Thursday, April 27, 2023 is “Take Our Children to Work Day.” The New Jersey Department of Education encourages school districts to participate in “Take Our Children to Work Day” activities by giving students credit for attendance (excused absence) and affording them an opportunity to discuss what they have learned once they return to school. In previous years, the day has been a success due to the cooperative efforts of thousands of parents, schools, businesses, organizations and other concerned individuals who demonstrated their interest in children’s education and participation in the work force.

If you are planning on having your child participate in this day by taking your child to work with you, then you will need to report this absence in Genesis. Be sure to make note in the form that highglights that your child is participating in Take Your Child to Works Day. Given the number of students who may be absent on this day, it would also be helpful if you email your child’s teacher so that they can better organize the class's day. Thank you!

Here's to many wonderful "on the job" learning experiences!

Roxbury Township Public Schools offers a full-day kindergarten program designed to develop knowledge and skills in the physical, social, emotional, and cognitive areas. Our goal is to help children develop skills and strategies that will help them learn and establish a foundation for lifelong success in education. The program allows more time for students to address curriculum in depth and allows teachers to provide additional activities in learning.

To register for Kindergarten, parents will need to complete the online pre-registration process and begin uploading the required documents for Kindergarten. For a complete list of what to do and what to bring, visit https://www.roxbury.org/Domain/136
