In order to optimize student achievement of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards, the Ocean Gate Board of Education shall be responsible for the delivery of educational programs at the elementary level using a coherent sequence of activities to prepare all students for secondary and high school success as well as employment or postsecondary study upon their graduation.

The chief school administrator shall develop programs whereby teachers of the various levels of the district’s schools cooperate to achieve smooth transitions from level to level; whereby pupils in the district’s schools receive instruction in the same subjects at the same levels as pupils in other districts who will be attending the same secondary and high schools; and whereby the transition for district pupils from our elementary school is accomplished without unnecessary difficulty for any pupil.

Further, the chief school administrator will make every effort to develop a similar relationship with nursery schools from which district kindergarten pupils come.
