Hello DIS families!
As you may begin some spring cleaning or as your student is getting bigger in a blink of an eye, would you consider donating your child's old uniforms to our school? Our school nurse is requesting prek-2nd grade sizes. We are also in need of socks and underwear to have on hand for littles for when accidents happen. We would greatly appreciate it. Again, only sizes are needed for prek-2nd grade size-we are stocked on 3rd to 5th. Thank you!
Due to fog, Somerset County Public Schools will open 2 hours late today, Thursday, March 2, 2023. Essential & FNS staff and should report on time or when it is safe to do so. Please drive safely!
We're thrilled to announce the new app for Somerset
County Public Schools!
