School Overview

The **Regional Day School**, located at 5 Jean Street in Morristown, New Jersey, is a specialized public educational facility that primarily serves students with significant developmental, cognitive, and multiple disabilities. Operated by the Morris County Educational Services Commission, the school is designed to provide highly structured, individualized instruction for students aged 3 to 21 who require a more intensive therapeutic and academic environment than what is typically available in a general education setting.

The school’s mission focuses on fostering independence and functional life skills through a multidisciplinary approach. Students at the Regional Day School benefit from small class sizes and a dedicated team of professionals, which often includes special education teachers, speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and behavioral specialists. By integrating academic curriculum with therapeutic support and community-based instruction, the school aims to help students achieve their personal best and prepare them for successful transitions into post-secondary life or community living.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).

Title I Program Overview: Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) allocates federal financial assistance to local educational agencies and public schools with high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all children meet challenging state academic standards.
