Registration Updates
You may recall at the start of this school year there was a new registration process initiated for the new and returning students of Beecher Road School. Once again this summer you will be asked to update all demographic information via the Parent Portal.
Food Service Information
We would just like to thank everyone who has participated in the school lunch program.
It is that time of the year when we would like you to look at your children's accounts to make sure they are current. It is also the time of the year when our 6th graders are moving on. Just a reminder when the 6th grade move up to Amity it is a different District and their monies do not roll over. If you have a balance and there are siblings in the school we can move their money over to one of them. If your child is leaving and has no siblings you will need to request a check from the café please email Jane Roddy at jroddy@woodbridgeps.org
Once again THANK YOU for your participation and making our lunch program a success.
In order to remain in compliance with federal and state guidelines, the price for a regular lunch will increase to $3.00, effective the 2019-2020 school year.
Remember all information will be accessible through the Parent Portal.
