Dear School Community,
Welcome to the back-to-school edition of our newsletter! As the 2026–2027 school year begins, we are excited to welcome our students and families back to Kingsway Regional High School. Our faculty, staff, and administrative team have worked throughout the summer to prepare for a successful year filled with learning, growth, connection, and opportunity.
This edition brings together the important information your family will need to make a smooth transition into the new school year. As students make their way back into our hallways, they will be welcomed by many caring faculty and staff members who are ready to answer questions and provide support. Our goal is for every student to begin the year feeling confident, connected, supported, and ready to succeed.
We encourage you to stay engaged and connected with us throughout the year by reading our newsletters, attending school events, and communicating with teachers and administration. We look forward to seeing our halls filled with the energy and enthusiasm that make Kingsway such a special place, and we are excited for all that the 2026–2027 school year has in store.
Thank you for being an important part of the Kingsway community. Welcome back Dragons!

A universal screener (The Behavioral and Emotional Screening System or BESS) will be utilized in the fall and spring to proactively capture our students' social, emotional, and behavioral needs. The 5-10 minute web-based questionnaire will be completed in students’ Physical Education classes in September and February. The results will tell us where we are as a district and help to inform the development of appropriately tailored interventions and supports. You may choose to opt your child/children out of wellness screening results and outcomes by emailing Fallon Corcoran at corcoranf@krsd.us by 2:45 pm on September 8.
If you did not already get your chromebook at the Freshman Transition Camp, you will receive a chromebook during the first two days of school during PE class. See the specific dates below.

Dear Kingsway Students, Parents, and Guardians,
One topic that has received considerable attention this summer has been New Jersey's new law restricting the use of personal internet-enabled devices during the school day. As a result, Kingsway has developed procedures to ensure compliance with the law while continuing to provide students with a safe, engaging, and focused learning environment.
Please take a few moments to review the attached letter, which outlines the new requirements, our district procedures, and our "Off and Away" campaign. Additional information will be shared by your child's school prior to the start of the school year.
Thank you in advance for your partnership and support as we work together to make the 2026-2027 school year a successful one.
This school year, we will continue to use a digital hall pass system designed to make the school day safer, more efficient, and less disruptive. With GoGuardian, students will request passes on their chromebooks or on the classroom kiosk. The system allows school staff to see, in real time, who is out of class, where they are going, and how long they've been gone. This helps us keep students accountable while minimizing interruptions during instructional time.
More importantly, GoGuardian improves student safety. In case of an emergency, we can quickly locate students who are not in their classrooms, helping us respond more effectively and ensuring everyone's wellbeing.
By using GoGuardian, we’re able to keep students in class longer, reduce lost learning time, and provide a more secure school environment. We appreciate your support as we continue to use this digital hall pass system that will begin on Thursday, September 3.
Dear Kingsway Students, Parents, and Guardians,
Regular school attendance is one of the strongest predictors of student success. We are sharing an important update to district attendance procedures that will take effect beginning in the 2026–2027 school year.
These updates align Kingsway’s practices with New Jersey Department of Education guidance and state statutes regarding attendance reporting and excused absences.
Please see the attached letter for full details, including definitions of excused absences, attendance expectations, and how families can access additional support.
If you have any questions, please contact your child’s principal or the Superintendent.
Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting student attendance and success.
Dear Senior,
Welcome to your senior year at Kingsway Regional High School!
I am excited and honored to continue supporting the Class of 2027 during one of the most memorable and important years of your high school experience. I am also excited to introduce your senior class advisors, Mr. Nick Fiocco and Mr. Marc Schaffer. They are here to guide you, answer your questions, and ensure you have an amazing senior year experience.
You will find important information regarding your senior year in the SENIOR LETTER. Remember that you must be logged into your KRSD Google account to access and complete the Mandatory Senior Student Information Form included in the senior letter.
Please be advised that seniors will not be able to obtain a parking permit until parents/guardians review all contact information and check off on back-to-school information in Kingsway's Genesis Parent Portal. It is important that this is done if students are looking to drive and park on campus next year.
Let's make this year extraordinary. Embrace the challenges, celebrate your achievements, and cherish every moment. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to me or your advisors.
Here's to an amazing senior year!
Ms. Alexander

Dear Kingsway Families,
As part of our ongoing commitment to protecting student accounts and personal information, all student Google account passwords will be changed on Tuesday, August 4. This password change applies to all students in grades 8-12. Incoming 7th graders and 9th grade Logan students will not have their passwords changed since they are being enrolled in the Kingsway School District.
What You Need to Know
- Your child's new Google password will be available in the Genesis Parent Portal beginning on August 4.
- Please verify that you can access your Genesis Parent Portal before that date so you can retrieve your child's updated password when needed.
- If you are unable to access the Parent Portal, please contact our Registrar's Office at registrar@krsd.us for assistance.
Why Are Passwords Changing?
Annual password updates are an important part of keeping student accounts secure. Regular password changes help prevent unauthorized access and reduce the risk of cyber threats. In addition, Kingsway utilizes Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and other security measures to better protect student accounts.
For more information about our technology security practices, including MFA, please visit www.krsd.org/technology.
Doctor’s orders for medication administration, physical activity restrictions, or special accommodations must be updated each school year.

· Diabetic Medical Management Plan
· Seizure Action Plan
· Indemnification/Hold Harmless Agreement (for students who self-administer- i.e. insulin, inhaler)
For information regarding high school sports, please visit the “Athletics” page on the KRSD website.
Please have your child’s Primary Care Provider complete the necessary form(s) and return to the respective Health Office along with the medication before the first day of school.
If your child has needs not included here, please notify the health office.
Medication will not be kept in the health office over the summer. Any medications left will be discarded.
If your child is entering 9th grade, please send all completed health forms and paperwork to the High School Health Office.

The goal of summer assignments at KRSD is to continue to engage students in academic activities throughout the summer or to provide continued practice so students enter the next school year with confidence. These activities have been designed to be completed independently without the need for direct instruction to further demonstrate the importance of self-directed learning.
If a course is not listed, then a summer assignment is not required for that course.
