We have partnered with Stafford Township Schools in a shared services agreement for special education services for this coming school year. We are in the process of having the Stafford Township Director of Special Services and CST transition records with the Southern Regional special education Department who we previously worked with. You will be receiving more information about meet and greet meetings set up for families of students with IEP's within the first 7 days of the school year. We want to help you to get to know the new case manger and to help support your children to succeed.

Our Realtime parent portal will allow you to view your child’s schedule, daily attendance, and teacher's gradebook once the school year has begun.

The Realtime link can be always accessed from our homepage under the Parents tab. You will need your Username and Password. If you do not have or remember this information, please contact the main office.
