Please see the following information from Mr. Dondero for our upcoming Winter Concert event on Thursday evening.
Dear Parents/ Guardians,
With the forecast expected to drop this evening, out of an abundance of caution, we are going on a two hour delayed opening tomorrow morning (Monday, December 15th). Students are to report to school at 10:30 am. There will be no before school activities, including the Y Kids Before Care Program as well as Beginner Band Practice. Breakfast service will start at 10:15 am. We will still dismiss at the normal time of 3:05 pm.
Stay Safe!

As the holiday season begins, we remember our friend and colleague, Officer Jason Marles. Jay lost his life to a drunk driver on Thanksgiving Eve 2010. Please wear blue tomorrow, on Tuesday, November 25th in honor of Officer Marles.
Patrolman Jason Marles had just completed a drunk driving overtime detail to ensure the streets of Ocean Gate remained safe. As Patrolman Marles headed home to his wife and children, he was struck by a drunk driver on the Garden State Parkway. A friend, a father, and husband was taken from us that day as Patrolman Marles succumbed to his injuries from the crash.
Forever in our hearts
Patrolman Jason Marles
