Remote Learning Option for MOTSD Students
The MOTSD remains committed to providing our families with the option to have their child learn remotely for the duration of the 2020-21 school year.
If your child is attending school in-person, but you'd like to switch him/her to remote learning, remember that you may do so at any time by emailing your child's principal, who in turn will make the appropriate arrangements.
Transportation
All transportation pickup and drop off times will be available in Realtime on Friday, January 8, 2021.
Bus passes will no longer be mailed home.
If you are unable to locate your child’s pickup and drop off time in Realtime,
please contact the transportation department at 973-691-4005.
After-School Activities
Student activities for MOMS and MOHS resume on January 19th.
Due to the abbreviated hybrid schedule, if your child participates in an after school activity, please transport your child back to school.
The late busses will be running and will transport your child home.

Free & Reduced Lunch
Per N.J.A.C. 2:36-1.5(d), "Students are eligible for school meal benefits or free milk for
the school year and up to 30 operating days in the subsequent school year." As of
October 21 2020, all students who previously qualified for free and reduced lunch in the
2019-2020 school year that have not submitted a lunch application for the 2020-2021
school year, have been reset to "paid" status.
To avoid an interruption in benefits please proceed to the Realtime Parent Portal to
either fill out an application otherwise, please indicate that you do not wish to apply at
this time. Please note that only ONE (1) application per FAMILY, is required to
determine qualification status.
