What is the
difference between collaborative class and the other fourth grade classes? Are
all special ed. students assigned only to the collaborative class or they are
distributed equally to the other classes?
Collaborative classes are considered inclusion
classes. By that, I mean regular education students and special education
students are combined in one classroom (with the number of special education
students being much less than regular education). For this reason, collaborative
classrooms have two teachers, one regular education teacher and one special
education teacher. Most special education students are assigned to the
collaborative classrooms. However, there are some students receiving resource
room services (not in collaborative classrooms) for language arts or mathematics
who are pulled out of the regular classroom for these services. Also, there is a
group of special education students who are totally self-contained.

parent. You can also contact the cafeteria at 387-1322.

What information do I need to bring to the school to register my son for third
grade?
To register a student we need a copy of their shot record,
a copy of the birth certificate and a transfer card from their previous school.
If the school does not provide a transfer card we would need a copy of their
report card. We also need proof of residency (utility bill, deed, mortgage
papers, settlement papers, tax bill, licenses).
If they are living in an apartment we would need a form we
provide to them filled out by the landlord listing the people living in the
apartment. If they are living in the township with another person we have an
affidavit that states they are residing with another person ,they must get
that notarized before registering. We will also need proof of residency from the
person they are residing with.

The students schedules runs on a six day

at least once during the six day cycle, Art, Music, Computer Lab, Spanish,
Library & Gym. This affords each student the opportunity to attend these
classes at least once during the cycle.

Does the township provide
busing for your elementary school students?
Yes. Bussing is provided for all students.
Demerits may be assigned by any staff
member observing inappropriate behavior. Demerits may be received
for the following reasons:
* Hallway behavior - running,
shouting, roaming halls, disturbing other classes and/or offices.
* Fire drill behavior - running,
talking, pushing, out of line.
* Cafeteria behavior - disrespect to
school personnel, disobeying cafeteria rules.
* Playground behavior - disrespect to
school personnel, disobeying playground rules.
* Classroom behavior - disrespect to
school personnel, disobeying classroom rules.
* Other behavior considered inappropriate.
A child who receives a demerit is
assigned 1 discipline point. Discipline points are accumulated
over the course of the school year. Children that receive 12 or
more discipline points become ineligible for certain school events and
trips. However, students are able to "redeem" discipline
points by going one calendar month from the time of the last infraction
without being assigned any additional disciplinary points (demerits,
lunch detentions, after-school detentions, and in-school/out-of-school
detentions). With each month without additional points, a point is
redeemed.
We are moving
out of Burlington Township School district. What steps do I need
to take to remove my child from Fountain Woods School and register her

To transfer out a student
you must come into the main office and sign a release of records form. You
will need to provide the office with your
new address and the new school's name and address. You
will be given a copy of your child's birth certificate, test scores,
final report card and immunization records. You will also be given a
transfer card that proves your child has transferred out of Fountain
Woods School. This is all the information you will need to register
your child at the new school.
