Children are not allowed to attend the Advantage Program if they are absent from school. In the event your child becomes ill during the Advantage Program, you will be contacted by the Advantage Program Director and he/she may be isolated until you are able to make arrangements for pickup. Please be sure we have up to date emergency contact numbers.

1. Call the Advantage Program Director at 908-832-5315 in advance and leave a message regarding their attendance or absence
2. Send a note to the School Office so the child’s teacher will be aware if they need to send the child home on a bus
