• Learn the Mobile Device Policy for East Windsor Regional Schools Before the Bell Rings (tapinto.net) — East Windsor Regional families need to know that, starting this school year, student phones and other personal devices must stay powered off and put away from arrival until dismissal. The new "Off and Away" policy, required by state law, still lets students use devices before and after school, on buses, and at activities, with school offices handling daytime family communication needs.
   

• The Church of Ladder Day Saints Donates More Than $50,000 Worth of Food to The Rise Food Pantry (tapinto.net) — East Windsor officials are highlighting a more than $50,000 food donation from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Rise Food Pantry, which serves East Windsor and Hightstown families. The tractor-trailer delivery will help stock the pantry and kick off Thanksgiving collections, and residents can visit the Broad Street location during weekly daytime and evening hours for assistance or to support their neighbors.
