Announcements:
Big thanks to all of our Car Line Families!
You have helped us to keep the car line moving along safely and efficiently, and we now able to unload all car riders by about 8:55am. We are so grateful for the teamwork, positivity, and your words of encouragement each morning!
Please continue to follow our car line guidelines:
- PLEASE DO NOT PARK YOUR CAR AND WALK YOUR CHILD THROUGH THE CAR LINE. This further delays the car line and creates a safety risk for you and your child.
- ALL vehicles will enter using the driveway closest to Strathmore Drive.
- Students will only be permitted to exit at the designated DROP-OFF ZONE, and MUST exit from the driver's side of the vehicle.
- Please pull as far forward as you possibly can prior to allowing your child to exit the vehicle. This will enable more families to unload safely at one time.
- ALL vehicles will exit using the driveway closest to the school building.
- Morning Car Line Diagram Linked Here
- Car Rider Dismissal Diagram Linked Here

Please share this information with any family members or friends who will be dropping off your child in the morning.

Some helpful information related to our school meal program.
All students are eligible for free breakfast and lunch. Please make sure your child knows if they should take a school breakfast and/or lunch. Please also let your child's teacher know if your child may be too shy to let us know they need to go to breakfast, or pick up lunch.
Here is a link to the interactive menus which allow you to review the ingredients and nutritional information. Be sure talk with your child about the breakfast and lunch choices available.
School-Aged Child Care (SACC) ~ FAQs
Yes, call the SACC Hotline at 856-429-6564, option 1, if your child will not be attending PM SACC. This includes when your child is absent from school, leaves early or will be a walker or busser. You do not need to call the hotline if your child will be absent from AM SACC.
What do I need when dropping off or picking up my child?
When picking up or dropping off your child, you must wear a mask. You will be greeted at the door and you must have your child’s seven digit student identification number as well as photo identification. At PM Pick-up Staff will bring your child to you. We ask that you remain outside and give your child a few minutes transition time.
