Bulldog Care, the Rutherford Schools District’s before and after school program, is offered to meet the needs of parents who need childcare outside of school hours. Registration for the 2024-2025 Bulldog Care Program will open on Saturday, June 1st at 9 am. If you are interested in learning more about the program prior to registration, additional information is on the website.
Following online registration, a nonrefundable $50 registration fee must be paid via the *red drop box at Borough Hall. This payment option is only available to INCOMING KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS as they are not yet enrolled in our online payment system. All payments going forward and for students enrolled and entering grades 1+ will be done using the PaySchools system.
*The red drop box is located on the Donaldson Avenue side of Rutherford Borough Hall, 176 Park Avenue. Please make sure to place your check in an envelope, labeled Rutherford Board of Education/Bulldog Care on the outside. Inside the envelope be sure you include your child’s name, school, and what grade they are entering on the memo. (Checks will only be accepted from new families who are NOT yet able to register via the PaySchools system.)
