BOARD OF EDUCATION CALDWELL-WEST CALDWELL HARRISON SCHOOL BUILDING Gray Street, West Caldwell, New Jersey 07006 Dr. James G. Heinegg, Superintendent Telephone 973-228-6979 January 16, 2019 Dear Parents: From January 31 through February 12, the Caldwell-West Caldwell Public School District will conduct its annual Kindergarten registration. We ask that all children eligible for Kindergarten for the 2019-2020 school year be registered so that we may efficiently plan for our September classes. To be eligible for Kindergarten in September, 2019, a child must be five years old on or before October 1, 2019. To begin the registration process, please visit the district’s website at www.cwcboe.org To determine which elementary school your child will attend, click on the link “Elementary School Boundaries” on the district’s website. Please note that these boundaries are considered “soft,” as enrollment fluctuations sometimes require changes to student assignments. The district has contracted with the West Essex YMCA of Livingston to provide an after-care program, from 3:15 to 6:00 p.m., for their child’s Kindergarten school day. Before-care is also offered by the YMCA, based on enrollment at the particular school. The 2019-20 school year will be the beginning of Full-Day Kindergarten in Caldwell – West Caldwell. We anticipate that Washington School will have three sections of Kindergarten, and Jefferson, Lincoln, and Wilson will have two sections each. If there is a need for additional sections, they will most likely be held at Harrison School. Families with a student already in a K-5 building would receive preference of choice if there is such a need for additional sections. While the district’s plan is for students to attend a full day at one of the four K – 5 buildings, parents will also have the opportunity to express an interest in a half-day program and/or to attend Kindergarten at Harrison School. There is no guarantee, however, that the district will in fact be able to offer these options in September. The final decision will be based on the number of requests received, overall enrollment numbers, etc., and will be made as soon as possible. Please share this information with friends and neighbors who do not already have children in the school system. Also, do not hesitate to contact my office, at 973-228-6979, or any elementary school office, if you have questions concerning the Kindergarten registration procedures. Sincerely, James G.

Dear Parents:
From January 31 through February 12, the Caldwell-West Caldwell Public School District will conduct
its annual Kindergarten registration. We ask that all children eligible for Kindergarten for the 2019-2020
school year be registered so that we may efficiently plan for our September classes. To be eligible for
Kindergarten in September, 2019, a child must be five years old on or before October 1, 2019.
To begin the registration process, please visit the district’s website at www.cwcboe.org
To determine which elementary school your child will attend, click on the link “Elementary School
Boundaries” on the district’s website. Please note that these boundaries are considered “soft,” as
enrollment fluctuations sometimes require changes to student assignments.
The district has contracted with the West Essex YMCA of Livingston to provide an after-care program,
from 3:15 to 6:00 p.m., for their child’s Kindergarten school day. Before-care is also offered by the
YMCA, based on enrollment at the particular school.
The 2019-20 school year will be the beginning of Full-Day Kindergarten in Caldwell – West Caldwell.
We anticipate that Washington School will have three sections of Kindergarten, and Jefferson, Lincoln,
and Wilson will have two sections each. If there is a need for additional sections, they will most likely be
held at Harrison School. Families with a student already in a K-5 building would receive preference of
choice if there is such a need for additional sections.
While the district’s plan is for students to attend a full day at one of the four K – 5 buildings, parents will
also have the opportunity to express an interest in a half-day program and/or to attend Kindergarten at
Harrison School. There is no guarantee, however, that the district will in fact be able to offer these
options in September. The final decision will be based on the number of requests received, overall
enrollment numbers, etc., and will be made as soon as possible.
Please share this information with friends and neighbors who do not already have children in the school
system. Also, do not hesitate to contact my office, at 973-228-6979, or any elementary school office, if
you have questions concerning the Kindergarten registration procedures.

