We are a Catholic School established in 1850, staffed by the Sisters of Charity of St. Elizabeth and a certified lay faculty. Assumption School is the second oldest Catholic School in the Paterson Diocese.
At Assumption School, we strive to bring to our students the knowledge that they are individually gifted by God and that it is incumbent upon them to realize these gifts. Through nurturing by the administration, faculty, clergy and family, each child is encouraged to achieve the optimum of his/her potential.
We are aware of the changing world in which our children will journey. In light of this, we continually evaluate our curriculum to meet the demands of the future. In so doing, we endeavor to help our students face the academic challenges which will be placed upon them in their travels.

SCHOOL NURSE'S OFFICE:
Every student must have an annual physical from your physician on file in our office. Please print out the form from our website and have your physician fill it out at the time of your visit. We recommend you keep a copy of the physical on file at home.
Athletics: In order to participate in a sport, your child's physical has to have been completed within 365 days of the first practice or tryout. Be sure that your doctor clears your child for participation. Students will not be allowed to try out or attend any practice for any sport if this is not completed. The following are the due dates for your child's physical form for each athletic activity offered by the school: Soccer, Volleyball, and Cross Country - 8/27/10; Basketball and Cheerleading - 10/18/10; Baseball and Softball - 3/1/11; Track & Field, Lacrosse Clinic and Tennis Clinic - 4/1/11.
Medication: No OTC or prescription medication (including eye drops, antacids, creams, sprays or cough drops) will be administered by the nurse unless it is in its original package and is accompanied by a written order from a physician. Do not send medication in to the nurse without a permission slip from a doctor. Children with allergies or asthma will need to have the necessary emergency medications at school. Please fill out the necesary forms to be signed by a physician for these medications, i.e., Benadryl, Epi-pens and inhalers. All of our medication forms are available online.
