Emergency Notification TEST THIS THURSDAY

On Thursday, September 17, you will receive a test phone call from our emergency broadcast system. The phone number on your caller ID will appear as (973) 584-5530. A message will be left on your voicemail if you do not pick up. You will also receive a text message on your cell phone.

This is only a test to ensure that you can be reached in case of an emergency, such as a school closing or delayed opening due to inclement weather. In the case of an actual emergency call, calls could be made as early as 5:00 am.

In addition to a phone call, the following methods will also be used to communicate any actual closings or delays:
  • A message will be placed on the school's answering machine.
  • An email will be sent.
  • The homepage of the school website will be updated.

October Lunch Ordering Now Open
October lunch ordering is now open and will close on September 25. Please make sure you receive an email confirmation for your order. If you do not receive an email confirmation, your order did not go through and will be cancelled.

Please be reminded that your child does not have to eat the entree that is listed for the day.  They may choose to not eat the entree, and instead eat any of the daily offerings. Daily offerings include salad, soup, pasta and marinara sauce, sun butter sandwiches, egg salad, tuna salad and fruit. Your child can have as much or as little of any of the food offered, as long as you have ordered lunch for that day.

If you did not order lunch and your child forgets to bring lunch that day, they will be allowed to have the school lunch provided.  Your account will be charged $6 for the cost of lunch.
 
Information regarding the lunch program and procedures for ordering lunches  can be found here.  

If you have any questions about the lunch program, please call the school office. 

Transportation Notifications
Please let the office know if your child will be taking a different method home than normally scheduled. Please either call or email mwasserman@grtwacademy.org, no later than 12:00 PM with any transportation changes. This includes changes such as getting picked up instead of taking the bus, going home with another student, or staying in school for an after school activity.
