A GUIDEBOOK FOR FAMILIES AND STUDENTS APPLYING TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN NEWARK

LETTER FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT

Dear Newark Families,

I am excited to share the seventh year of the Newark Enrolls school guidebook with you. For each the schools, you will find a one-page profile that provides you with important information about the school in our unified enrollment system process. This year, we are excited to continue our partnership with SchoolMint, our online platform which has simplified the online application. While the overall process has remained the same, we have been able to take advantage of enhanced mobile features, an interactive school finder, and a streamlined online registration process. As our partnership with SchoolMint continues, we will introduce even more features.

This year’s guidebook includes:

• A full page of family-friendly information for every participating PK-12 school • Details about sports, clubs, community partnerships, and before and after school opportunities• Robust academic performance data (e.g.: NJSLA scores; high school graduation rates, etc.)

We hope that this guidebook will help you choose schools that will provide the best education possible for your children and set them on a path for success.

In addition, over the last few years we have collected feedback from families, students, educators, and community leaders about how to make the enrollment process better and ensure that it works for you. We have taken your feedback into consideration and have made on-going improvements in the following ways:

• Created a family-friendly online application• Improved sibling matching to ensure siblings are placed in the same school, whenever possible• Increased priority for geographic preference to ensure that all children (from within the neighborhood) have access to

neighborhood schools first, before students from outside the neighborhood

Families who are interested in participating in the enrollment process should visit www.newarkenrolls.org to:

• Attend the School Fair on November 13, 2021• Learn about school options through the new School Finder system• View a calendar of virtual open houses and enrollment events taking place at schools throughout the city• Submit an application for their children

Please remember that if you are happy with your child’s current school and their next grade and/or program is available at that school, you do not need to complete the application process. Your child will automatically continue their enrollment at their current school.

The application process dates are:

• November 13, 2021 - Application Window Opens at 3:00 pm• February 11, 2022 - Application Window Closes at 11:59 pm• February 18, & 25, 2022 - Admissions Test for NBOE 8th graders• February 19, & 26, 2022 - Admissions Test for Non-NBOE 8th graders

While we know that this has been a school year like no other, we thank you for your partnership, and look forward to supporting you and your children as you consider the incredible school options for the 2022-2023 school year.

Sincerely,

Roger LeónSuperintendentNewark Board of Education

GUIDEBOOK USE - CHOOSING A SCHOOL

Welcome to the Newark Enrolls Guidebook!

This guidebook is intendend to provide information to help you make a school choice for your child(ren) in the city of Newark through the Newark Enrolls Universal Enrollment application process. All families are given the opportunity to choose the right school for their child(ren) at almost every school in Newark.

How to begin choosing a school?

This guidebook is a great place to start! Consider some of these points:

What does your child enjoy most about school?

What experience do you want your child to have at school?

• Newark offers a variety of school options. This book is designed to give you an overview of the academic rigor and extracurricular opportunities that each school offers. Each school has a full-page profile filled with information.

• This book includes district public schools (operated by the Newark Board of Education) and many, but not all, charter schools (operated by independent organizations, yet adhering to the same educational requirements as district schools). Some charter schools do not participate in the Newark Enrolls Universal Enrollment application process, so they are not included in this book.

Does your child have any special considerations?• Find information regarding special education and physical

accessibility on page 108.• Find information regarding bilingual/ESL programs on page

114.• Find information on private pre-k providers along with NBOE

providers (both offer the same curriculum for pre-kindergarten children) start on page 17.

Practical information: Where is the school? How long is the commute? Are before-school or afterschool programs available?

Find all of that information on each school profile, on the top and on the right side of the page. Visit our School Finder at:www.newarkenrolls.org

Visit the school! A virtual school visit is always an option for you. Making a school choice can (and should) include more information than this book contains. Talking with staff and seeing the school virtually can be extremely informative, and is encouraged. Please call the school to schedule a virtual school visit. Phone numbers for schools are included on each school’s profile page in this guidebook.

Narrow down to a list of 8 top choices and submit an application via www.newarkenrolls.org In order to submit your application, for the 2022-23 school year,

verify this information:• Does the school participate in Newark Enrolls? (All NBOE

district schools and most charter schools do.) Non-participating charter schools will require separate applications. Please contact the school directly.

