There is a lot going on as the start of the school year approaches on Aug. 18. Here are a few links to important information as the start quickly approaches:

Online back-to-school forms are now open for the 2022-23 school year. The forms must be filled out online by clicking this link. Your user name is your child's student ID; the password is your child's six-digit birthdate in MMDDYY format. For example, if your child's birthdate is Nov. 15, 2013, the password would be 111513. Please contact your child's school if you have questions about the student ID or difficulty filling out the forms.

School lunch charges will resume for the 2022-23 school year, as the USDA has ended the program that provided lunches at no cost for all families. Lunches will cost $3 for students this year. Breakfast will continue to be offered for free. Please consider filling out the free and reduced price meal form. A family of 4 that makes less than $51,000 is eligible for at least a reduced price lunch. Parents can fill the form out online by clicking here, or a paper form can be downloaded by clicking here. Filling out the form can impact funding sources for our district, such as technology and other federal dollars.

Open house schedules for the 2022-23 school year are now available. Please click here to find your school's open house date and time.

Supply lists for the 2022-23 school year are now available. You can click the below links to see the lists, or visit the Newark City Schools page on TeacherLists to find pre-populated lists for ordering supplies through Amazon, Staples or other online retailers.
