Our
Mission
The
mission of the Vineland Public Schools is based upon the
conviction that all students can learn. This is based upon their exposure to curriculum and instruction that addresses the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards (NJCCCS) at all grade levels. We recognize
that learning is the result of a strong partnership of parents,
teachers and the community, as students are challenged to
become active participants in the quest for excellence.
Our
goal is to ensure a safe, creative, stimulating and caring environment
which promotes self-esteem, sound character, responsibility and
respect for diversity. This will enable students to become knowledgeable,
skillful, life-long learners who are contributing citizens in
our changing society.
We
expect the best from our students and will give no less of ourselves.

Equal Opportunity/Non-Discrimination
The Vineland School District has adopted policies which guarantee that all students shall have equal educational opportunity regardless of race, color, creed, religion, sex, disability, national origin, social/economic status or sexual orientation and that all students are entitled to learn in an environment free from discrimination and harassment. Any student who alleges that there has been an incident of discrimination/harassment should report the allegation in writing to the Affirmative Action Officer/Title IX Coordinator: Dr. Keith C. Figgs, Assistant Superintendent, 625 Plum Street, Vineland, NJ 08360. The district policies are available online or at each school.
What Is Title IX?
Title IX was the first comprehensive federal law to prohibit sex discrimination against students and employees of educational institutions. The law requires educational institutions to maintain policies, practices and programs that do not discriminate against anyone based on sex. Under this law, males and females are expected to receive fair and equal treatment in all arenas of public schooling: recruitment, admissions, educational programs and activities, course offerings and access, counseling, financial aid, employment assistance, facilities and housing, health and insurance benefits, marital and parental status, scholarships, sexual harassment, and athletics. For additional information, contact: Dr. Keith Figgs, Title IX Coordinator, Vineland Public Schools, 625 Plum Street, Vineland, NJ 08360, Phone: (856)794-6700, Ext. 2008.
What is Section 504?
Section 504 is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. Section 504 ensures that the child with a disability has equal access to an education. The child may receive accommodations and modifications.
Unlike the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 does not require the school to provide an individualized educational program (IEP) that is designed to meet the child's unique needs and provides the child with educational benefit. Under Section 504, fewer procedural safeguards are available to children with disabilities and their parents than under IDEA. For additional information contact: Ms. Linda Santagata, Section 504 Compliance Officer, Vineland Public Schools, 625 Plum Street, Vineland, NJ 08360, Phone (856)794-6700, Ext. 2357.
