What's For Lunch This Week?

Click this links for cafeteria menus.  Scroll down to the bottom of the page to access menus for all schools

The district has a cafeteria and food service website that has all of the information you will need for the year.  Be sure to visit for more comprehensive information and forms you may need for the year along with the monthly menus.
Important Bus Transportation Information
back-school-bus.jpg
Parents are asked to be understanding  the first few days of school.  There may be slight delays with afternoon drop offs especially at Young School.  We triple check student tags before placing them on the bus in the afternoon.  Please do not alter bus tags.  Altered bus tags delays the boarding process for students.  Please send in a note or complete the online form.

An e-alert will be sent, as we have in previous years, if we have delays.  We thank you in advance for your patience. 

Please remember to register your special situations with the Transportation Department and your child's school. The best way to accomplish this is to complete the appropriate form found on  this webpage.  This would include providing the district with information if your child is not taking the bus, attending PrimeTime after school, or being bussed to another address on a 5 day a week basis.
 
Please visit the   Transportation Website for important safety information.
 
Should you have a situation or issue that you would like addressed, please use the form on  this webpage   to allow the district to collect needed information to expedite communication.  This includes requests for a change in bus stop and other questions.
You Must Show ID

Safety and security are a top priority for our students and staff.  Please remember that anyone visiting our schools must show a valid ID.  Anyone picking up a child from school must show ID and be listed on the child's emergency card.  So remember to bring your ID with you upon entering any of our buildings. We thank you for adhering to our safety protocols.

IMPORTANT  INFO FOR ALL PARENTS!
   
This is very important information for all parents!!
 
Summer Reading reminder for 
parents and students
 
Surveys are due by Sept. 9, 2016!
 
 
This year we replaced our "response  to reading task" with a "survey of literacy behaviors." Our survey will help us  to learn more about WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, WHY and HOW our students read. This information will be useful for teachers  to know more about their students' reading interests. It will also help  to inform program and resource planning staff at the building and district level. Your assistance in helping our students  tocomplete this survey is greatly appreciated.

The goal of Burlington Township  School District's Summer Reading Project is  to follow the guidelines set forth by the Department of Education in encouraging our students  to develop a lifeĀ­long love of reading. This year's summer reading project focuses on instilling the love of reading into the students. Your child will complete a survey of literacy behaviors  to provide us with more information about reading preferences. 

Please make sure your child submits a completed survey electronically by Friday, September 9, 2016. High  school students who do not have English scheduled until semester two may submit the survey any time prior  to the fourth day of semester two. 

The Burlington Township School District will develop the intellectual, creative, and social potential of each child through an active partnership with all members of the community.