Media Consent Form - Caldwell-West Caldwell Public Schools
The Caldwell-West Caldwell Public School District is proud of the many successes that students and staff achieve every day within the District’s seven area schools, and regularly announces and publicizes achievements, activities, and events. Achievements, activities and events include, but are not limited to, academic presentations, art exhibits, athletic events, awards, community service activities, concerts, contests, district presentations, honors, honor roll(s), music, outstanding academic work, outstanding educational initiatives, plays, special programs, sports, and student(s) of the month.
At various points throughout the school year, or during summer programs, your child may be
photographed or videoed for publicity and/or announcement purposes. Achievements,
activities, and events are announced through area publicity and media outlets, as well as
presentation venues.
Publicity and media outlets include, but are not limited to, printed and/or on-line newspapers and/or
magazines, radio and/or television news sites and/or social media platforms, as well as the
Caldwell-West Caldwell Public Schools’ website, its social media platforms, and/or public
presentations or displays in buildings throughout the district and the greater community, such
as, but not limited to, your child’s school, other district buildings, government buildings and/or
area malls and/or universities.
Media Consent grants:
- Permission for a photo/image that includes student without any other personal identifiers to be published on the district and/or school’s web site and social media platforms, as well as sent in press releases to area media and publicity outlets and publications, and/or public presentation venues or displays.
- Permission for photo/image, name, and/or school, and/or grade to be published on the district and/or school’s web site and social media platforms, as well as sent in press releases to area media and publicity outlets and publications and/or public presentation venues or displays.
- Permission for student name, photo/image, and/or school, and/or grade, as well as images of student’s outstanding artwork and/or outstanding academic work to be published on the district and/or school’s web site and social media platforms, as well as sent in press releases to area media and publicity outlets and publications and/or public presentation venues or displays.
Pursuant to law, we will not release any personally identifiable information without prior written
consent from you as parent or guardian, unless as part of an athletic and/or academic team,
performing arts group, and/or other public performance-based activity, or as part of a large
group photograph submitted without names.
As you are aware, there are potential dangers associated with the posting of personally
identifiable information on a web site since global access to the Internet does not allow us to
control who may access such information. These dangers have always existed; however, we
as schools do want to celebrate your child and his/her work. The law requires that we ask for
your permission to use information about your child.
This Media Consent Form is to both inform you and to request Media Consent permission.
YES, I DO grant permission to acknowledge my child’s achievements, activities, and/or
event participation, through media, websites, publicity, presentations and/or within school
and/or district and community presentation
venues.
No, I DO NOT grant permission to acknowledge my child’s achievements, activities, and/or
event participation, through media, websites, publicity, presentations and/or within school
and/or district and community presentation venues. I understand that by checking this box
my child’s name and/or photo will not appear in any of the local or state newspapers, or
any other news outlet, for any reason, including honor roll, school events and
accomplishments, or other school-related news.

Caldwell-West Caldwell Public Schools
Google Apps for Education Permission Form
Dear Parents/Guardians,
The Caldwell/West Caldwell Public Schools utilize Google Apps for Education for students, teachers, and staff.
This permission form describes the tools and student responsibilities for using these services. As with any
educational endeavor, a strong partnership with families is essential to a successful experience.
The Google Apps for Education (GAFE) communication and collaboration apps include Google Classroom,
Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sites, and Slides. Additionally, a GAFE account unlocks access to dozens of other
collaborative tools supported by Google. All of these applications exist online, meaning that all apps and materials
can be accessed from any device with an Internet connection. These tools are available to each student and hosted
by Google as part of the Caldwell/West Caldwell Public Schools online presence in Google Apps for Education.
Using these tools, students collaboratively create, edit and share files and websites for school-related projects and
communicate with other students and teachers. These services are entirely online and available 24/7 from any
Internet-connected computer. Examples of student use include showcasing class projects, building an electronic
portfolio of school learning experiences, and working in small groups on presentations to share with others.
For more information about Caldwell/West Caldwell Public Schools Google Apps for Education implementation
please visit the District website https://www.cwcboe.org/googleapps.
All students will be assigned a [email protected]. This account will be considered the student's
official district login until such time as the student is no longer enrolled in the Caldwell/West Caldwell Public
Schools. The account will also be used to access the Chromebook labs at the elementary schools. Use of this
account will be Governed by the Board of Education Policy 2361 ACCEPTABLE USE OF COMPUTER
NETWORK/COMPUTERS AND RESOURCES.
By signing the permission form below, you confirm that you have read and understand the following:
Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and New Jersey state law, a student's education
records are protected from disclosure to third parties:
Google Apps for Education is governed by a detailed Privacy Policy, which ensures we will not
inappropriately share or use personal information placed in our systems. Google complies with applicable
US privacy law, and the Google Apps Terms of Service can specifically detail our obligations and
compliance with FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) regulations.1
Student's work products stored in Google Apps for Education may be accessible to someone other than your student
and the Caldwell/West Caldwell School District by virtue of this online environment. Currently, student work is
only visible by those within the Caldwell/West Caldwell domain, and only then by students choosing to share their
work publicly.

Each student in the Caldwell-West Caldwell Public Schools is provided with a network home share account for document and media storage and access to the internet. The Caldwell-West Caldwell Board of Education (“the district”) believes that the members of its educational community should be able to utilize learning resources to maximize achievement. Providing students with easy access to state of the art computer technology and opportunities for instruction will foster problem solving and critical thinking skills. The district believes that all students must develop expertise in using and applying current and emerging technologies to support lifelong learning. Educational technologies such as hardware, software, network communication, and information resources have potential to enhance the curriculum and provide opportunities for individual learners. The use of your account must be in support of education and research and consistent with the goals and objectives of the Caldwell-West Caldwell School District.
