Placement
While Hanover Township Public Schools operates using a neighborhood school model, the District reserves the right to modify student attendance zones or make school placement adjustments based on space, enrollment, or other educational reasons.
Attendance Zones:
Bee Meadow School: East of I-287 and North of Eden Lane
Mountview Road School: West of I-287
Salem Drive School: East I-287, Eden Lane and South of Eden Lane
Soft-Bordered Zones:
Parsippany Road (between Whippany Road and Mt. Pleasant Ave.) and Eden Lane (between Whippany Road and Jefferson Road) are considered soft-bordered, meaning students residing on these streets may be assigned to either Bee Meadow School or Salem Drive School, depending on available space.
Part II: Visiting the School
Welcome Meeting at Your Child's Elementary School
Welcome Meeting at Your Child’s Elementary School
Once your child’s documentation has been verified and their school assignment determined, the elementary school will contact you to schedule an appointment for you and your child to meet with the Principal and select school staff. This will be an exciting day for you and your child!
This visit will give your family an opportunity to:
- Meet some of the educators and professionals who will support your child
- Learn about school routines, expectations, and ask questions
- Begin building a connection with your new school community as you join our Hanover Township family
