Hello Pennsville Families!
As we head into the final stretch of an amazing school year, we want to celebrate all the hard work and growth your students have achieved! Last Friday, your child’s final screener and diagnostic reports for the year were officially updated in the Parent Portal.
📋 How to View Your Child's Reports
You can access these updates by logging into your LinkIt Parent Portal. If you need help finding your login information, here are a few quick tips:
- Check your email history: Search your personal email for a message sent back in January or February (the exact date depends on your child's specific school).
- Search the sender: Look for an email from registration@linkit.com. (Be sure to check your spam, junk, or promotions folders just in case it took a detour!)
- Recent reminders: If you haven’t had a chance to log in yet, a fresh notification containing your login details was automatically sent out to you last Friday.
Thank you so much for your continued partnership and support in your child's education journey this year.
Have a wonderful day!

REMINDER: Penn Beach Elementary will be administering the annual statewide assessment (NJSLA) to students in grades 4 and 5 utilizing the following schedule:

5/12 - 5/14: NJSLA ELA (Grades 4 and 5)
5/18 - 5/19: NJSLA Math (Grades 4 and 5)
5/20 - 5/21: NJSLA Science (Grade 5 only)

We ask that you help your child do their best by ensuring that they get plenty of rest each night and eat a healthy breakfast each morning. We also ask that you make every effort to make sure your child attends school every day during their testing window and that they arrive on time each day.

The results from the state assessment allow us to reflect and make meaningful, data-driven adjustments to our curriculum and instruction. This information provides insight into what we are doing well and what we need to improve upon, resulting ultimately in better learning outcomes for your child.

Thank you for your continued support.

On April 19th, 2026, selected 4th grade students from Penn Beach Elementary participated in the Head Start in Harmony Festival, held at Salem Community College. This festival gathered students from all over South Jersey to prepare, rehearse and perform Barbershop style music, made up of very difficult four-part harmonies. This festival is one of the few elementary barbershop festivals in the world and we are proud of their hard work and wonderful performance!
