New Student Registration

Please note:

As referenced in board policy 5111, ' The Board shall admit students eligible to attend school free of charge that are domiciled within the district as defined in N.J.A.C. 6A:22-3.1.'
You must be physically living in the home to be considered domiciled.  Purchasing a home without living in the home does not satisfy the criteria for being domiciled in the district.  If you have any questions call the Business Administrator at 201-768-6060 extension 53422.
