The 2024-25 school year kicks off on Thurs., Aug. 15. We wanted to gather all of the important information you need for the start of the school year in one place:

Newark City Schools will be offering meals at no charge to all students across the district for the entirety of the 2024-25 school year through the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program’s Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). This means that all students, regardless of income status, can receive meals at no cost to families through the school year. Families will be asked to fill out a Household Information Survey, which will be available shortly. Families do not need to fill out a Free and Reduced Price Lunch form. If your family income falls within or below the income guidelines, school fees may be waived, including the district’s technology fee.

School supply lists and fee information is now available online. You can find all of the information by clicking here, or individual lists below:

Every Month, Newark City Schools honors 30 students in grades 4 through 12 from across the district as Citizens of the Month, for their leadership and actions inside and outside of the classroom. Students and their families are invited to a lunch in their honor to celebrate their achievements. The May Citizen of the Month luncheon was sponsored by Marathon. High school musicians from the band and orchestra programs each performed: a saxophone quartet, a horn and flute duet, and a viola quartet. You can view a Facebook photo album by clicking this link.
