Back to School, Kindergarten Registration, 'Godspell' at the Good Shepherd

Number one:

The Fort Lee Board of Education will hold a private work session from 6:30 to 9 p.m. in the board conference room at 255 Whiteman Street. That timing represents a time change in timing for the meeting. What’s not changing is the regular business meeting, which takes place at 8 p.m. in the library at School No. 1 at 250 Hoym St. Action is expected to be taken.

The BOE website continues to tout its efforts to go green and paperless, claiming they are  “moving away from paper agendas, agendas, which often run several hundred pages for each meeting, in favor of paperless meetings.”  Fort Lee residents planning to attend or who simply want to see the agenda should find it posted on the district website by noon of the meeting date.

Number two:

Kindergarten registration. All students who will be five years old on or before Oct. 31 are eligible to enter kindergarten in September. The registration process begins at the school in the zone in which parents reside between 9 and 11:30 a.m. on March 2, 3 and 4. Names and addresses will be recorded and registration packages distributed. Parents will also be given an appointment date in April on which to return all completed information to the central registration/attendance office.
