.

NJ's 3rd Congressional Reading Challenge
The District Reading Challenge was created to encourage students in New Jersey's Third Congressional District to read in their free time. With so many distractions and commitments facing kids these days, a focus on reading is important and we want to challenge the kids in NJ's 3rd District to start the school year off right! This reading challenge will be open to all students and can be easily managed through this site.
- Participating students must read and complete the online form below for three books before the March 22nd deadline
- The contest starts at the beginning of the school year and ends on March 22, 2019 - All forms must be submitted by March 22 to be an eligible participant in the contest
How to begin:
- Start Reading!
- Complete the form provided and answer questions for each book read
- Each child who meets the criteria outlined above will receive a Congressional Certificate from Congressman MacArthur
Smoking Prohibited On School Grounds
Attention parents of preschool children
Does your child have difficulty in one or more of the following areas:
Hearing - Seeing - Talking - Listening - Sitting - Standing - Walking - Running - Feeding One Self
Toilet Training - Socializing
The school district offers FREE PROGRAMS to preschool handicapped children. To be eligible a child must be 3-5 years old and qualify for services. Children under 3 may be served by early intervention programs. We believe the sooner a child's special needs can be determined, the better that child's chances to receive an appropriate education and develop his/her potential.
