CODE: 6122
SECTION: INSTRUCTION
ARTICULATION
The Board of Education wishes its pupils to progress from elementary through secondary levels in an orderly, continuous program. The Superintendent of Schools shall develop programs whereby teachers of the various levels of the district's schools cooperate to achieve smooth transitions from level to level; whereby pupils in the district's schools receive instruction in the same subjects at the same levels as pupils in other districts who will be attending the same high schools; and whereby the transition for district pupils from our elementary schools to the middle school and to the high school is accomplished without unnecessary difficulty for any pupil.
Further, the Superintendent of Schools shall develop a similar relationship with nursery schools from which district kindergarten pupils come. To this end, the Superintendent has developed a procedure which provides articulation meetings during the school year between area nursery schools and district kindergarten staff. Also included in these articulation meetings are representatives from the following: West Milford Township Board of Education, district preschool disabled program, district junior kindergarten, district elementary/preschool Child Study Team, district administrators and Head Start.
