Welcome to the After School Page!
Dear Families,
Welcome to a new school year at PJS! During the hours after the school day is done, we are working hard to create a sense of community where the children have a chance to make friends, teach, and learn from peers of all ages. It is our goal to create a safe and nurturing environment where the children are encouraged to explore, play, and unwind, but where their day’s learning can also be reinforced through opportunities to tinker, create, and problem solve. This will be a time to support your child’s social development and foster relationships with both their peers and adults. Through a combination of both structured activity and free-play/explorations, your child will make many fond memories of this special time spent at PJS.
As the summer comes to a close, we are soaking up the last bits of sun and warm weather by spending lots of time enjoying the outdoors! The kids have enjoyed time on the playground, the labyrinth, and the sports court blowing bubbles and playing games of skills and imagination.
Below you will find information regarding our schedule and pick up protocol. Please check back for updates on projects and pictures of the kiddies at work and and play!

These sign-out sheets will be located on the white table by the front door. Please be sure your Emergency Contact form includes the names of all adults who are permitted to pick your child up from school. Upon arrival, please check the white board by the front doors for our location. We appreciate your being prompt at pick-up.
In case of emergency, parents should inform the After School Program of late pick-up by calling the after school phone line at 908-307-0695. There will be a fee for children picked-up anytime after 6:00pm. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our students safe.

Beautiful weather =s being outside!
With the weather being so nice, we are spending our time exploring and creating. Some activities include shucking corn and making tomato soup with a little sand thrown in for taste. Children enjoy a few minutes of play by pretending to take a bus to school. Stories with Mr. K. add to the fun.
