August 18, 2017 - Urgent Deadlines            

   

 

The deadline to request busing accommodations is quickly approaching.  It is very important that parents complete this information in advance, especially for Young School students by Friday.  Parents are also reminded to complete their InfoSnap information which was sent last week.

 

The Back to School Editions of the Falcon Flyer will be released this week.  Thank you for your attention in these matters!

Important-Accommodation Busing Information

You will NOT have to complete this form unless you need to make changes to your child's bus stop due to child care issues.

If your child is going to need Accommodation Busing for the upcoming school year, please fill out and return the Accommodation Busing Form no later than Friday,
August 18th, 2017.

Complete details may be found on the Township website, at the school or in the Transportation Office located in the Hopkins Building. You may also click this link to quickly access the form and complete online:   Accommodation Busing.

This is very important news for all parents who will require their child to use a bus stop that is different from what will be assigned based on your address.  
 
Here is an example of a situation that would require special busing accommodations:  1.  My child has a babysitter or grandparent , providing child care, who lives in a different area of Township.  The child would have to be picked up and dropped off at the sitter's address then you would apply for accommodation busing to have the child picked up and dropped off at the grandparent or sitter's Burlington Township address.
 
Also, those students who will not be using the Township school buses and will be either walkers, transported by parents or will be bused by a Day Care, please click the Accommodation Busing link (above) to submit this information to transportation. This will assist the elementary school with ensuring the correct information is encoded on the student ID tags before mailing them out in August.
 
If you have any questions about Accommodation Busing, please call 387-3955 ext. 2077.
How to Update Your Falcon Flyer Subscription
Deadline for updates extended to Friday, August 18th.

I hope you are enjoying your summer.  This is the time of year when many students are moving on to a new school.  We want to be sure that you receive all of the relevant information for your child.  It is important that subscribers update their profiles and be sure that The Falcon Flyer continues to be able to communicate with all of our parents and community members. Each building is able to communicate with their parents with 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. The rollover for the new school year will be done soon.  

Please complete this task by Friday, August 18.

 

1. Click this link and type in your email address that receives the Falcon Flyer.

(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 FalconFlyer. 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 FalconFlyer.

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 me.  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. 

 

I would like to thank you personally for taking the time to update your profile. My goal is to ensure you have all of the information you need for the schools and community. 

If you have any questions or difficulty with this update, please contact me personally and I will assist you.
