Old Bridge Township Public Schools will be closed on Monday, September 25th in observance of Yom Kippur
Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! We are thrilled to have your children back. Our Old Bridge School District is committed to ensuring their safety, providing extraordinary learning opportunities, and fostering a sense of family within our district.
Please pay particular attention as I have some important information to share as we embark on this new academic journey.
First, due to extreme heat conditions, Old Bridge Schools will operate on an early dismissal schedule for students on Thursday, September 7, 2023. Families can find the early dismissal schedule on our district website. Please be advised the township aftercare program will operate immediately after our elementary schools dismiss at 1:15 pm.
Additionally, we kindly request your patience during the first few days of school. Both students and staff will be adjusting to newly assigned transportation routes. This usually causes some delays as new school age parents and guardians deliver and retrieve their child from the bus. Accuracy is paramount when placing children on their school buses, so we ask all parties to double-check assignments.
Lastly, please be mindful of ongoing road paving on Route 516 in the area of Route 9, as it may impact transportation times across the district. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter.
We are looking forward to an amazing school year filled with growth, learning, and memorable experiences. Thank you for entrusting us with your children’s education.
