Greetings Edgewater School Community,
There are two federal programs available to help families with the cost of phone and internet services: Lifeline and the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which also includes the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program.
Lifeline is a federal program designed to make phone and internet service more affordable for low-income households.
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) helps eligible households pay for internet service and connected devices such as laptops or tablets.
While eligibility criteria for each program vary slightly, families who qualify for Lifeline are also eligible for the Affordable Connectivity Program. To apply for one or both programs, you will need documentation such as proof of income (e.g., pay stubs) or proof of enrollment in a qualifying federal assistance program.
Once eligibility is confirmed, families can connect with a participating service provider to begin receiving benefits.
For more information and to explore application options, please visit:

October is recognized as National Principals Month, a time to honor and celebrate the dedicated leaders who guide our schools each day. We are proud to recognize Mr. McCormick, Principal of George Washington School, and Mr. Frega, Principal of Eleanor Van Gelder School, for their outstanding leadership, commitment, and care for our students, staff, and families.
Our principals play a vital role in fostering a positive school culture, supporting academic excellence, and ensuring that every child has the opportunity to succeed. Their dedication, vision, and countless hours of hard work make a lasting impact on the lives of our students and the Edgewater community.
Please join us in expressing our gratitude to Mr. McCormick and Mr. Frega. We are fortunate to have such exceptional leaders guiding our schools.

Next week, beginning on Monday, October 6, our schools will join districts across New Jersey in observing the Week of Respect. This important initiative provides us with an opportunity to highlight the values of kindness, empathy, and respect that form the foundation of our school community.
Throughout the week, students and staff will participate in a variety of activities, lessons, and discussions focused on building positive relationships, embracing diversity, and creating a safe and supportive learning environment for all. Our goal is to ensure that every student feels valued, included, and respected each day they come to school.
We encourage families to extend these conversations at home by talking with your children about the meaning of respect, how we can show it in our daily actions, and why it is essential for a healthy community.
Thank you for your partnership in reinforcing these important values both at school and at home. Together, we can continue to nurture a culture of respect in Edgewater.
Warm regards,
Billy Cunningham
Superintendent of Schools

Each year from September 15 to October 15, we join schools and communities across the country in celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month. This month provides us with a meaningful opportunity to honor the histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans who have enriched our nation and our community in countless ways.
In our schools, we are committed to creating learning experiences that highlight the voices, traditions, and achievements of Hispanic and Latino leaders past and present. Our classrooms will engage in activities and discussions that celebrate diversity and deepen understanding, while also encouraging students to appreciate the strength that comes from our differences.
We invite families to join us in this celebration by talking with your children about the importance of heritage and culture. Together, we can foster a school community where every student feels seen, valued, and inspired.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
With appreciation,
Billy Cunningham
