Our athletic programs provide students enrolled in our schools educational opportunities which are physically wholesome, mentally stimulating and socially satisfying, integrating athletics with the total educational program. All students are encouraged to participate in sports instruction, activities and competitions. Athletics provide students an opportunity to learn and develop a myriad of interests and abilities, which will benefit them while in school and later as adults. Through learning the value of competition and using this highly emotional environment, students develop personal characteristics of emotional maturity, responsibility, leadership, being a team player, goal setting, cooperation valuing the necessity of rules and the appreciation of physical movement.

School personnel will supervise athletic events.  Students are expected to behave appropriately and obey the supervisors. Violation of behavior standards will result in expulsion from the event and possible expulsion from future after-school events.

Please note: transportation is the responsibility of parents for all sports.  Any student playing a sport must have a physical on file.

Questions: Call Pat Burke, Athletic Director, (973) 538-8493 or eMail at patburkehome@optonline.net
