Welcome to Berlin Township School District!
MISSION STATEMENT
The slogan of the Berlin Township School District of “Educating Today for Tomorrow’s Success” is meant to focus the educational community on the broad goal of giving ALL of our children the necessary skills to be successful in all future endeavors. Student achievement is the major priority; the district prides itself on its creative approach to learning and its emphasis upon helping each student to discover his or her potential. Teachers use a variety of teaching methods to reach students with a wide range of abilities. Student engagement as volunteers in the learning process is our primary focus. It is our responsibility to create structures and systems where students are totally engaged in the instruction, which will then lead to deeper learning and understanding.
The Berlin Township School District commits itself to all children by creating a standards-based school district in which all students receive the very best educational opportunities possible. Each and every student will surpass the New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards. To achieve this, the members of the district will focus on:
Establishing high standards of excellence for both staff and students.
Communicating openly and frequently within the district and with the community to foster a trusting relationship.
Ensuring a safe and orderly environment for staff and students.
Recognizing that a school district serves as a role model and has the responsibility to encourage high quality character behavior.
Introducing the Parent Portal and Video Reporting for NJ Student Learning Assessments
In response to suggestions from stakeholders, the New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) is pleased to
announce a new and innovative method for presenting parents/guardians with individual student test results.
New Jersey Parent Portal
Earlier this year, the NJDOE introduced the New Jersey Parent Portal where parents/guardians can learn about
their children’s performance on the New Jersey Student Learning Assessments for English Language Arts and
Mathematics (NJSLA-ELA/M). The New Jersey Parent Portal User Guide has information on how to create an
account, log into the account and add claim codes to access student score reports and video of Individual Student
Reports (ISRs). The portal will also allow parents/guardians to track their student’s scores from year to year,
beginning with the spring 2019 results.
Video Reporting of Individual Score Reports (Video ISRs)
In addition to traditional paper ISRs delivered by the schools, video versions of the ISRs are currently available via
the New Jersey Parent Portal. The video score report communicates information from the ISR through animations
and a voiceover in New Jersey’s top five languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese and Arabic.
The printed ISRs that were delivered to districts/schools by September 11, 2019, include the claim codes that
parents/guardians can use to access their child's performance results in the NJ Parent Portal. Parents/guardians
must create an account on the New Jersey Parent Portal and use the claim code provided on the student’s ISR to
add the results to their profile. Once parents/guardians create their accounts, they can add codes for additional
students and/or administrations by adding new codes to their accounts.
