What This Clark Board of Education NJ Guide Covers
Where to Get Clark NJ School Calendar PDFs, Events and Closure Updates
The official Clark Public School District Calendar page is the safest starting point for monthly events and district-wide dates. The calendar page links to the live district calendar and school-year calendar downloads, including revised 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 calendar files when posted.
The district home page also posts calendar-related announcements. In March 2026, the district posted a note about the 2026-2027 calendar and also explained that certain May and June dates would not be “snow giveback” days because snow days had been used.
Use the calendar page before planning vacations, childcare, athletic events, concerts, kindergarten orientation, school pickup, family travel, testing dates, and school closure arrangements. For one-school events, also check the individual school page.
“`Use for: school events, district activities, closures, concerts, orientations, awards nights, and calendar updates.
Use for: school-year planning, holidays, early dismissal, staff days, and broad family scheduling.
Check again: snow-day use can affect giveback days and spring planning.

How to Check Clark BOE Meeting Agendas, Addendas, Minutes and Special Meetings
The official Meetings and Agendas page lists Board agendas, addendas, minutes, and special meeting files. Use this page when you need official records instead of a general calendar listing.
Agendas show what the board plans to discuss. Addendas may show added items. Minutes show the meeting record after approval or posting. The page also includes historical files, which makes it useful for budget research, policy review, personnel actions, public comments, and board action follow-up.
“`Open the Meetings and Agendas page
Start with the official district page instead of copied meeting dates from search snippets.
Choose agenda, addendum or minutes
Pick the file that matches your need. An agenda is not the same thing as approved minutes.

Smorol, Jr. The page also lists Tracey McCarrick as Garwood Representative.

Clark NJ School Directory for ALJ, Kumpf, Hehnly, Valley Road and Preschool
The official district site links to school pages for Arthur L. Johnson High School, Carl H. Kumpf Middle School, Frank K. Hehnly Elementary School, Valley Road Elementary School, and Clark Preschool. Use the district school links when you need campus-level notices, events, staff information, and student resources.
School pages matter because not every event is district-wide. A concert, athletic award, kindergarten orientation, preschool FAQ, drop-off procedure, teacher message, school letter, or building-specific reminder may be posted under the school page rather than the district calendar.
“`Use the ALJ page for high school notices, athletics, events, guidance updates, and student information.
Use the Kumpf page for middle school announcements, programs, events, and school-level communication.
Use the Hehnly page for elementary notices, orientations, events, and parent updates.
Use the Valley Road page for school-level event notices and family information.
Use preschool links for registration, preschool calendars, supply lists, FAQs, drop-off and pickup guidance, and program notices.
Contact the child’s school first for attendance, pickup, classroom, nurse, and daily school questions.
Preschool, Kindergarten, New Student Registration and Residency in Clark Public Schools
The district posts school-year-specific registration announcements and links. For the 2026-2027 year, the district posted preschool and kindergarten registration letters and directed families to contact the District Residency Officer/Registrar for registration-process questions.
Registration requirements can change by school year, grade level, residency status, preschool program, and documentation need. Do not rely on old PDFs, screenshots, or social media comments. Use the official district site and current registration announcement before submitting documents.
“`Registration checklist before contacting the district
- Confirm the correct school year and grade level first.
- Check whether the current-year registration letter is posted.
- Use official district registration links, not copied forms from old posts.
- Prepare proof of residency and student documents requested by the district.
- Email or call the registrar or school if your situation is unusual.
Genesis Parent Portal, Student Login and Account Safety for Clark Families
The Clark Public School District website links to Genesis parent and student resources. Families should use district-linked Genesis access instead of entering credentials on a random login page found through search results.
Genesis can be used for student information, parent access, student access, and school-related account functions. District bus-route announcements may direct families to check the child’s Genesis account under the “Bus” tab when route information is posted for eligible students.
“`Parent Access
Use the district-linked Genesis Parent Link from the official Clark Public Schools website.

The official Business Office page is the best place to start for transportation-related district resources. District announcements can also explain whether families should log into Genesis and check the “Bus” tab for route information.
Transportation details can depend on eligibility, home address, school assignment, UCVTS status, grade level, and current route availability. Do not assume bus eligibility only because a route existed in a previous school year.
“`Use the Business Office page for transportation-related district staff and documents.

Special Services, SEPAG, HIB, Health and Wellness Resources
The Clark Public School District website includes official pages for Special Services, SEPAG, HIB, and Health and Wellness. These pages are more appropriate than a general BOE page when the issue involves student services, special education, bullying, school climate, health guidance, or wellness calendars.
The Health and Wellness page includes current health guideline links and wellness calendar links. The SEPAG page links to Special Education Parent Advisory Group meeting materials. Families should use official district pages before submitting sensitive student information.
