Kindergarten registration begins The Glen Rock School District will hold its kindergarten registration for September 2013 at the Glen Rock Public Library, 315 Rock Road, on March 5 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on March 6 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. The school district encourages families to take this opportunity to secure library cards for their children. Official registration packets, including residency and age requirements, health forms, and additional information, should be downloaded from www.glenrocknj.org using the Parents/Students tab to reach the Registration Information link. Additional information is available by contacting any of the elementary schools at (201) 445-7700. For the convenience of all families, no appointments are necessary. All registrations will be treated equally, with no “first come, first served” preference given. A child’s school placement is determined through a process that seeks to balance enrollment figures among the four elementary schools, taking into consideration the presence of siblings. Families will be notified of their child’s assignment by June 1. Kindergarten registration is open to all resident children who will turn five years of age on or before Oct. 1, 2013. School administrators and nursing personnel will be on hand to answer questions. Parents are asked to complete all forms prior to registration and to bring appropriate original proofs of residency and birth date to expedite the process. Two proofs of residency must be presented, including either a deed or rental agreement, along with a driver’s license, utility bill, or tax bill. Proof of the child’s identity and age may include an original birth certificate, baptismal certificate, or passport. Kindergarten orientation meetings will be scheduled before the opening of school. Updated information will be posted on the district website. Interested families will also be able to register for the Glen Rock Community School’s Kindergarten Plus enrichment program at the same time. Registration for all children entering the district in September 2013 will be held May 20 at the Glen Rock Public Library from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Leibow exhibits at library Bob Leibow’s sculptures are now on display at the Glen Rock Library, where they will remain throughout the month of February. Leibow’s work is predominately made up of driftwood, found objects, and broken ceramics. To view the exhibit, visit the library at 315 Rock Road during regular business hours.

Many of them do not have the financial or emotional support to help them get through a major illness like cancer. We do not charge anything for our services. We rely on you! You can help us in a variety of ways. Turn your event into a fundraiser, and collect checks or gift cards for our families. Your efforts help us to help families in many ways, including sending a case worker to visit the families at their home or in the hospital. This support for the kids, their siblings, and parents is crucial. Get your kids involved, too. Some have held sales or events and donated the proceeds to ECF. Is your Cub Scout or Girl Scout Troop looking to earn badges? Call us for some ideas to get creative and have fun while learning about philanthropy! Consider becoming a volunteer, or just stop by and meet with us, take a look at our pantry, and see what ECF is all about. Call (201) 612-8118 before you stop by. Please do not leave items at the center without checking with us first. Our storage space is limited. The Northern Regional Center is located at 174 Paterson Avenue in Midland Park. Visit us on the web at www.emmanuelcancer.org. As always, thank you for helping the children and their families!
