Important Announcement for Eagle Academy Newark Parents
Dear Eagle Academy NewarkParent or Guardian:
Eagle Academy has been selected to represent schools across the United States of America by taking the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The NAEP is given by the National Center of Education Statistics (NCES) out of Washington, D.C., and is not a part of the New Jersey Department of Education state tests or PARCC. The NAEP is voluntary, and student participation provides information that can help lead to improvements in education nationwide. There is no grade for NAEP, and the individual student results are not given to our school, district, or the state. In addition, NAEP has no impact on the school’s accountability record or teacher evaluation.
In our school, the NAEP test will be given on March 6, 2019. Your child (may be/has been) selected to take an assessment on a tablet brought to our school by NAEP. In addition to answering the test questions, students will be asked questions about themselves and their educational experiences here at our school. If you would like to see some sample subject area and background questions, please visit http://nationsreportcard.gov/parents.asp.
It will take about 2 hours for most students to take the test. All of the results from this test are completely confidential (Public Law 107-347, Title V, Subtitle A: Confidential Information Protection), and will be used for statistical purposes only.
Information regarding your child’s participation in NAEP:
If you do not want your child to participate in NAEP, please notify me in writing by February 20, 2019.
Your child does not have to study to get ready to take NAEP. We do ask, however, that you encourage your child to do their best and get plenty of rest the night before the assessment. You can read the brochure that explains NAEP at http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/pdf/parents/2012469.pdf.
If you have questions, or if you would like a paper copy of the brochure, please contact me at (973-705-3847/3849 or at (jkinard@nps.k12.nj.us). We are excited that our school will be participating in NAEP and that your child (may be/has been) selected.
Sincerely,
Semone Morant, Principal

Eagle Academy Students Recite 'Invictus' In one of the Democratic National Convention's Most Powerful Moments
Story by Karen Fratti - Tuesday night's Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia was just about to get a bit boring, until the Eagle Academy students recited "Invictus"and brought everyone back to life. The Eagle Academy is a consortium of all-male secondary schools that started in the Bronx, in New York City, and has five locations in the city and across the river, in Newark, New Jersey. Every day, they recite "Invictus," a poem by William Ernest Henley, that was also made famous by Nelson Mandela. Read More
