Good Afternoon Newark Community:
In addition to the regular updates on Newark Public School initiatives, this week I am also providing you with an update from our partners at PSE&G regarding the recent power outages resulting from Saturday’s snow storm. Please feel free to share this information with your respective school community and constituent groups.
Lunch Application Update
Congratulations for a job well done and thank you for helping the district reach 91% of lunch applications processed as of October 21st. Three schools have reached 100% and many more are very close behind, with 32 schools having 95% or more of lunch applications completed.
A special thank you goes out to all the volunteers from the Coalition for Effective Newark Public Schools who helped assist schools in reaching out to parents and providing assistance.
We ask that our school communities please keep up the momentum as applications are accepted throughout the school year. Every application processed may assist a family in need of a free or reduced price lunch.
GradTracker
The Newark Public Schools want to empower students and families to track progress towards graduation. A GradTracker report will soon be provided to advise every current senior as well as any student who has been in high school for 4 years or more, of his/her progress towards graduation. Essentially, the GradTracker report is a representation of the courses needed to meet graduation requirements with indication of the students’ successful completion of those courses.
To ensure that we do not provide parents and students with inaccurate information, appropriate staff members in NPS high schools have been involved in a student-by-student review of the historical grades for each of these students to ensure that they receive proper credit for all successfully completed courses. In most cases, the staff involved in this review are the Vice-Principals in Charge of Scheduling (SVP); in schools that do not have an SVP, the principal is conducting this review.

Newark Teacher Innovation Fund
The Foundation for Newark’s Future (FNF) recently announced a $600,000 initiative to fund teacher-designed and driven programs that will begin in schools citywide this school year. The first round for applications will open on Tuesday, November 1 and close on Wednesday, November 30. The teams of at least 3-5 Newark classroom teachers can apply for up to $10,000 in grant funding to design and implement a new, innovative program in their school building. Programs should facilitate teacher collaboration and sharing of best practices, instructional strategies, curriculum, and data to consciously inform teacher practice and impact student growth.
NJ Devils Honor Roll Program
The New Jersey Devils Honor Roll program is a partnership between the Newark Public Schools and the New Jersey Devils. The program rewards our students for their academic achievements. This school year the New Jersey Devils will continue to support our learning communities and acknowledge students who make the honor roll by rewarding them with complementary tickets to a home game at the Prudential Center. Students in grades 3 to 12 are eligible based on the criteria listed in the attached letter.
Lastly, please know that five of our schools experienced power outages and were closed today as a result of Saturday’s snow storm. Those schools include: Ivy Hill, Lincoln, Park Elementary, Ridge Street, and St. Anthony’s in Belleville (for Wilson Avenue School’s 1st -3rd graders). We are happy to report that the power at Park Elementary and St. Anthony’s has been restored. We will continue to provide updates as we receive them. Information will also be shared via our Blackboard Connect phone messaging system and posted on our website.
Thank you for your continued support of the Newark Public Schools.
