As a community of learners, PTF has created a document of helpful resources for parents. These resources (book titles, websites, audio books, etc.) have been suggested by our own faculty, staff, and parents. Many are also available at the school to check out.

What Are School Hours?
8:10am-3:05pm. Doors open at 7:30am.
Parents may pick up students before 3:15pm. A late fee is applied if parents pick up their student(s) after 3:15pm (LS parents only). After 3:15pm, students are sent to after-school programs.

Do You Offer School Transportation?
Wilberforce does not offer transportation, but actively supports carpooling by connecting parents in similar zip codes to arrange carpool. (Please refer to the Student Handbook.)

Do You Offer Any After-Care?
Wilberforce offers Homework Club and Study Hall, from 3:15-4:30pm, with extended care from 4:30-6:00pm. The Explorers Bridge Program is open to Explorers 1 & 2 students. (Please refer to the Student Handbook.)

How Are Parents Notified of School Delays & Closures?
We notify parents in four ways: cell phone call, text message, email, and pop-up notifications on our website. Please ensure that we have your accurate contact information on ParentsWeb.

What Is Your Cell Phone Policy?
We have a no-cell-phone policy during school hours. To contact your student during the day, please call or email the Front Desk. (Please refer to the student handbook.)

When Do I Keep My Student Home From School?
Students are expected to come to school healthy, well rested, and ready for class. To avoid infecting others, students should not be in school until they are symptom-free. If your student is staying home from school due to illness, please notify the school by calling or emailing the front desk. (Please refer to the student handbook for a list of symptoms.)

How Does the School Handle Nut Allergies?
We are committed to building a safe environment for all students, particularly for those who have peanut and nut allergies. While we are not a nut-free school, we implement a series of procedures to reduce unnecessary risks. (Please refer to the Peanut and Nut Allergy Safety document in ParentsWeb.)

What Is Your Admissions Process?
Please refer to our Admissions FAQs page.

Generally, we follow the closings and delayed openings announced by the West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional school district (WW-P). If the district schools are closed or delayed, Wilberforce will most likely be as well. WW-P posts information on their website (ww-p.org) and on their main district phone number (609-716-5000).

Whether we follow WW-P’s decision or make ours independently, we will communicate to families directly. In the event of a school closing or delayed opening, we will announce a decision by 6am. For an early closing, we will announce a decision by 10:30am.

We notify parents in four ways:
·Live call (on cells only) through Parent Alert system
·Text message (from #22383) through Parent Alert system
·Email
·Pop-up notification on our website

The effectiveness of this system relies on the accuracy of the phone numbers and emails you have provided. To verify or change contact information, visit ParentsWeb. Instructions for how to make changes is under "Announcements."

What happens when there is a 90-minute delayed opening?
·Doors open at 9:25am
·Classes officially begin at 9:40am
·Regular dismissals at 12:30 and 3:05
·After school clubs and sports will meet
