Mount Laurel Schools

"The speed of communications is wondrous to behold. It is also true that speed can multiply the distribution of information that we know to be untrue."
Edward R. Murrow

We are proud to welcome you to the Mount Laurel Township Schools' website. As a district, we have long recognized the World Wide Web as a valuable communications tool. In fact, our first site appeared in 1991, before commercialization of the medium began. A website's worth, however, is only as valuable as the information it shares.

Mount Laurel's Board of Education and Administration have established policies and procedures that dictate transparency in all aspects of our operation. You will find board of education meeting agendas, exhibits and minutes posted here each month. Our annual district budget, guides to the curriculum used in our programs and our complete district policy manual are also posted.

But, as Edward R. Murrow noted long before the advent of the Internet, misinformation often travels swiftly. We hope that our website opens the door to conversation with those who use it. If ever you come to this site to confirm information you have heard and are unable to find that validation, please use this link to contact us and pose the question directly. As partners in the education of the children of Mount Laurel, it is incumbent upon each of us to make intelligent use of the tools we have at our disposal.

Kindergarten/First-Grade Roundup for the 2014-15 school year will be conducted the week of March 10 to March 14, 2014. Families with children entering Kindergarten in September of 2014 are encouraged to register during Roundup to take full advantage of orientation services. Any student who is currently attending a private kindergarten but will be coming to our first-grade classes in September should also be registered during this special week. Full Roundup details found here.

Mount Laurel Township School District is considering offering an Extended Kindergarten Option for the 2014-2015 School Year through our Community Education/Extended Day Care Program. This self-supporting program would be tuition-based and would be housed at each of our six elementary schools in the hours before and after our kindergarten sessions. 

Here is more information and the application.

We see it every day - the student who is consistently kind. Another who steps in when insults are hurled to stop potential hurt. That staff member who is always the first to volunteer or has an idea what can be done collectively to help the plight of another. They're Upstanders, and we have plenty of them. Now, a new program in our schools will honor our Upstanders. Find more information on our Upstander Campaign page.

The New Jersey Department of Education has released the 2012-2013 School Performance Report for each of our schools. These reports share important information about how our students are doing in terms of academic achievement, career readiness and student growth. A review of the report will share demographic data, test scores and proficiency trends. You can find the report for each of our schools on our school home web pages.
