Helping students find their proper school through enrollment events is not the only assistance that the University Heights Charter School is providing for members of its “family.”

University Heights Charter School served as the host to its Job Fair on Wednesday, June 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Elementary School gymnasium. The school is located at 66-78 Morris Avenue in Newark.

According to a report from Ms, Celeste Williams, the UHCS Director of Human Resources/Talent Management, the school held this job fair in an effort to help all employees find employment once the contracts of UCHS staff and faculty are concluded on June 30, 2022.

Williams' reported that 23 local charter schools and other organizations were invited to attend the job fair. The report suggested that all employees bring their resume and credentials. Ms. Williams and her HR staff were on site at the Elementary School to offer assistance and guidance,

On June 14 and 16, UHCS partnered with My Schools Newark to hold the Enrollment Assistance session. Families visited the Elementary School both of those afternoons to hear what options and opportunities are out there to enroll their children in Newark schools.

All of these programs are the result of the New Jersey State Department of Education shockingly announcing on June 1 that it will revoke the charter from University Heights Charter School, effective June 30, 2022.

“University Heights Charter School is a family and families take care of families,” said Dr. Christy Oliver-Hawley, the Head of Schools/CEO of University Heights Charter School.

“We want to make sure our staff lands in the right position come September,” said Ms. Williams.

“Pomp and Circumstances” was played loud and clear.

And so was the delivery that came from the mouths–and hearts–of students, principals, school officials and guest speakers on Thursday, June 16, when the Class of 2022 from the Junior High School walked down the aisle to become graduates of the University Heights Charter School.

The graduation ceremony for this year’s eighth grade Junior High School scholars took center stage in the hall at St. Lucy’s Church in Newark, which was a very popular venue on this special morning.

The 46 graduating students were joined by their principals, school officials, teachers, special guest speakers and plenty of family and friends who crammed into a hall that eventually was standing-room only.

The tone of the ceremony was set early when Dr. Martin Dickerson, the passionate Junior High School Principal who served as the main speaker, asked if any men could give up their seats in order for a woman to sit. And all 15 seats became vacated by these 15 gentlemen. That was the first loud and clear message of the morning.

The students then displayed their talents—loud and clear.

Aniyah Stephens delivered the Pledge of Allegiance and that was followed by a sweet recital of the Star-Spangled Banner by Abraham Omo Ehiosa, Oseremekhian Oyakhilomen and Maryennys Torres.

Dr. Dickerson gave his final graduation introduction since he is retiring from his position. And he told the audience what his mission was during his tenure.

“Everything I did was for the children,” Dr. Dickerson explained. “What I try to do is what is right for them. Just because you correct children does not mean that you do not love them.”

Ms. Miyoshi West Lee, the University Heights Charter School Board President, offered congratulations from herschel and the Board while Ms. Dawn Odom, the tireless and energetic Parent Coordinator for University Heights Charter School, stood in for Dr. Christy Oliver-Hawley, the Head of Schools/CEO, who was out of town due to a commitment., Ms. Odom relayed Dr. Oliver’s proud and sincere congratulations

The theme continued with loud and clear messages that were shared by the two guest speakers, Ms, Tonia lLoyd, who is the founder of the Robinson Lloyd Resilency Group, and Ms. Channel Johnson, Assistant Prosecutor for the Union County Prosecutor’s Office and the Co-Chair of the Diversity and Inclusion Committee.

“I offer three wisdoms that I want to share with you today,” said Ms.Lloyd, whose group offers virtual and live one-on-one and small group coaching, professional learning communities, parent engagement workshops and e-learning opportunities for families and students.

“Number one is forget excuses and take ownership. Number two is attitude is gratitude. So learn and move forward. And number three wisdom is giving back. Find something bigger than yourself.”

She closed with this encouraging advice to the graduates.

“Keep UHCS in your hearts forever. Love and respect.”

The school is in her heart always. According to Dr. Dickerson, Ms. Lloyd stepped in an served as the Junior High School Guidance Counselor until Ms. Jessica Wilhelm assumed that title last year.

Ms. Johnson took the microphone and delivered her loud and clear version of three goals.

“First, dream big. Second is to work hard. And third, rise above,” Ms Johnson said. “I encourage everyone to do those three things.”

Now it was the time of the ceremony for the students to send their message–loud and clear.

The two Class Salutatorians, Maryennys Torres and Oluwakorede Oladoyinbo, sent well wishes to their classmates who sat behind them while they spoke.

“We made it,” said Maryennys, who will attend Donald Payne School of Technology in Newark to focus on Law & Public Safety. “Thanks everyone and I say goodbye to the Class of 2022.”

