Report Card Conferences
While Toms River Regional Schools has been using Standards-Based Report Card (SBRC) grading for years, it is worthwhile to review the purpose of this report card structure. For a quick overview of Toms River Regional Schools' transition to a SBRC from 2017, click on the video: TRRS 2017-18 Report Card Transition.
On SBRC's, grading is based more upon the progress toward mastery of learning targets or standards than “traditional” assessment. Subject areas are broken down further into specific skills and content that students need to learn or master. Each target is assessed. The influence of positive and consistent work habits and social skills on student learning is reported separately from achievement (see "Study Skills/Work Habits" and "Social Skills").
Please contact your child's teacher or Mr. Lanza, Supervisor of Instruction, if you have any questions related to standards-based report card grading.
Important Dates & Cafeteria Info...
As you know, from previous district and school communications, federal waivers for free meals expired in June 2022. All districts have been required to return to pre-pandemic operations for the 2022-23 school year. Meals free of charge will be available only to those students who qualify through Direct Certification, Categorical Eligibility, or the 2022-2023 Application for Free and Reduced Price School Meals. Please contact the main office if you need assistance with completing an application: 732.505.5830.
We encourage you to review the weekly menu with your child to determine what days (if any) they will purchase lunch. Our district is committed to ensuring the health of our students and we will never deny a student lunch if they report that they are hungry or have not brought a lunch from home.
