Welcome<br />

Welcome to the <strong>Boonton</strong> <strong>Township</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>District</strong>! The <strong>District</strong> consists of one elementary/middle school<br />

educating approximately 500 students. Another 264 students attend Mountain Lakes High <strong>School</strong> on a<br />

tuition sending-receiving basis.<br />

Rockaway Valley <strong>School</strong> (RVS) operates a Pre-Kindergarten to 8th grade program that combines modern<br />

teaching strategies and techniques with manageable class sizes to produce a very unique educational<br />

environment. We pride ourselves on being large enough to offer a wide variety of special programs, yet<br />

small enough to offer individualized attention.<br />

As you look through this handbook, you will read about the variety of programs and services offered at<br />

RVS. In addition to the core curriculum programs, RVS offers a creative arts program, vocal and<br />

instrumental music programs, health and physical education, foreign language, computer literacy and an<br />

interscholastic athletic program as well. Please share this valuable information with your child. If you<br />

have any questions, feel free to contact the school at 973.334.4162, extension 369. We hope you find<br />

this handbook helpful and we wish you and your child an enjoyable and productive school year.<br />

<strong>District</strong> Mission<br />
