Good afternoon AUL Family,

Happy Friday. We have had a very busy week. Our students in grades 8, 9 and 11 participated in PSAT testing, and grade 12 participated in our first 'SAT' school day. This program will assist us in implementing the mission of our charter, to have 100% of our students college and career-ready when they graduate from AUL.

Daily tutoring and homework assistance will precede enrichment activities running from 4 PM to 6 PM, Monday to Friday.

Activities include:

• Monthly Field Trips to Colleges & Universities, Liberty State Park, Thomas Edison Museum and New York City Historic District Tour.
• Music
• Cooking
• Gaming
• Fashion Design
• American Sign Language
• Art and Dance

Dinner and Snacks included daily

The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) visited AUL last week during the lunch periods. They talked about on-campus offerings and programs of study, the application process, and scholarships and financial aid. The program was engaging and informative.

The National Honor Society is a nationwide organization for high school students in the United States and outlying territories, which consists of many chapters in high schools. Selection is based on four criteria: scholarship, leadership, service, and character.

The AUL MS extends its sincerest thank you to Rick from Fertigs. Rick has generously given Mr. Kelly two $50 gift certificates to support our Dress Code initiatives.

Students of the month

Founded in 2010 in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, the Academy for Urban Leadership Charter School is one of Middlesex County's comprehensive Public Charter Schools that serves students in seventh through twelfth grades. The school operates under the terms of a charter granted by the New Jersey Department of Education.

When the school first opened in 2010, it did not have the books, tables, or classrooms necessary for students to be in an adequate learning environment. Even the principal, at the time, had to serve as a lunch aide. Since then, AUL has developed to help students receive the education they deserve. AUL has expanded by opening two new campuses, expecting to provide the opportunity for students to continue to succeed, with graduation and college admission, as two of its goals.

AUL offers an advanced academic track and AP courses.

AUL Mission: To employ an educational design and experience that merges the highest standards of academic excellence while fostering convictions and commitment to social and economic justice.
