SLACKWOOD IS A STATE SCHOOL OF CHARACTER! - The New Jersey Alliance for Social, Emotional and Character Development has selected the Slackwood Elementary School as a 2012 New Jersey School of Character. This is an amazing honor that should make everyone in the Slackwood Community very proud.

Playground use after school – The playground is a fun and exciting place for students, especially when there is no teacher monitoring their activity. We welcome students to use the playground after school hours as long as they are monitored by an adult. Parents must supervise their children during afterschool hours as we have many afterschool programs also using the playground. Parents sitting in their cars will be asked to get out of the car to watch their children. If your child is acting in a dangerous fashion, they will be asked to leave.

Don’t be late – School begins at 8 AM daily. Teachers gather their students at 7:55. Any student who enters the building after 8 AM is late. If your child comes after 8 AM, you must escort him/her to the office to get a late pass. It is not good to be late. Try to be on time for school. Thank you for your consideration.
