I've updated the Calendar to include the officially distributed information about Morning STARS and Casper: http://www.jcboe.org/


Registration for Casper is listed as 3 PM- 6 PM on Sep. 7, 8, and 9th. (Have money order for $78 available; no cash, no personal checks, no credit/debit cards accepted, no PayPal)

Registration for Morning STARS is listed as 3 PM- 6 PM on Sep. 8 and 9th. (Have money order for $45 available; no cash, no personal checks, no credit/debit cards accepted, no PayPal)

Hopefully that's a typo on the official calendar and Morning STARS registration will also be available on Wednesday Sep. 7th.

I don't know about Morning STARS, but the CASPER calendar is out. That's actually how I first noticed the discrepancies in the calendar. First day of CASPER is Monday 9/12.

Thanks so much for the corrections! I've made the changes to the calendar so it should be accurate now.

BTW, no official update on the Start of Morning STARS or CASPER yet.

This is great, thank you.

Just a couple of observations.

For elementary school, Report Card Distribution is 12/1 not 11/30.

School reopen 1/3 not 1/2.

I did not see an early dismissal on 6/18.

Last day of school is 6/21 not 6/20.

Sepecat,
I'm glad you pointed out the official calendar. It was my inspiration for making a cleaner, more user-friendly calendar specifically for the elementary school kids' parents of Jersey City. The official calendar is OK, but mixes in alot of information that is irrelevant for parents (though important and relevant to staffers).

The color-coding in the official calendar is an admirable attempt to separate out the different categories of events, but ultimately is a failed effort: The calendar was distributed in black and white (!)

ecinjc,
I'm glad you liked it. As you know, this is a PUBLIC calendar so anyone can import it into their gmail calendars. For non-gmail users, the calendar can be viewed in any web browser at the following link:

Wow this is great. Thank you! I am PC president at PS#5 and I would like to share this with my parents. I imported to my Google Calendar, if you are a member of the JC Schools Yahoo group you may want to post this, I think people would appreciate it.

I've made a a parent-centric school calendar. Most of the events apply to all students, but the calendar is specifically tailored for parents of elementary school kids in the JC Public Schools.
