Community Input Requested on School Performance Reports

TO:                  Mine Hill Learning Community

FROM:           Mr. Lee S. Nittel

SUBJECT:      Community Input Requested on School Performance Reports

DATE:            July 2016

The New Jersey Department of Education is asking for your input into the kind of public school information that you would like reported annually. This is your opportunity to tell the state exactly what you want to see in the School Performance Reports (formerly called the School Report Cards) to ensure that you have access to information that can help you determine the quality of your local public schools. 

You are asked to spend approximately five minutes to complete the survey by way of the link below. The survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. It will only ask for general demographic and school information so the Department of Education can ensure it is getting a representative sample from all parts of the state.

The survey can be found online at: www.snapsurveys.com/wh/s.asp?k=146435784682.

The survey is one way the Department of Education is reaching out to communities to gain further insight about how New Jersey can continually improve its public reporting about the schools. If you have any questions or comments about this topic, contact the Department of Education at ESSA@doe.state.nj.us.

Thank you for your sharing your insights and suggestions to help improve New Jersey’s School Performance Reports.

PowerSave Schools Program in Monmouth, Morris and Ocean Counties

Students at Drum Point Elementary School (pictured) are using light meters to make recommendations to their school about whether or not a class room is using more light than it needs. Sustainable Jersey for Schools is partnering with New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) and the Alliance to Save Energy (ASE) to bring the PowerSave Schools program to 14 New Jersey public schools. The schools are receiving training, lesson plans and other tools and resources to educate students about energy efficiency and engage the school community in energy saving activities. Schools get in-person support from a local project leader, both in implementing program activities and in earning points towards Sustainable Jersey for Schools certification. PowerSave teams at Canfield Avenue, Rockaway Valley and Riverview Elementary Schools are holding hallway-based competitions to assess who is best at following the energy-saving recommendations of their PowerSave teams. The winning hallway will receive a pizza party.
