computers.
Assessment Initiatives
Student progress is assessed in many ways, including New Jersey’s
mandated ASK3, ASK4
and GEPA tests. Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) computerized tests
are administered twice annually. This individualized test results in
immediate return of useful data in assessing student progress and curriculum.
Extra Curricular Activities
Mount Laurel students participate in school-sponsored activities including
Homework, Yearbook, Technology, Math, Chess, Nature, Art, First Aid,
Theater, Student Council, Battle of the Books and Sign Language Clubs.
Intramural and Interscholastic athletics are offered at the middle
school level and the community is home to several independent youth
organizations. A joint commitment by the district and township results
in the sharing of meeting space, field usage and cooperative projects
that span all ages.
Community Service
In an effort to educate “the whole child,” Mount Laurel Schools
place great value on community commitment. Our student ambassador groups
host events for senior citizens annually. Entire school populations participate
in many fund-raising campaigns for local and national causes each year.
Service projects between schools allow interaction across grade levels
and provide role model support.
