Please be advised that the Stafford Township Board of Education Regulation #5410 states that “assignment of a teacher to each class group shall be the sole responsibility of the Building Principal.”  Parent/Guardian input is always welcome. 

The Stafford Township School District makes every effort to balance our classes in terms of ability, gender, and number of students in a class, and many other criteria – which often makes it difficult to honor parent/guardian requests.  If you have specific concerns about the placement of your child, or have specific information that will help us make an appropriate placement for your child, please feel free to send that information to the building principal.   If you wish to have one teacher removed from consideration, such wishes will usually be honored, provided that appropriate reasons / justification / rationale are well documented and included with the correspondence. 

All pertinent information must be submitted to the building principal by May 15th.  Any information received after that date will not be considered.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  



In addition....  

                                                                                  

In an effort to ensure the continuing safety of our students and staff, we have instituted the following policies:
 
Building doors will be locked at all times.  Visitors will be admitted to the building by the greeter only.  Once you enter the building, please do not hold the door open for someone else who is standing behind you.  All visitors must identify themselves prior to being admitted to the building.
  • Students may not be dropped off at school before 7:50 am.  In order to facilitate a faster drop-off for your child, you are encouraged to use the carline drop-off at the entrance to the school.
  • For the safety of the children, we ask that requests for early pick-up be made at least thirty (30) minutes prior to dismissal.  All requests should be made to the greeter by calling 978-5700 x. 1139.  After picking up your child, please exit the building promptly remembering not to allow anyone to enter after you.
  • Parents/Guardians picking up students will not be admitted into the building before 2:25 pm.
  • No one will be allowed into the building before these scheduled times unless specific arrangements are made with the building principal.
  • Due to the configuration of the McKinley Lobby, Parents/Guardians picking up students will be admitted to the building in small groups in order to better facilitate the monitoring of the building; and
  • Police Officers from the Stafford Township Police Department will be visiting our school on a regular basis to familiarize him/herself with our building and staff.
Your cooperation is sincerely appreciated.  If you require any additional information, please feel free to contact me at 609-978-5700 Ext. 1134.

Particularly during this time of the year, the weather can vary greatly from day to day.  Please check weather forecasts and make sure that your child is dressed accordingly.  The students will continue to go outside for recess every day that the temperature is above 32 degrees.
