Next September and Beyond
Today's Path Leading to Tomorrow's Success!
 

Well, today is the day that we officially say good-bye to Summer and tomorrow we welcome the Fall season. We are officially full steam ahead on our educational journey for the 2016-2017 school year.  We are excited about the awesome turnouts we have had for our Back to School nights.  Please continue to come out, get involved, and partner with your teachers to make a difference and support your child as they grow this year.

There is valuable information in this NewsFlash.  For those of you who are new to our District, the NewsFlash is used to provide you with important date reminders and other information.  The regular Falcon Flyer highlights our students, staff, and community and has pictures you will not want to miss.  Remember to sign up to receive the building eNews in addition to the Falcon Flyer.  Our goal is to keep our families informed.  Don't forget to like us on Facebook!

Have a great day!
Liz

P.S. Celebrate the end of summer with a visit to Rita's tonight to support Project Graduation!

Falcon Flyer Subscription Update 

The rollover has been completed.  If you are still NOT receiving any of the newsletters you signed up for, please email Liz Scott so your subscription can be investigated.

Remember that each building is able to communicate with their parents, the information that is relevant only to that school. In order to be sure you are signed up for the correct building(s) please update your Falcon Flyer subscription TODAY! Follow the steps below to get information on updating your profile. 
 
(Please note if you have multiple emails registered, you will have to do it for each address).
 
2. Click "Join"
 
3. Click the submit button to have the update email sent to your email address.
 
4. Check your email, follow the prompts and select the appropriate boxes. Everyone should continue their subscription to the Falcon Flyer. Remember this will give you district wide news and emergency information. Then select all schools for which you wish to receive updates.

5. If you are a resident who does not have children in the district or if you are a senior citizen in the community, there is nothing for you to do. All of your information will come through the regular Falcon Flyer.

If there are no school changes for your child, there is nothing else for you to do.  I do hope that those parents who had children graduate this year, will continue their subscription to the Falcon Flyer.  You can simply deselect the specific school and get only notifications from the Falcon Flyer.  We will continue to provide our entire community with relevant community event information, senior citizen corner news, and emergency updates, in addition to the regular school news.  If you are moving out of the Burlington Township community, simply select unsubscribe at the bottom of any newsletter and you will be removed from our mailing list. 
 
**Several people had issues last year with the rollover, we hopefully were able to mitigate these issues. Please follow these steps if you haven't been receiving your selected newsletters and email us.
