Jefferson Township High School Unified Track Meet

The Jefferson Township Board of Education has received a significant boost in funding, exceeding $2.7 million through the New Jersey Department of Education's Preschool Expansion Aid (PEA) program. This additional support will enable the district to establish nine new high-quality preschool classrooms, providing more families with access to full-day public pre-K education.

The expanded preschool program aims to cater to even more families in Jefferson Township, offering a valuable opportunity for young children to develop essential skills and prepare them for future academic success. Parents residing in Lake Hopatcong or Oak Ridge can find more information about this exciting initiative on the Preschool website.

For those interested in enrolling their child in the program, it's essential to note that any available spots will be filled through a lottery system due to the limited number of seats available. Currently enrolled students are guaranteed a spot for next year, while non-enrolled children who meet the eligibility criteria will be entered into the lottery.

To ensure your child's participation in the full-day program, five days a week, please complete the application by May 15, 2023. This remarkable funding allows our district to increase the number of students in a full-day preschool program at no additional cost to parents.

Eligibility for the program is based on age and residency criteria: children who are three or four years old before October and reside within Jefferson Township are eligible to participate. With this expanded preschool service, the Jefferson Township Board of Education continues its commitment to providing quality education and ensuring a strong foundation for future academic success.

For any questions or concerns regarding the program or timelines, please contact the principal of your child's school: Ellen T. at .
