Main Office

The main office at Borough School prides itself on superior customer service to all shareholders of the greater school community. Here are some important reminders for our parents, students, and visitors:

Absences / Anticipated Tardies/Student Welfare Check Policy

Please remember that it is mandatory to inform the school each day that your child may be absent or tardy. Parents may leave messages in the general attendance mailbox at any time to report student absences or tardiness. A student welfare check will be performed by the Morris Plains Police Department for any student not accounted for.

Getting Messages to Students During the School Day

In order to maintain an orderly, safe, and productive school environment, the office staff will strive to minimize classroom interruptions. PA announcements are only made two times per day: during morning and afternoon homeroom.

• Students are permitted to use the office telephone only in the event of an emergency (forgetting homework does not constitute an emergency).

• Students are responsible for checking in at the office to collect ‘dropped off’ items.

• Classrooms will not be interrupted to summons individual students to the office to collect items ‘forgotten’ at home and delivered to school.

• Students are not permitted to use their cell phones to call/text parents during school hours.

• Parents should refrain from texting/calling students on their cell phones during the school day.

School Security

All visitors to the school are required to enter through our security vestibule in the main office to sign in and create a visitor badge each and every time they enter the building regardless of the purpose of their visit. Please remember that for the safety of all in the building, we cannot make exceptions to this policy.
