We LOVE Netcong!

We know there is no better way to experience all the town has to offer than by 
walking and bicycling. 

Walk or bike to school on your own or meet us at the Netcong Train Station 
at 7:55 am to join our walking bus.

Students who walk or bike to school will receive a backpack charm. 
Join us in front of the school before the 8:15 am bell.  

Bikes can be locked to the racks located by the teacher parking lot or the back of the school. Ride your bike, wear a helmet, bring a lock and pick up a celebratory backpack charm.

What is the Walk and Roll Club?

On Walk and Roll Fridays, students and parents are encouraged to leave the car at home and take walk or ride a bike to school . . .

• for health
• for the environment
• for safer streets 
• for arriving awake and ready to learn

Attention parents and students, our crossing guards are there to help you. All students must cross the street at the crosswalk where there is a crossing guard on duty. Crossing between parked cars is dangerous, don't do it. 

Visit Walk and Roll Events for upcoming monthly events. 

November Walk and Roll

Due to ice, this month's Walk and Roll is cancelled. See you in March!


The leaves are falling, 

golden colors are on the ground,

Thanksgiving is around the corner, AND

pumpkin spice is in the air. 

It must be time for the 

Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice 
Walk and Roll to School Day!

Join us on

Friday November 16th 
and walk or bike to school instead of driving.

Walk or bike on your own 

or meet other parents and students at the 
Netcong Train Station at 7:55 am to join our walking bus. 

Students who walk or bike to school will receive a backpack charm. Join us in front of the school before the 8:15 am bell.  

Bikes can be locked to the racks located by the teacher parking lot or the back of the school. Ride your bike, wear a helmet, bring a lock and pick up a celebratory backpack charm.

Although this is our last Walk and Roll event until March, keep on walking and rolling throughout the winter. As the days get frosty remember a wise Norwegian saying, 

"There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing."

Don't forget to thank our crossing guards.

We are thankful for another Walk and Roll Club!

Happy Thanksgiving

October Walk and Roll Club

On some days do you feel sluggish? That your brain is not working? Do you feel like a fog takes over and you need a survival plan to get moving? Then YOU need to leave the car at home and JOIN our October Zombie Walk and Roll to School.

Join us on

Friday, October 19th

for our

ZOMBIE WALK

3 Ways Zombies and Netcong Students are alike:

1. They love BRAINS so they protect their head by wearing a helmet when they bike, skateboard, scooter, etc.

2. They never cross the street while using a phone. Zombies and Netcong students know that phones make you lose focus and are distracting and so they put them away (and tell their parents to do the same while driving).

3. They WALK everywhere because knowing how to safely walk places is important for survival. Have you ever seen zombie parents drive? Those parents are on their phones instead of paying attention to the road which reduces brain function by as much as a third.

Netcong Elementary students who walk or bike to school will receive a backpack charm. Charms will be handed out in front of the school by the flag pole before the 8:15 am bell. 

Students can walk from home or join our walking bus which leaves from the Netcong Train Station at 7:55 am. The walking bus is a great way to meet other parents and have students walk or bike together. It's also not just for walking. Ride your bike, wear a helmet, bring a lock and pick up a celebratory backpack charm when you get to school.

Once you get the hang of walking or bicycling, try it every day.

Tips for Unleashing the Safety Superhero Inside of You!

• Cross the street at the crosswalks where there is a crossing guard on duty.
• When crossing the street: Stop, Look Left-Right-Left Again and Over your Shoulder before crossing the street. Keep watching for turning vehicles as you cross.
• Do not cross the street between parked cars. 
• Parents, put your phone away when driving. Even hands-free is a dangerous distraction and puts our kids at risk. Don't do it!

Bike racks are located at the back of the school. Wear a helmet, bring a lock and come around to the front of the school to pick up a celebratory backpack charm.

Make every day Earth Day by walking and biking

Every step counts towards reducing negative impacts on our school's air quality.  When we drive we burn fossil fuels that releases gases and chemicals into the air causing air pollution. 

Air pollution from idling cars make asthma symptoms worse and trigger attacks. Studies show the air quality inside schools is worse at arrival and dismissal times.
