*BACK TO SCHOOL- Safety Message*
As we welcome students back to the Jeffrey Clark and Samuel Mickle Schools on Thursday, September 3, 2026, we're asking everyone to slow down, put the phone away, and give yourself a few extra minutes in the morning to share the road with our buses, walkers, and bike riders. A reminder for every driver: when a school bus shows flashing red lights and its stop arm, New Jersey law requires you to stop at least 25 feet away from either direction, and stay stopped until the lights go off. Our officers will be out in force during opening week with increased patrols around both schools and along bus routes, our School Resource Officers and crossing guards will be on post, and we'll continue using technology and resources to ensure school safety as our top priority. We hope you had a great summer, and we wish everyone at the Clark and Mickle schools a safe and successful school year!

TRAFFIC SAFETY ALERT: New 4-Way Stop at E. Wolfert Station Road & Union Road

Effective Friday, August 21, 2026, Gloucester County Highway converted the intersection of E. Wolfert Station Road and Union Road in the Mickleton section of East Greenwich Township from a two-way stop to a four-way stop. The overhead traffic signal that flashed yellow for through traffic for more than two decades now flashes red in all four directions.

If you drive this route regularly, please take note of the change and use caution. Motorists who previously had the right-of-way through this intersection must now come to a complete stop.
