WWW.NEWARKENROLLS.ORG LETTER FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
Dear Newark Families,
I am excited to share the fifth year of our improved Newark Enrolls school guidebook with you. For each of the 70+ schools that participate in Newark Enrolls, 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 introduce our partnership with SchoolMint, our new online platform that will simplify the online application. Overall, the process will remain the same, the only difference families will experience is improvements such as mobile features, an interactive school finder, and a streamlined registration process. As our partnership with SchoolMint continues, we will be introducing additional 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 • More robust academic performance data (e.g.: NJSLA scores; high school graduation rates)
We hope that this guidebook will help you choose schools that will provide the best education possible for your child 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 that are interested in participating in the enrollment process should visit www.newarkenrolls.org to:
• Learn about school options through the new School Finder system • View a calendar of open houses and enrollment events taking place at schools throughout the city • Submit an application for their children
The application process dates are:
• December 7, 2019 - School Fair at Barringer High School - 10:00 am • December 7, 2019 - Appplication Window Opens • February 14, 2020 - Application Window Closes • February 21, 2020 - Admisisons Test for NBOE 8th graders • February 22, 2020 - Admissions Test for Non-NBOE 8th graders
We hope that your children are enjoying their school year, and look forward to supporting them as you consider your school options for the 2020-2021 school year.
Sincerely,
Roger León Superintendent Newark 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 – this also means that families MUST make a choice, generally via the Newark Enrolls application, because students will not be automatically placed in the school nearest to their home.
How to begin choosing a school?
This book is a great place to start! Consider some of these points:
What does your child enjoy most about school? • Newark offers a variety of school options. This book is designed to give you an overview of the academic rigor and What experience do you want your child to have extracurricular opportunities that each school offers. Each at school? 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 104. • Find information regarding bilingual/ESL programs on page 110. • Find information on private pre-k providers along with NBOE providers (both offer the same curriculum for pre-kindergarten children) start on page 18.
Practical information: Where is the school? Find all of that information on each school profile, on the top and How long is the commute? Are before-school or on the right side of the page. afterschool care available?
Visit the school! A 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 in person can be extremely informative, and is encouraged. Please call the school before making your visit. Phone numbers for schools are included on each school’s profile page in this book.
Narrow down to a list of 8 top choices and In order to submit your application, verify this information: submit an application via www.newarkenrolls.org • 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 December 7, 2019 - February 14, 2020 of the current school year. If it is after February, visit any NBOE school and speak with a school enroller. TABLE OF CONTENTS

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, or any of their top 3 choices? • Last year, 82% of Kindergarten families got their first choice. 89% of Kindergarten families got one of their top 3 choices.
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 (e.g. 8th grade) 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, 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 school matching process work? • All 7 district magnet 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 or visit: www.newarkenrolls.org for the most up-to-date information.
