Please take a moment to review our safety protocols for all sporting events this season. Your cooperation helps keep our athletes, fans, and community safe.
We’ve made some changes at Cedar Mountain to improve traffic flow and safety. Please take a moment to review. Thank you for your cooperation!
Yesterday Omegaman visited Cedar Mountain with a special message. The Omegaman & Friends Assembly is a superhero-themed presentation designed to inspire students to BE A H.E.R.O. The program reinforces important life skills by promoting bullying prevention, encouraging positive decision-making, fostering respect for authority, discouraging violence, and motivating students to build self-esteem and strive for academic excellence
As a school community, we pause in remembrance and reflection to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the heroes who responded. We will never forget. #VTSD Remembers

The 2025-2026 Free and Reduced Lunch (FRL) and Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) Application is now available! The criteria for determining eligibility for FRL and Summer EBT was expanded last school year by the State of New Jersey. Completing the FRL and Summer EBT application benefits students and the District as a whole. If determined eligible, children receive meals at no cost during the school year and, through the Summer EBT program, families receive financial assistance for purchasing food during the summer months when school meals are unavailable.
Beyond meal benefits, these applications can provide additional resources to families and provide the District with additional State and Federal funding. We encourage all families to apply, even if you’re unsure of your eligibility. The expansion of FRL and EBT eligibility criteria by the State means that families who were not eligible in prior years may now be eligible in 2025-2026. The process is simple and confidential, and the potential benefits are substantial.
The application can be accessed online through the following link: https://www.vtsd.com/o/vtsd/page/food-service-information. If you have any questions, need assistance with the application process, or need to access a paper application, please email FRL@VTSD.COM.
