Building on a robust body of research, the New Jersey Student Learning Standards (NJSLS) provide clear and consistent learning goals across nine distinct content areas to help prepare students for postsecondary success. The standards, found using the linked text above, clearly demonstrate what students are expected to learn at specific grade levels and bands, so that every parent and teacher can understand and support student learning.
Family Life Education
New Jersey Code (NJAC 6:29-7.1) mandates the teaching of Family Life topics as part of the school's curriculum (Grades 4-12). Each school principal notifies all parents about the major objectives and general topic areas for each grade level. Instructional materials are available in each school for parents to review. Part of the New Jersey mandate also affords parents the right to exclude the children from such instruction. This waiver will be included in the letter from the principal. Parents should contact the building principal for more information.
Graduation Requirements
Homework
Parent/Guardian Conferences
Parent-teacher conferences provide an opportunity for the teacher and parent to develop a mutual understanding of the child's growth and development and to exchange valuable information that will aid the child's progress. The conference dates for parents/guardians of students in Grades K-5 can be found on our school calendar.
Physical Education
Each student is required to have 150 minutes of physical education and/or health per week. Only a student who has received a medical excuse from a medical doctor may be excused from this requirement. In the high school program, students who have a physician's note to excuse them from the physical education/health class will be assigned to an adaptive physical education class based on the physician's prescription.
Each physical education program – elementary, middle, and high school – has some guidelines regarding appropriate dress for the physical education class. Students will be informed of the guidelines during the first week of school. In addition, there are more specific statements for required dress listed in the School Handbook for Secondary Students.
