Message From our Nurse Meg – Montclair School Nurse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please remember to keep your students home from school when they have symptoms of illness.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have seen an uptick in illnesses in schools that involve the respiratory system (cough, runny nose, sore throat and sneezing) and gastrointestinal system (stomach upset, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea) of the body and we need those students to recover at home. If your student has any of these symptoms or a fever they need to be home until their symptoms have greatly improved, they can participate in school activities and they have been fever-free without fever reducing medication for 24 hours before returning to school. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the main office and speak to our front office staff. Thank you for your cooperation and have a wonderful weekend!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

School Choice Round 1 is Here and ends on Tuesday Feburary 14th<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DPS School Choice round 1 begins today, 1\/13. The window is open from January 13th at 10 A.M to February 14th. If your child is in ECE or 5th grade, you must fill out a school choice application to ensure they have a spot in the fall<\/strong>.   To participate in SchoolChoice, families submit one SchoolChoice application per student, on which they rank their top schools in order of preference, up to a limit of 12. DPS then uses a computer algorithm that matches students to schools based on those preferences, as well as school admission priorities<\/a> and available space.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process for applying to ECE is changing this year as we switch to Universal Preschool.

To apply for preschool for the 2023-24 school year, you must fill out both a UPK application and a DPS School Choice Application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
