Definitions 1. For the purposes of school attendance, a “day in session” shall be a day on which the school is open and students are under the guidance and direction of a teacher or teachers engaged in the teaching process. Days on which school is closed for such reasons as holidays, teachers’ institutes, and inclement weather shall not be considered as days in session. 2. A “school day” shall consist of not less than four hours, except that one continuous session of two and one-half hours may be considered a full day of Kindergarten. 3. “A day of attendance” shall be one in which the student is present for a full day under the guidance and direction of a teacher while school is in session. a. Whenever over-crowded conditions make it necessary to hold two separate sessions with a different group of students in each session, a student attending for all of either session shall be regarded as having attended for the full day. An excused absence for any reason shall not be counted as a day of attendance in the school register. 4. A “half-day class” shall be considered the equivalent of a full day’s attendance only if in session for four hours or more, exclusive of recess periods or lunch periods. B. Attendance Recording 1. A record of the attendance of all students on roll in a school register shall be kept each day that school is in session by a teacher or other authorized person. It shall be the duty of this person to keep the attendance records according to these rules and the specific instructions issued by the Commissioner of Education. 2. No student shall be recorded as present unless the school is in session and the student so recorded is under the guidance and direction of a teacher in the teaching process. 3. A student shall be recorded as absent in the school register when not in attendance at a session of the school while a member of the school, except students excused due to religious holidays who shall be recorded as excused. 4. A student shall be recorded as either present, absent, or excused for religious observance, every day the school is in session after the student enters until the date the student is transferred to another school, transferred to an individual home instruction record, or officially leaves the school system.

We use these public school rankings to generate Top 10 Lists, which show the top-performing schools in five different areas: • Student performance • Low-income student performance • Black student performance • Latino student performance • Performance gains* Each subgroup’s performance score is an average of their reading and math proficiency at the highest tested grade level in that school. In order for a school to be on the Top 10 list for a major subgroup (low- income, black or Latino), the student body it serves must reflect the statewide student demographics for that subgroup. For example, Latinos represent 23 percent of New Jersey's population. For a school to be on the Top 10 list for Latino student performance, therefore, at least 23 percent of its students must be Latino. The statewide student demographics for all subgroups are as follows: 35% = Low-Income 16% = Black 23% = Latino * There are no performance gains at the high school level because reading and math are only tested once) NEW JERSEY TOP TEN SCHOOLS, 2013 JERSEYCAN 3 Top 10 Elementary Schools TOP 10 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS Traditional public school Performance gains Charter school RANK NAME % POINT CHANGE IN PROFICIENCY Bayonne Board of Education 1 Nicholas Oresko School 20.2 Ewing Township Public Schools 2 Antheil Elementary School 19.0 Passaic City Public Schools 3 Theodore Roosevelt School No.

    Wednesday, June 6, 2018 Girls Semi-Finals @ Middletown High School South 5:00PM Oak Knoll vs. Ridgewood 7:00PM Moorestown vs. Haddonfield Boys Semi-Finals @ Kean University 5:00PM Mountain Lakes vs. Summit 7:30PM Delbarton Lakes vs. Watchung Hills Saturday, June 9, 2018 Tournament of Champions Finals @ Kean University Girls Finals @ 5:00PM Boys Finals @ 7:30PM A Message to the NJSIAA 2017 Boys & Girls Lacrosse Championship Participants Dear Players, Coaches, Parents and Volunteers, Lacrosse played at the high school level is a serious commitment. For the athletes, many hours of physical and mental training are needed to be competitive on the field. Coaches, trainers, school officials and other volunteers donate their time and skills at practices, games and doing the administrative tasks required to manage a team. Over the years, parents provided and continue to provide their children with emotional support and financial assistance—plus taxi and cheerleading services for games, practices and tournaments throughout the season. Investors Savings Bank applauds the players, parents, coaches, officials and volunteers who devote their time to ensuring the students have a team to be part of. Because by playing lacrosse athletes learn so much more than dribbling, sliding, blocking and passing. They learn the life skills that will serve them well as they make their way in the world. The Investors’ team is proud to contribute to the NJSIAA Championships and to have a small role in the players’ lives. Sincerely, Kevin Cummings President and CEO Mission Statement The NJSIAA, a private, voluntary Association serves its student-athletes, member schools and related professional organizations by the administration of education-based interscholastic athletics, which support academic achievement, good citizenship and fair and equitable opportunities.
