PickUp Patrol
The entire district will continue to utilize PickUp Patrol this school year! The goal of the program is to assist with our student attendance and reporting safety mechanisms, as well as make this process more convenient for parents to use through a user-friendly mobile app.
All LVMS families should log into their PickUp Patrol account to verify pick up / drop of plans. Any new families will receive an email directly from PickUp Patrol with account information. LVMS will utilize PickUp Patrol in the following ways:
Reporting Student Absence from school (sick, doctors appointment, etc.)
Reporting a student coming to school late
Requesting to pick up a student early from school
Giving permission for a student to walk home after school or NOT take the bus.
LVMS DOES NOT accept phone calls for absences / hand-signed parent notes or emails for early dismissal and walking. Parents/Guardians are expected to enter ALL attendance information exclusively on PickUp Patrol. All Pick up / Walker entrances MUST be submitted by 2:00 PM. Students will be dismissed via the bus if not submitted in PickUp Patrol.
Student Drop Off / Pick Up Procedures
It is preferred that LVMS students ride buses to/from school since our parking lot is not structured for parent drop-off or pick-up; our buses are the easiest way to ensure timely arrival and dismissal. Of course, we know this is occasionally necessary and information specific to those procedures will be coming to parents soon. Please note that, effective immediately, students will not be permitted to enter the building until 8:30am unless they are participating in a club/program meeting before school begins - the club/program advisor will arrange to meet the students at our main entry on club days and provide supervision before the school day begins.

Student Attendance Reminders
Washington Township BOE Policy 5200 has been updated to reflect the importance of student attendance. A student must be in attendance for 170 or more school days in order to be considered to have successfully completed the instructional program requirements of the grade/course to which the student is assigned. Prolonged or repeated absences, excused or unexcused, from school or from class, deprive the pupil of the classroom experience deemed essential to learning and may result in retention at grade level.
Included are the list of Excused / Unexcused Absences as outlined by District Policy 5200:
Excused Absence
1. Requirements of a student’s individual health care plan
2. A death in the student’s family
3. Quarantine or isolation as determined by school health personnel
4. Observance of the student’s religion on a day approved for that purpose by the New Jersey State Board of Education
5. Requirements of the student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP)
6. Participation in “Take your Child to Work Day”
7. The student’s required attendance in court
8. Interviews with an admissions officer of an educational institution.
Unexcused Absence
1. Family or Personal travel
2. Other daytime activities unrelated to the school program.
