Important Update for NJ Families! The State of New Jersey has passed new legislation to educate public school parents about Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and autoantibody screenings.
Early identification is key to reducing life-threatening complications, and now families have better access to critical information.
The Diabetes Foundation has created a flyer, vetted by the New Jersey Department of Health and the Governor’s office, which is now available on the New Jersey Department of Education website.
It covers:
✅ What T1D is and how it affects the body
✅ Risk factors and early symptoms
✅ Screening options, including free at-home kits
✅ Guidance for managing diabetes at school. Early awareness saves lives. Share the flyer with parents and caregivers—knowledge is the first step in protecting our children.


WHS will run as a regular scheduled day.


The EPIC Parenting Program will be held virtually on consecutive Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:00 PM. It will run for 10 weeks beginning on January 22, 2026.
Children’s Aid and Family Services is pleased to be able to offer this $300.00 per-person virtual program at no cost through funding made available for this purpose from Bergen County.
Please note the following:
If both parents in one home wish to attend, each must enroll separately and participate on different devices.
Parents may choose to attend some or all of the group meetings.
Participants must be visible on screen for the entire meeting and must refrain from multitasking.
Parents may wish to receive documentation from Children’s Aid and Family Services that they have met all group requirements and have successfully completed the EPIC program. To do so, parents must attend a minimum of seven full sessions, send weekly written feedback, complete a satisfaction survey, and write a short description of how they may have grown as parents as a result of their group participation. Perfect attendance at 10 meetings will be acknowledged on the Children’s Aid and Family Services document.
