Board meeting start time changes to 5:30 p.m.

The Newark City School District Board of Education will move its regular meeting start time to 5:30 p.m. moving forward, beginning with the April 12 meeting. Meetings previously began at 6:30 p.m. The Board meets regularly on the second Monday of each month except for November’s meeting, which is on November 15. Meetings are held in Room 151 at the Administrative Service Center, 621 Mount Vernon Road in Newark.

It's time to start thinking about the 2021-22 school year if you have a child who will be 5 or 6 years old this fall. Newark City Schools will hold its annual kindergarten registration period from April 5 through April 16, with appointments from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day, and appointments until 7 p.m. on Wednesdays. Parents can complete their child's registration online by clicking this link. More information about registering for kindergarten, included documentation needed, is available at this link.

March 2021 Citizens of the Month

March 2021 Citizen of the Month.mov from The Wildcat Network on Vimeo.

Superintendent David Lewis was able to visit classrooms across the district this month to congratulate our March 2021 Citizens of the Month. Students are honored monthly based on their actions inside and outside of the classroom at school. They are nominated by their teachers. Usually, students are able to invite their families to a pizza lunch to recognize their achievement. This year, students are being recognized in front of their peers, with a certificate and coupons.

Register now for Kindergarten Readiness Academy 2021

The annual Kindergarten Readiness Academy is a four-week summer program meant to help incoming kindergarten students become comfortable in a school setting, while exposing them to letters, numbers, literature, science, math and art concepts. This summer's program begins July 5 and lasts 4 days a week through July 29, from 9 a.m. to noon each day. Register for this free program by downloading and filling out the form at this link. The form can be dropped off at any school building, mailed to the administrative service center, or emailed to Amy McDaniel at [email protected].
