WelcoMe To Our Website Welcome to the Mount Laurel Township School District website. It is
our hope that whether you are looking at our schools for the first time
or are a routine visitor, you will find the information you seek on these
pages. If not, please don't hesitate to let us know! Last Day of School Changed Due To Closure The last day of school for students has been shifted to June 20 instead of June 19, given the closing of schools on February 22 due to a winter storm. Snow days are made up at the end of the year according to a schedule approved by the board. See the note on the bottom left of this school calendar to see where future alterations might be made if there are additional school closings this year. Board and Voters Approve Annual School Budget for 2008-2009 Members of the Board of Education and Mount Laurel's taxpayers have approved the proposed budget for 2008-2009. Click here to view Dr. Rath's formal budget presentation to the board, and to read her comments on the proposal. Here's a fact sheet summary of the proposed budget. This year, the New Jersey Department of Education has provided districts with a "user-friendly" formatted budget. You'll find that entire budget here. Help Wanted: Volunteers to Mentor Students in T.I.M.E. Program Many people are not aware that there are hundreds of volunteers helping in our schools each day. Since 1990, some of the most valuable direct assistance has come from Project T.I.M.E. (Teach, Inspire, Mentor, Empower) volunteers. The program begun by Reverend Terrell Person matches adults with students for one hour of special time each week. Right now, 30 students are awaiting mentors in our schools, and your help is needed. If you have an hour a week to spare by having lunch and chatting, reading together, shooting some hoops or just listening, we need you! New Lunchbox System Phased-In At All Schools A new computerized cafeteria system is being phased-in at all Mount Laurel Schools. It is anticipated that all schools will be online by the end of March. The good news for parents is that they may now place funds on deposit in any amount (as opposed to paying by the lunch). Students may select the lunch and ala carte items, and their choices will automatically be deducted from their personal account using a personalized pin number at the cash rergister in the lunch line. Once all schools are online, parents may monitor the account (and what is being purchased) through our PowerSchool system. Visit Our School News and FAQ Pages Visit our School News page.

Attend Board of Education Meetings To Learn More The Mount Laurel Board of Education meets twice monthly, as a rule. The first meeting of the month is a work session where matters are discussed, but action is generally not taken. The regular meeting follows a week later, as a rule, and it is at this meeting that the board votes on agenda items. Both the work session and regular meetings offer time for public comment. Marking Period Dates for the 2007-2008 Year: 1st Marking Period starts on September 5 and ends November 2
