Schoology serves as a convenient one-stop shop for students to access courses, assignments, teachers, grades, school counselor support, and more. Through Schoology, parents can view their student's courses, check grades, and communicate with teachers. We invite you to sign in and access your parent account to stay involved as partners in your child’s education.

Summer Assignments
The goal of summer assignments at KRSD is to continue to engage students in academic activities throughout the summer or to provide continued practice so students enter the next school year with confidence. These activities have been designed to be completed independently without the need for direct instruction to further demonstrate the importance of self-directed learning.
If a course is not listed, then a summer assignment is not required for that course.

Final Reminder - Fall Athletic Registration Due on August 1, 2024
A friendly reminder that the deadline for Fall athletics registration is August 1, 2024. If you have already signed up and submitted your forms and payment, you can track the status of your forms through your parent Genesis portal. All students will be cleared in time for their mid-August tryout date. Thank you for your patience during this process.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have already submitted your physical paperwork on the old forms, you do NOT need to fill them out again. Both forms will be accepted for the Fall 2024 season.
All student obligations/lunch fees must be paid and up-to-date along with the sports participation fee. Students that still owe cafeteria fees or obligations at the time of tryouts will not be permitted to participate. All obligation fees and lunch account balances can be viewed within your parent Genesis portal under Fees and Fines. They can be paid within the MSB module or in either main offices of the middle and high school.
As of July 1, the NJ Department of Education has updated their student athlete PPE (Pre-Participation Physical Evaluation) form. All new physicals will need to be submitted on the new form, which can be found here: https://www.krsd.org/Page/666.
If your physical says it is "submitted," this means we have received it, and it is working its way through the medical clearance process.
IMPORTANT: We have implemented a new payment processing system within Genesis, utilizing My School Bucks but with a different look. There will no longer be specific sport “stores” for you to pay under. Instead, there will be an invoice you can click to pay within the platform. Alongside MSB, we are still accepting checks or money orders for any fees/obligations. Checks or money orders can be dropped off at the HS North Main Office or in the dropbox outside of the North Entrance of the HS. The invoice will appear in your parent portal on Genesis 24-48 hours after registration.
ALL students must pay the participation fee in order to try out. Once rosters are finalized, we will begin the process of refunding those students who did not make a team. Payments made through MSB are refunded first--followed by paper checks.
If you have any questions concerning payments or registration, please reach out to me at tartagliones@krsd.us
Health paperwork and questions can be sent to:
High School: hsphysicals@krsd.us
Sport specific questions can be directed to the corresponding coach.

Student Chromebooks: Expectations for the 2024-2025 SY
Our 1:1 Chromebook initiative supports student learning in and outside of the classroom. The district-issued device is part of each student's necessary classroom supplies, similar to a pencil, book, or paper. All students are expected to attend every class, every day prepared with a fully charged, district-issued Chromebook with the charging cord. We highly recommend designating a location in your home for the device to charge at night and to be easily placed in the student's backpack in the morning. Click here for more information related to our Chromebook expectations.
