LinkIt Parent Portal Coming Soon...

zoom_out_map
In an effort to increase home-school communications and provide parents access to student assessment information, the district is making the Linkit Parent Portal open for families beginning the week of November 20. Families will receive an email that includes a registration code. This will prompt you to set up a parent portal account. Parents will be able to view MAP assessment results by subject area. If you have any questions about your child's MAP score, please reach out to the classroom teacher. If you experience difficulty navigating the portal, please contact Jackie Doyle, District Supervisor for Data, Assessment, and Intervention at jdoyle@freeholdtwp.k12.nj.us.


In the meantime, MAP assessment results have been distributed to each student during homeroom on Monday, November 20th. Please be sure to check with your children to receive their envelope with scores.

Toys for Tots Collection Has Begun!

We are an official collection site from the hours of 8am - 1:30 pm, Nov. 20 - Dec. 15th.
