URGENT: Flu Vaccine Documentation Due November 30

Dear Willingboro ECDC Families,

Please submit your child’s flu vaccine record or valid exemption letter to the school nurse before November 20, allowing time to process paperwork before the November 30 deadline.

We encourage you to take advantage of fall break to obtain the required documentation, as November’s school closures leave fewer days to submit paperwork. Submitting it early helps prevent interruptions to your child’s attendance.

Thank you for your prompt attention and partnership

Dear J.C. Stuart and Twin Hills Families,

We would like to share an important reminder regarding the current locations of J.C. Stuart Early Childhood Development Center and Twin Hills Elementary School.

During the 2025–2026 school year, both schools were temporarily relocated as important facility upgrades associated with the Bond Referendum were completed. Now that the major renovations have been completed, both J.C. Stuart and Twin Hills have returned to their original school buildings.

Please make note of the correct addresses for each school:

J.C. Stuart Early Childhood Development Center
70 Sunset Road
Willingboro, NJ 08046

Twin Hills Elementary School
110 Twin Hill Drive
Willingboro, NJ 08046

We are aware that some online maps, search engines, and navigation services may still display previous temporary locations or other incorrect address information for the schools. The District is actively working to have this information corrected.

In the meantime, we strongly encourage families to use each school's official website to confirm location details and access the most current school information:

J.C. Stuart ECDC:
https://www.willingboroschools.org/o/j-cresswell-stuart-ecdc

Twin Hills Elementary School:
https://www.willingboroschools.org/o/twin-hills-elementary-school

If you are using GPS or a navigation app, please carefully verify the school name and address before beginning your trip to ensure you are being directed to the correct location.

Additionally, the District has implemented new protocols to help ensure that students being transported by parents and guardians are dropped off at the correct school location. We ask all families to carefully confirm their destination, particularly while outdated information may continue to appear on some online platforms.

The safety of our students remains our top priority. We appreciate your attention to this important information, as well as your patience and partnership as we work to ensure that the correct locations for both schools are reflected across online maps and search services.

We are excited to have our J.C. Stuart and Twin Hills students and staff back in their respective school buildings and look forward to a safe and successful school year.

Warm regards,
Willingboro Township Public Schools
