Enrollment Assistance Sites Open

From August 27 through September 10, five Enrollment Assistance Sites will be open from 4-8pm to assist families with enrollment issues and concerns. The sites will be overseen by the Office of Comprehensive Community Education in the Mayor’s Office. 

Each site will be staffed by volunteers from the City as well as staff from the Newark Public Schools (NPS) who will speak with families and conduct intake of enrollment issues and concerns.
