I have loved being at NJES. My daughter went to pre-k here and her teachers were wonderful!

My daughter reported a sexual assault to the assistant principal which took four days to look into her report, only after I emailed them along with two people from the district office. She was made to remain in the classroom with the boy who sexually assaulted her for those four days and was only separated after I asked what the supportive measures were. The Title IX investigator was clearly biased regarding how this report was handled and also tried to deter me from requesting a formal investigation to be done. The principal, being a woman, did not address this in any way and was only apart of the meeting after I requested her to attend. After several panic attacks, we withdrew our daughter and are homeschooling her due to her telling the administrators and the Title IX investigator she did not feel safe with how her report was neglected along with her safety. I hope this helps parents see how this school and school system handles sexual assault reports before choosing to send their children there. No one should ever feel terrified to be in school with the fear that if they report something this serious, they will not be protected in any way and are spoken to in a way that makes them feel like they did something wrong by coming forward. Now the principal has been given the position of principal for the new high school and the assistant principal has been given the position of principal of this high school. All the while, my daughter further struggles with her mental health as a homeschooled student.

All staff is very helpful. Always looking forward to help families in all their needs.
