Message from the Freehold Township Education Association
The Freehold Township Education Association would like to invite you to meet the candidates running for the Freehold Board of Education this November. The Freehold Board of Education impacts the education of our students and this is your chance to hear their thoughts and ideas about the future of education in Freehold Township. We hope you can join us for this Freehold Township Pride in Public Education event so you will know the candidates you are voting for in November.
Interested individuals can go to the FTEANJ.com website to sign up. The link can be found in the FTEA Event drop down box. They might have to copy and paste the link. We have a limit of 60 tickets, but will also have a wait list and depending on interest, we might increase the amount of tickets available. Individuals should RSVP by Sept. 30. I have also provided the link below:
Morning Drop Off
- Morning drop off begins at 7:00am at both the front and side entrances. Students should wait with their parents until 7:00am. There is no supervision in the building prior to that time; therefore, students will not be permitted in the building until 7:00am.
- Due to the high volume of cars dropping off in the morning, parents are encouraged to drop their child off prior to 7:30am.
- Please note our one-way traffic pattern diagram. See attached map: http://bit.ly/2vxm2AZ
- Drop off is curbside only at the side entrance.
- Please maintain a speed of no more than 5 miles per hour when traveling in the parking lot, to ensure the safety of staff and students.
