trophtTeacher of the Year Nominations

The Monroe Township School District will be participating in the "Gloucester County Teacher Recognition Program".

This program is an integral part of Gloucester County's initiative to recognize our many fine teachers. By honoring teachers' achievments, this annual program aims to help increase the stature of teaching, attract talented people to teaching careers, and encourage experienced teachers to remain in the profession.

As part of this process, a teacher recognition selection panel, consisting of nine members, is established. This panel will consist of teachers, administrators, parents, and citizens of our town. By following specific guidelines, they will nominate one teacher from each school to receive the honor of "Teacher of the Year". The panel requests your input in assisting them with the selection of recipients.

H1N1 Influenza Update for
Gloucester County Residents

January 22nd, 2010

The Gloucester County Department of Health and Senior Services continues to offer the H1N1 (Swine) flu vaccine to any individual who wants it.  The NJ State Department of Health and Senior Services recently issued guidance that allowed NJ providers the option to administer H1N1 vaccine to the general public.  Clinics are scheduled through February. Both daytime and evening clinics are available.  Additionally, residents who were unable to receive their seasonal flu vaccine will be able to have their seasonal flu shot at any of these clinics.  The Centers for Disease Control has deemed the simultaneous vaccination with seasonal and H1N1 vaccine safe.  Click on this link for more information, http://www.cdc.gov/H1N1flu/vaccination/top10_faq.htm

The H1N1 vaccine is available to any person 6 months and older who wants to receive it.  The seasonal vaccine is available to Gloucester County residents over 6 months old only.
