It includes vital district and school information that can be referenced throughout the year, including contact information, and details about technology, pupil services, Board of Education, wellness and mental health, and more. It also includes a full wall calendar for the school year, filled in with the district schedule and schools events.

The School Guide & Calendar is a joint effort of the Superintendent’s Office and the Office of Community Education. It is printed and mailed through a grant from the Office of Community Education and uses no taxpayer funds.

Video Series – Award of Merit: The district’s “Building for the Future” video series was created to highlight renovations and modernization throughout the district that were completed without incurring any bonded debt for the district. It offers a glimpse inside the buildings for staff members and families, as well as community members who don't normally get to see them. The videos focused on technology upgrades for elementary, intermediate, and middle schools; cafeteria and kitchen upgrades throughout the district; and extensive renovations to Piscataway High School.

The videos were created by Public Information Officer Gary Miller under the leadership of Business Administrator David Oliveira.

Photography – Honorable Mention: The honored photo showed the Piscataway High School girls wrestling team celebrating as they captured their first dual-meet win in history. Though individual girl wrestlers have had success for Piscataway, this is the first year the team has held full team dual-matches separate from the boys team. The team got its first ever team win on Jan. 16 over St. Thomas Aquinas. The photo shows girls on the sideline cheering as a teammate scored a decisive win.

The photo was taken by Public Information Officer Gary Miller.
