Important information for Trunk or Treat 2026

Please see below from Mr. Toddings: Fri, Oct 23, 2026 at 10:58 AM Dear Barnegat Families, Due to the expected duration of the community-wide power outage, the Barnegat Township School District will be implementing an early dismissal schedule today for all buildings, beginning with Barnegat High School at 11:05 a.m. All schools will follow their early dismissal times. ROBMS & RLHS - 11:45 CSCS - 12:25 JTDS - 1:05 LMDS - 1:35 For students attending Collins Elementary School and the ACES program, any student who is not met by a parent or guardian at their bus stop will be transported to Donahue Elementary School, which currently has power. Parents and guardians may pick up their children at Donahue Elementary School. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to work with the Barnegat Police Department and JCP&L to monitor the situation and ensure the safety of our students and staff. Thank you for your continued cooperation and support. Sincerely, Josh Toddings, Superintendent of Schools Barnegat Township School District
