Supplemental Services
Supplemental services are offered to students in Grades K-6 who have not exhibited proficiency in the areas of language arts and/or math. Students in need of supplemental services are selected based on their performance on standardized tests, district benchmark assessments, and teacher recommendation.

English Language services are offered to students in Grades K-6 who demonstrate a need for English language instruction. These students are selected based on the results of an ESL (English as a Second Language) screening performed by the ESL staff. Students are screened if their home language is a language other than English, and/or if recommended for screening by the teacher or parent.

Under the ESSA, all schools receiving Title I funds must inform parents of their right to ask schools about the professional qualifications of their child’s teachers and paraprofessionals. Our school receives Title I funding and we are happy to share this information with you upon your request.
New Jersey has some of the most qualified teachers in the country, and we are extremely proud of the quality of the teaching staff in the Edgewater School District. All our regular teachers have college degrees and many have advanced degrees. In addition, every teacher continues learning through professional development activities and our teachers are evaluated each year to make sure their teaching skills remain at the highest possible level.
We encourage you to support your child's education and communicate with your child's teacher(s) on a regular basis. For more information on ESSA, and the role of parents, please visit the United States Department of Education's (USDE) website at http://www.ed.gov/essa.
By partnering, families and educators can provide your child with the best education possible.
