IMPORTANT INFORMATION
My Math - Our New Elementary Math Program
After nearly two years of research and curriculum revision work, we have begun the process of implementing a new Math program at the elementary level that is appropriately rigorous and aligned to the NJ Student Learning Standards for Mathematics. In September 2017, My Math was fully implemented in all grade 3-5 classrooms at DIS.
Please click here to view more information about My Math, why it was selected, a video introduction, and another video showing parents how to access all of the online supports available.
When Sending Notes to School with your Child...
...please be sure to write your child's first and last name in the note to ensure that the information contained within can be documented accordingly. Thank you.
VIRTUAL BACKPACK
The Delran Intermediate School Virtual Backpack, located under Parents tab, contains flyers, letters, forms, trip details and other notices that are sent home with your child from the school's main office. This, along with our upcoming event calendar, will allow you the opportunity to keep up-to-date with school activities with just the click of your mouse.
The Students tab has a wealth of information for your child.
Arriving to School!
We are thrilled that our students are eager to come to school each day and do their best to arrive on time; however, please be aware that students may not be dropped off or arrive to school before 8:10 am, as there is no proper supervision. When arriving before 8:10 am, please keep your children in your car until the bell rings and the movement of the car line students is monitored by the adults on duty. Also, for those who walk to school, it is important that their walk is timed accordingly so that those students are not arriving excessively early as well. If there is a family scheduling conflict that necessitates the need to arrive to school early, Primetime is available (even for sporadic needs). Please click here for more information about Primetime.
LATE TO SCHOOL
A friendly reminder: We ask that parents please escort children into school and sign them in, if arriving after the 8:20 am late bell. Thanks so much.
Car Pool/ student drop-off and pick up
Though we understand that the parking lot is not easily navigated during the rushes of the morning and afternoon, we ask that you remain cognizant of the bus traffic and flow. When entering the school parking lot in the morning, please stay in the right lane while waiting to turn down the aisle for drop-off; this allows those who need park to enter the parking lot. In the afternoon, please stay in the left lane, as busses also enter in the main parking lot. Please do not use or block the bus lane.
Primetime drop-off and pick up-
Parents: please remember that, for the safety of all, it is imperative that no one drives and/or parks in the side driveway when dropping off or picking up at Primetime. The driveway needs to stay clear of extraneous vehicles to allow for deliveries, trash removal, and emergency vehicles. Please park in the parking lot, then escort your child to Primetime. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