• The application window for next school year is November 13, 2021 - February 11, 2022 of the current school year.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEWARK ENROLLS PROCESS

Visit www.newarkenrolls.org for the most up to date information on the application, frequently asked questions, and matching policies.

1. Will my student receive their first choice?• The only reason a Newark student would not get into his or her first choice would be if the school does not have

enough seats for all applicants.• When a student does not receive his or her first choice, the matching process will move down the student’s list of

schools in order to place the student in his or her highest-ranked school with available seats.

2. How many families get into their top choice?• Last year, 92% of Kindergarten students were matched to their first choice of school.• Last year, 98% of Kindergarten students were matched to one of their top 3 choice of school.

3. Can my student be matched to a school that isn’t listed on his/her application?• In rare cases, if a student needs a new school and only lists one or two schools, the student may be matched to their

neighborhood school if the number of applicants exceeds the number of seats at their ranked schools.*• Applicants are never matched to a charter school unless they list it on their application.

4. I would like my children to attend the same school as their sibling. What should I do?• With the exception of magnets and some specialized schools, applicants who have a sibling currently attending the

school receives the highest priority at the school.• Siblings who are applying at the same time receive priority to be matched together. If one of the students is matched

to a school, his/her sibling(s) will be given preference to be matched to the same school.

5. How does the neighborhood preference work? • Seats in these schools are prioritized for siblings first. All remaining seats are prioritized for students who live within

the neighborhood.

6. How does the magnet and specialized schools matching process work? • District magnet and specialized schools have admission criteria. These schools rank all applicants using different

criteria including standardized test scores, grades, and attendance. Some may also require an audition or an interview.• All students can apply for admission into a magnet school.• Sibling priority does not apply to magnet schools.• Please review the magnet criteria information listed on the school’s information page and visit: www.newarkenrolls.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONIn accordance with New Jersey Bilingual Education Administration Code, the Newark Board of Education provides the following bilingual programs to English Language Learners with the goal of supporting linguistic and academic achievement in more than one language.

Types of Programs

Transitional Bilingual Education A transitional Bilingual Education Program provides instruction for English learners utilizing English and students’ native language for literacy and academic instruction, with the goals of language proficiency and academic achievement in English.

These programs are typically found in kindergarten through grade twelve.

Transitional Bilingual - Full Time

• Instruction in speaking, listening, reading, and writing in the native language of the English Language Learner in core subjects.

• Helps students achieve proficiency in English, as well as content knowledge to meet the New Jersey Student Learning Standards.

• At least 1 daily period of English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction.

Transitional Bilingual - Part Time

• A program alternative in which students are assigned to mainstream English program classes, but are scheduled daily for their developmental reading and mathematics instruction with a certified bilingual teacher.

• Students also receive at least 1 daily period of English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction.

English as a Second Language

• A daily developmental second-language program of at least one period of instruction that teaches comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing in English using second language teaching techniques, and incorporates the cultural aspects of the students’ experiences in their ESL instruction.

English as a Second Language, High Intensity

• A program alternative in which students receive two or more class periods a day of ESL instruction. One period is the standard ESL class, and the other period is a tutorial or ESL reading class.


IDENTIFICATION PROCESS FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERSIn order to properly identify and support English language learners, the New Jersey Department of Education has developed an identification process which all districts must follow.

All parents/guardians complete a Home Language Survey (also known as the HLS) located in the SchoolMint application. The HLS assists in identifying if a student is a potential English language learner. The HLS is reviewed by the school’s Bilingual Needs Assessment Teacher (BNAT).

Once a student is identified as a potential English Language Learner, the BNAT will conduct a review of the student’s records during the Records Review Process.

If the Records Review Process continues to note that the student is a potential English Language Learner, the student will be assessed using the WIDA Screener and/or WAPT(Kindergarten only). The WIDA Screener and/or WAPT specifically assesses students’ English language proficiency level.

Parents/guardians of students who are assessed using the WIDA Screener and/or WAPT will be notified of student scores, and eligibility for English language services by the school’s BNAT, will receive program information from the school’s BNAT and services will be offered.
