#WinAtSocial
We are excited to announce that CDW has launched a partnership with The Social Institute (TSI), a national leader in curriculum designed to equip students to navigate the complex intersection of well-being, social media, and technology. Our school will be adopting TSI’s comprehensive program, called #WinAtSocial, which promotes character, empathy, teamwork, and other important life skills. Ms. Santa will visit the classrooms to share each lesson throughout the year.
At a time when students spend many hours a day on digital devices, TSI equips students to make positive, healthy, and high-character choices that fuel their health, happiness, and future success. Whether or not your child uses social media or a device of their own, we hope that you will consider how these free resources outlined below could be useful to your family.
These supplementary resources provide insight into social media, technology, and student experiences, offering family discussion prompts and informative resources that you can incorporate into family conversations as much or as little as you like.
How Your Family Can Participate:
- Continue the conversation at home: As students experience #WinAtSocial each month, you will find Family Huddle questions in the Weekly Wrap-Up. These are completely optional to run as a family!
- Register your free account for the Parent Toolkit. Many families refer to this as the CliffsNotes of social media and technology! Go to the Toolkit, click Activate Account, and enter our school code: 2729247E3AF3EA

Join the PTO!
Volunteers play a huge part in the PTO and what we are able to offer our students and teachers. Without volunteers, many of the programs that students, teachers, and families enjoy will not be able to happen. Volunteer descriptions can be found at: OTPTO.org under "More Info" and then "Flyers."
If you have interest in joining the PTO Board, joining or running a committee, or just want to learn more- please reach out to the PTO by visiting OTPTO.org and selecting "Contact Old Tappan PTO" under the Help tab.
Picture Day
*Grade 8 students: This will be the picture that is used for the 2024 Yearbook.
Lunch at CDW
Students should either bring their lunch from home each day, or parents may order through one of the approved vendors for delivery to CDW. If you order lunch from an approved vendor for delivery, please make sure the vendor knows your child's first and last name and grade level. This will help to ensure your child receives their lunch on time. At times, we understand that a parent/guardian may need to drop off lunch at school. All lunches need to be placed on the table with the green tablecloth in the vestibule. We will make sure that it's delivered to your child.
5th/6th Grade Lunch ~ 11:27AM-12:01 PM
7th/8th Grade Lunch ~ 12:10PM-12:44 PM
You can find the Lunch Vendors on the Old Tappan School District Website, or refer to the flyer below.
