**Please note that we will be conducting a screening of all registered incoming Kindergarten students at the end of May 2012. At that time, parents will also be invited to an informational session about our Kindergarten program and have the opportunity to meet various faculty members and administrators.
Bundle Up! As the temperatures get lower, please make sure that your child is wearing the appropriate outerwear. Students should wear a warm jacket, gloves, and a hat to protect them from the cold temperatures. Students should be prepared to go outside for recess unless it is raining or the temperatures are extreme.
Don't forget to look at the January Monthly Reminder found in the Virtual Backpack.
Happy New Year!

The schedule for these days will be as follows: click on the "More" link below or look in the Virtual Backpack to the right. | | More... | | Deane Porter holds its first SOUPER BOWL! | | Whether you’re a Patriots’ fan or a Giants’ fan, Super Bowl XLVI is sure to be a great game. In the spirit of being involved in nice deeds, the Deane-Porter School will be participating in, what I hope will be, its first annual SOUPERBOWL. It’s very simple….just bring in any item found on the link below (No Glass, Baby Food, or Formula, please) and place it near the team that you think will win Super Bowl XLVI. All items are due by Thursday, February 2. We will count the items and give a tally on Friday, February 3 at the end of the day. All items will be donated to the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties in Neptune. NJ. Thank you so much for your anticipated participation. | | More... | | Registration Packet for Deane Porter (pdf) | | | | More... | | Deane Porter is honored for its commitment to helping others | | Congratulations to Liz Waters and the Deane-Porter School.

Your generosity is definitely appreciated! | | | | Students Learn a Wonderful Lesson about Giving During the Holiday Season | | On Friday, December 16, Mrs. Waters, Mr. Panas, Mr. Karas and the Third Grade Helpers delivered “Giving Tree” gifts to the Monmouth Day Care Center in Red Bank. The “Giving Tree”, organized by Mrs. Liz Waters, collects new, unwrapped children’s gifts and non-perishable foods for less fortunate individuals. The school bus, that took the children and staff to the facility, was also packed full of goodies this year. Deane-Porter students took a tour of the day care and were treated to cookies.
