Important Dates & Cafeteria Info...
As you know, from previous district and school communications, federal waivers for free meals expired in June 2022. All districts have been required to return to pre-pandemic operations for the 2022-23 school year. Meals free of charge will be available only to those students who qualify through Direct Certification, Categorical Eligibility, or the 2022-2023 Application for Free and Reduced Price School Meals. Please contact the main office if you need assistance with completing an application: 732.505.5830.
We encourage you to review the weekly menu with your child to determine what days (if any) they will purchase lunch. Our district is committed to ensuring the health of our students and we will never deny a student lunch if they report that they are hungry or have not brought a lunch from home.

TRRS Dress Code
Please Review With Your Child/ren
(A paper copy of the following will be sent home with students in grades four and five.)
The Toms River Regional district recognizes that styles of grooming and dress communicate
individual preferences and can influence student behavior and enhance a school’s learning
environment. Students are expected to dress appropriately for school – this means being clean and well-groomed in appearance, avoiding styles of dress and grooming that disrupt the school environment or distract other students. Such limitations on a student’s taste and individuality are necessary to achieve the educational goals of the school.
Styles that interfere with the school’s educational program and mission of the school will not be tolerated. Clothing or accessories that pose a danger to the health or safety of students, staff, or are harmful to school property are prohibited. Those who do not follow the school’s dress code may be disciplined.
Students who violate the dress code may be removed from class until a parent/guardian arrives and provides appropriate attire. To prevent the loss of class time, parents/guardians are reminded to monitor their children’s attire before they leave for school.
Although no attempt is made to include all items, the following types of attire are generally
unacceptable:
- Clothes/articles which are soiled with grease, oil, paint, or dirt.
- Clothes, jewelry, or articles displaying indecent or inappropriate writing, pictures, or slogans.
- Jewelry or other articles that could cause damage to other pupils or property (Example: chains, belts, cleats, etc.)
- Clothing that is ragged or excessively torn
- Clothing that is extreme in brevity, length, tightness and/or transparency.
- Clothing that exposes a bare midriff.
- Tank top shirts (spaghetti straps, halter tops, bandeau style tops or sports bras)
- Jewelry/earrings and clothing which restricts movement, is districting, or causes a safety hazard to oneself or others.
- Head coverings of any kind are prohibited in school unless authorized by administration for religious purposes. Including but not limited to - hats, hoods, bandanas and balaclavas.
- Inappropriate footwear, that is deemed unsafe for school. Good judgment should be exercised when choosing footwear.
- Pajamas, or underwear exposed or worn as outerwear.
