A malfunctioning fire sensor in Frank Antonides set off an alarm this morning, requiring us to evacuate our students and staff. Fire and police personnel assisted the administration with an investigation into the cause of the malfunction, and we have engaged the services of the alarm company to permanently fix the hardware involved. Our students and staff have resumed their normal schedules.

Dear Parents/Guardians,
New Jersey's approved Elementary and Secondary
Education Act (ESEA) Flexibility Request requires
that the State implement an accountability system with differentiated recognitions,
interventions and supports. Section 2F of the Application charges the New Jersey
Department of Education (NJDOE) with
providing incentives and supports to schools that
are not classified as a Priority or Focus School.
It is required that our district develop an action plan
articulating how we will address the needs
of student populations that did not meet
their progress targets on the New Jersey ASK.
Below please find Action Plans for
Betty McElmon - Language Arts
and Frank Antonides - Mathematics.
