Forms & Policies

Parent Forms

Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:35-4.7 and the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor (2025), parents/guardians may request that their child be excused from specific instructional materials or lessons that conflict with their sincerely held religious beliefs or conscience.

This form must be completed in full and submitted to the building principal at least 10 school days prior to the relevant instruction, unless exigent circumstances exist. Each request will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis

Student Accident Insurance Form

Student Health Insurance

New Jersey law mandates that all children age 18 and under have health insurance with affordable options for parents/guardians.

The requirement for health insurance coverage can be met in a variety of ways:

through a health insurance plan provided by your employer;
through a health insurance policy you purchase directly; and
through NJ FamilyCare which provides free or low cost insurance for children and their parents/guardians.

Enrollment in school insurance only does not satisfy this new mandate. For more information about NJ Family Care or to apply, please call 1-800-701-0710 or visit www.njfamilycare.org.

Parents or guardians who earn too much to qualify for NJ FamilyCare can purchase health insurance for their children at reasonable rates through another program called the NJ FamilyCare Advantage program, which is administered by Horizon NJ Health. For more information about this program, please call NJ FamilyCare Advantage at 1-800-637-2997.

As the law also requires, the New Jersey Department of Education is now assisting the New Jersey Department of Human Services in its efforts to identify uninsured children and to help families access free or low cost health insurance or visit www.horizonNJhealth.com.

Healthy children make better students! Our goal is to assist all New Jersey families in securing no cost or affordable insurance which will provide access to quality healthcare. If you have any questions about this new requirement, please call 1-800-701-0710.

Homework Policy

Homework Policy

Homework assigned by a teacher is meant to assist students in mastering concepts. It is expected that students will complete homework nightly and have it completed for class each day.

While the district has a redo/retake policy, students must show a good effort on homework in order to receive credit. It is the teacher's discretion as to whether homework was completed with a good effort and whether the student will receive credit. Students who made a reasonable attempt at their homework can earn up to a 70% if redone. Homework will not be given credit if it was not produced on the day that it was due, copied from another student, or partially completed.

Assignments missed as a result of absences are to be made up in a timely fashion. Students are given one extra day for each day he or she has been absent. It is the responsibility of the student to request makeup work. Homework will be provided after the second consecutive day of absence. Students should obtain assignments from a peer for absences of two or less days. Homework should be requested from the main office by extension 5108, and the team leaders will be contacted by the office personnel. Homework agendas are provided by the school PTO and are expected to be used daily. Agendas may be signed and monitored by parents and teachers as deemed necessary.
