We at Petway are building tomorrow...One student at a Time! If you are having problems logging in to the system, please contact mdiaz2@vineland.org           Welcome to the web site of Petway Elementary School in Vineland, New Jersey!  Our beautiful new school opened its doors to meet and greet the wonderful Petway Patriots on September 11, 2006.  Our sparkling new facility holds four classrooms of each grade from Kindergarten through Grade 5.  In addition, we have three self-contained Special Education classes.         Our curriculum consists of heavy emphasis on Literature-based Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. At the same time, we include a focus on Health and Physical Education, Art, Music, Library, Skills for Growing, World Language, and Computer Literacy.  In addition to our rigorous academic program, our staff is actively involved in a “team approach” to encourage excellent behavior, manners and character skills in our “Petway Patriots”.        Many support services are provided for our children.  We are proud of the extensive additional programs offered to help children in need such as: Elementary Guidance, Substance-Abuse Counseling, Crisis Team, Peer Mediation, Intervention & Referral Service, Child Study Team Services, and Speech Therapy.       Petway teachers and staff believe in "Children first". We acknowledge the individual differences in our children and work hard to deliver the best foundation education for all of our students.       Petway's Patriot Pledge We, the students, staff and parents of Petway Elementary School, will work together to create a safe, caring and positive community. We will be respectful and truthful, solving all problems in a cooperative way so we can learn and grow together.
