Deerfield Township School District

What Deerfield Township School District does

Deerfield Township School District (DTS) is a public PreK-8 school district operating a single campus at 419 Morton Avenue in Rosenhayn, Cumberland County, New Jersey. It serves an estimated 300–400 students residing within Deerfield Township boundaries through full-day preschool (Connect4Learning curriculum), kindergarten, and grades 1–8. Core academic and student-life programs include a Gifted & Talented track, Child Study Team special education services delivered via shared-services agreement with Hopewell Township, and extracurricular offerings (Book Club, National Junior Honor Society, Drama, Safety Patrol, Student Council, Basketball, Field Hockey, Softball, Volleyball). Health, counseling, and safety services are in-house (school nurse, guidance counselor/Anti-Bullying Specialist) supplemented by the HIBster reporting platform.

The district's technology stack is entirely third-party K-12 SaaS: OnCourse Systems for student information, gradebook, and the OnCourse Connect parent portal (which also powers online registration); Finalsite for the public website; Nutrislice for cafeteria menus via Maschio's Food Services; Google Workspace for Education with a 1:1 Chromebook program; Frontline for absence management; Doculivery for payroll; Class Dojo for family engagement; Safe Schools for staff compliance training; and Spiceworks for internal IT ticketing. No proprietary software is developed in-house.

DTS is funded through a standard New Jersey public-school revenue mix: local property taxes, NJDOE state aid, and federal grants including Title I. There are no tuition or commercial revenue streams. Before- and after-school childcare is operated on-site by the Cumberland Cape Atlantic YMCA on a fee basis (retained by YMCA, not DTS). The district is governed by an elected Board of Education with Joseph Giambri Jr. serving as Business Administrator/Board Secretary and Ashleigh Udalovas as Interim Superintendent/Principal and District Anti-Bullying Coordinator. The operating model is residency-based enrollment — families register online through OnCourse Connect, and the district provides transportation. Distribution is exclusively direct, with no commercial channels.
