Support for Families from the New Jersey Department of Education

As parents or guardians, you want nothing more than an excellent education for your children. The NJ Department of Education wants nothing more than to help you achieve this! They have created a family-focused web site at www.NJFamilies.com with resources to help you support your child’s education, and navigate your school system. The NJDOE has also opened a “Help Desk” which can be reached through the parent menu option of their toll-free number: 877-900-6960.

Let’s work together for the good of our children. Sign up for the NJDOE mailing list on their web site at http://www.state.nj.us/education/ or join the mailing list here. We look forward to helping you help your children.

Reminder To Parents

Please keep your child home from school for at least 24 hours after their fever of greater than 100 degrees along with sore throat, cough, diarrhea, and/or vomiting has resolved (without the use of medication).

Together, we can keep our students healthy and successful.