“Everyone can be successful so follow your heart,” said Oluwakorede, who is headed to the Newark Tech Schools of Technology to study Business..

The final student to offer his message was the Class Valedictorian, Prince Daniel Nnamani.

Prince revealed his gameplan en route to earning this crown achievement,

“I do my school work early to get it out of the way so I can go play basketball,” said Prince,whose comment received a loud and laughing response.

Prince, who will move on to Donald Payne School of Technology and will major in Culinary Arts, also fessed up another secret.

“At first there were some of my kids in my school who annoyed me, But now this year they are all my friends.”

Well said.

All three of these fine students received plaques from Dr. Dickerson, Dr. Karleen Kemp, the Junior High School Vice Principal, and Guidance Counselor Jessica Wilhelm.

Also, the Top 10 Academic Students were announced and received awards.

They were Oumy Diop, Angel Gomez-Hilario, Jada Johnson, Seraiya Maldonado, Abdul Ghaffal Mohammed, Prince Daniel Nnamani, Oluwakorede Oladoyinbo, Osermekhian Oyakhilomen, Aniyah Stephens and Maryennys Tores.

Those three students joined the Class of 2022 scholars who then received their diplomas from Dr Dickson, Dr, Kemp and Ms WIlhelm.

Dr. Dickerson concluded this special day with his message,

“I wish them God speed, I pray for them and I care for them.I pray for their safety and well being and that they arrive home safely from school and that they have good relationships with their parents. Pray, raise and love your children, that is most important.”

The students turned their tassels to signal that they graduated and then marched out while “Pomp and Circumstances” played to a resounding applause and followed Ms. Wilhelm to grab snacks and drinks.

Then the now high school bound students celebrated together outside the church with each other and their families. Photos and hugs and kisses dominated the gathering outside on a day that turned bright after early rains.

Mathias Curry, who will study at North Star Academy in Newark come September, summed up the day—and his UHCS career.

“This was a grand event,” said Mathias, “Going to school here was amazing and excellerating.”

That comment was loud and clear.

Here are the Class of 2022 graduates.

Ashley Goins did not face any challenges from her two children when they were told that they would be going to school on a Saturday.

This Saturday was different.

It was Saturday, June 11, and Ms. Goins’ two children who attend University Heights Charter School were asking that they go to the Elementary School-–the site where the highly popular Summer Reading Kickoff Celebration was staged.

“My kids asked me to be here,” said Ms. Goins as she spoke over the music and excitement that filled the air on this Saturday morning in Newark.”This is the weekend and the kids wanted to be here.”

Ms, Goins, who has one child in kindergarten at the Lower School and another one in the fourth grade at the Elementary School, was recently named as the Parent Representative to the University Heights Charter Board of Trustees.

“This event is very good since the kids had to go through the Pandemic,” she said. “The kids at our school are excited to read,”

And all students in the University Heights Charter School earned that chance to read since the school partnered with Scholastic Books and each scholar received reading material for the summer.

The event, which was held on the turf field outside the Elementary School, not only featured all sorts of books but book cover painting, creating wristlets, an huge inflatable slide, various literacy games and three food trucks that sold tasty chow and treats highlighted a day that resulted in a large attendance,

“We are happy to donate books to this event and this is such a great turnout,” said Ardelio Valdesday, who was on site working as an Account Executive for Scholastic Books in New Jersey.

Also on hand to take in a positive atmosphere was Dr. Christy Oliver-Hawley, the Head of Schools/CEO of University Heights Charter School.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for our families to come out and celebrate reading,” Dr. Oliver said. “This is an opportunity to expand our summer reading to our students. And thank you, to Scholastic.”

Scholastic and University Heights Charter School also joined forces during March when the district-wide 2022 UHCS Book Fair was held–another highly successful event.

Ms. Mitzi Sierra, the Lower School Vice Principal and the coordinator for the Summer Reading Kickoff Celebration, marveled at the festive day.

“It was a great turnout and I felt that families came together and our scholars had so much fun,” Ms. Sierra said. “It was just a wonderful event.”

Wonderful time during a disturbing time when the school is challenging the state’s ruling to revoke its charter.

“This shows the resiliency of the staff here at the school,” Ms. Goins declared. “They could have laid down but they didn’t. I commend them. They still push to make our kids successful.”

Their intentions were to make a loud statement—but in a quiet and peaceful manner.

The Student Leaders and their fellow sixth graders from the Elementary School staged their demonstration and walked through the neighborhoods of their Newark school on the morning of Monday, June 13, to protest the New Jersey Department of Education’s surprising ruling to revoke the charter from the University Heights Charter School.The decision to revoke the charter is scheduled to take effect on June 30.

