Click above to access the parent module. We are happy to announce the Parent Module for Genesis, the online student information system, is now available to all parents. This web-based system will enable you to access your student’s grades, attendance, and other important information from any computer with an Internet connection.
We believe that parent participation is key to student success; our new website is designed to provide parents with all the information they need to be active participants in their student’s education. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to improve our website.
Piscataway Middle School Athletics will also continue, but no live-stream will be offered. For safety reasons, no spectators will be admitted to any games or practices, at least during this remote period. Parents will be responsible for transportation to and from Piscataway facilities for athletics.
I would like to thank our students, parents, and community members for all of their support during this challenging school-year. With each of you, we have overcome every obstacle and have kept the safety of our students and staff as the number one priority.
Elementary School District 159 is in the process of migrating to a new student information system. The online registration system is a part of the migration process.
