Mount Laurel Schools

Opening Doors To Student Success

The Mount Laurel School District is located in Mount Laurel, Burlington County, New Jersey, USA. It is a suburban community with a population of just over 42,000 residents. Our eight school buildings serve to educate approximately 4,200 students in kindergarten through eighth-grade. A public school system, our district receives tremendous support from the Mount Laurel community. Here, education is a priority, and residents work hard to help maintain high standards of excellence in the education of their children. Our priority, as stated in our district Mission Statement, includes "educating students to read with comprehension, write clearly, compute accurately, think critically, reason, discover, innovate, collaborate, and use information to solve problems". In that way, we hope to prepare each student for success in the 21^st Century.

Dear Community Members, Parents, Business and Community Leaders, Students and Staff:

The Mount Laurel School District has launched "A Path to Success 2030", a strategic planning initiative that engages our community prior to the development of a new three-year strategic plan for our schools.

I would like to personally invite you to participate in our Strategic Planning Meetings. Your perspective would be a tremendous asset as the entire community comes together for these important discussions. Each of our sessions will focus on a specific theme designed to gather your input. All meetings will be held at the Mount Laurel Hartford School from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., as described below.

Please join those who have a vested interest in the success of the Mount Laurel School District as we begin this journey toward A Path to Success for all students.

Our meeting schedule is shown to the left. For your convenience, sign-up to attend through our online event service through the link to the left. You may attend all three meetings, or as many as your schedule will allow.

I look forward to sharing this Mount Laurel experience with you. Feel free to invite anyone you believe will bring meaningful dialogue to the discussion.

George J. Rafferty, Superintendent of Schools
