NJ Tiered Systems of Supports at Kingsway
The Kingsway Regional School District is enhancing its academic and social-emotional supports through the New Jersey Tiered System of Supports (NJTSS). NJTSS is an evidence-based framework that helps ensure all students receive the instruction, social-emotional/behavioral support, and interventions they need to succeed. By using various data sources, Kingsway educators target classroom instruction more effectively and continually monitor student progress, making necessary adjustments to support both academic achievement and social-emotional growth. This approach seeks to ensure that every student receives the right support at the right time. Click here to learn more.
See Something, Do Something at KRHS
What is Anonymous Alerts?
Anonymous Alerts allows students, parents, and other school personnel to anonymously submit any sensitive or urgent student issues quickly to school officials. Students, parents, and school personnel can submit reports such as bullying, cyberbullying, harassment, hazing, drug or alcohol use during school, vaping during school, threats against the school, and more. Users of the system have the option to remain anonymous or reveal their identity when submitting a report.
In an immediate emergency, always call 9-1-1.
Anonymous Alerts is monitored between 6:30am to 4:00pm Monday through Friday when school is in session. Outside of these hours, please directly contact an administrator.

SMART - Have a Purpose and Plan

Please speak with your child/children about having a plan for SMART.
Here is the SMART Weekly calendar that students are sent each week. This will help students/parents to know what clubs/activities are meeting each week as well as what teachers are available during L1 or L2.
