1. Friday Folder: The Bernards Township School District has gone green: no paper flyers are sent home, instead everything comes through the electronic Friday Folder – an electronic mailing that goes out every Friday.  This folder includes all essential paperwork, so it is imperative that every parent register to receive the Friday Folder.  To register or for more information, click here. 
2. Ridge Bridge: This is the PTO newsletter, which comes out in the Friday Folder once a month.  It can also be found on the PTO website in the left hand column.

Market Day is a firm that helps schools raise funds for education. A portion of the schools sales go to the school.  They provide over 180 restaurant-quality foods designed to meet busy lifestyles at competitive prices. Products range from butcher shop meats and poultry to easy family meals, delicious appetizers and gourmet desserts.

The directory is put out by the PTO.  When you join the PTO and pay your membership dues, you will receive a directory at Back to School Night.

• For families who paid for their PTO membership but did not pick up their directory at Back to School Night, please send an email to rhsptocomm@yahoo.com. If you have not yet joined the PTO and would like to, forms are available: Look under Forms and Links on the PTO website.
