Purpose:

• The district has many partnerships. However, all of them come under the "umbrella" of the Education Foundation. This independent entity facilitates our technology and video teleconferencing projects. In addition, the Foundation administers our preschool program, community-wide health fair, and enrichment programs for both students and senior citizens. The Parent University is another initiative which provides workshops for parents in the evenings.
• The partnership is between the school district and the Totowa Education Foundation. The primary mission is to support enrichment programming both after school and on Saturdays. Another thrust of the partnership is to support technology upgrades for the district.
• To offer after school programs for students at no or minimum cost.