The University Heights Charter School administration received the letter that was signed by Acting Commissioner of Education Angelica Allen-McMillan on June 1, just a few weeks until the school will end its scholastic year on June 17 and at a time when students have already enrolled for the 2022-2023 school year.

The Department of Education pointed towards test scores from the 2018-2019 school year as one of the reasons for the ruling. Tests were put on hold the past two years by the Governor’s office during the Pandemic. The results of this year’s assessment tests that were held in May have not yet been announced. The tests during the 2018-2019 school year were done before the current administration obtained leadership at the University Heights Charter School.

The student protesters on the morning of June 13 not only represented their school, which educates students in Grades 3-6, but the other two schools for the University Heights Charter School—the Lower School that stands just across Hartford Street and houses children in Grades Pre-K through 2, and the Junior High School, located a few blocks away on Fulton Street and Broad Street, which is the venue for students in Grades 7 and 8.

The sixth graders who are the members of the Student Leaders group approached their school officials last week to offer their suggestion.

“We heard the school was to be shut down so this is our way of fighting to keep this school open,” said Jaylene Rivera, a sixth grader who was among the vocal leaders during the demonstration. “We want people to hear us and what UHCS means to us.”

This action came after the school was visited on June 9 by New Jersey Spotlight News, who interviewed Dr. Oliver, parents, teachers and fifth grade students outside the Elementary School.

These sixth graders were focused on having their passion heard by the community.

The sixth grade scholars kicked off their protest in front of their school on Hartford Street at 8:15 a.m. and participated in their peaceful session up until 10 a.m.

They marched in unison —all 40 students plus administrators and teachers–up Morris Avenue to 1st Street. Holding signs and chanting “Save Our School, UHCS is the Best,”
The party then strolled down 1st Street and gathered at the corner of Central Avenue.

While stationed on 1st street, passing motorists voiced their support by beeping their horns.

The sixth grade cheerleaders performed while the student body summoned up their voices to chant “Try to Stop Us, We Won’t Rest.”

This inspired group was then joined at this location by Dr. Christy Oliver-Hawley, the Head of Schools/CEO of University Heights Charter School.

“We teach our children about speaking up for what they believe in,” Dr. Oliver said.

She then who then quoted the Bible verse “A Child Shall Lead Them.”

Emily Cerda, who is the Students Leaders Vice President, is determined to remain a student at University Heights Charter School.

“I have been here since kindergarten. This school has been very important to me,” Emily said. “I want to go on to the Junior High next year. That is why we are here making a statement.”

One of her classmates, Zymere Ward, touched on what the school means to Newark.

“This school helps the community.It gives students the education to go further in life,” Zymere claimed.

The party continued to sing “Save Our School” and “UHCS is the Best,” while they marched down Central Avenue and back to their school.

Ms. Crystal Covington, the Elementary School Vice Principal, chaperoned the march and praised her students.

“I told them that I am so proud of them all and I will be with them to the last day,” said Ms Covington, who was joined during the protesting parade by Ms. Cathy Davis, the Elementary School Attendance Counselor and sixth grade teachers Mr. Chris Mitchell, Ms. Heather Pawski , Ms. Aaliyah Woodson and Ms. Rasheemah Ward.

Vice Principal Covington, who is in her first year in her role after spending nine years in the classroom at UHCS, spoke highly of the teaching staff and how their influence has paid off with the students.

She offered this closing statement.

“If we have not taught them anything, we taught them to advocate in what they believe in.”

A loud and clear SOS signal was delivered by the University Heights Charter School students on June 8.

The students from the Elementary School–one of the three UHCS schools– were joined by parents, teachers and Dr. Christy Oliver-Hawley, the University Heights Charter School’s Head of Schools/CEO, when New Jersey Spotlight News paid a visit to ask why the New Jersey State Department of Education shockingly–and on extremely short notice– revoked the charter from this institution that has been a staple in the Newark community for 16 years.

And all supplied the news cameraman, who doubled as the reporter, with various reasons why the school, which educates students from Grades Pre-K through 8 in three buildings, should remain in business.

Dr. Oliver, who was brought on board in 2020 when the school had started its probation period, explained that UHCS was blindsided and this disturbing action that was delivered on June 1 announced that the school would have its charter revoked by June 30.This decision also came just a few weeks away when the school year will close on June 17.

That untimely ruling has left 700 students without a school to enroll in and will result in the loss of 150 jobs.

The Acting Commissioner of Education, Angelica Allen-McMillan, signed the unexpected letter to revoke the charter and pointed out such reasons as below-par test scores from the 2018-2019 school year. The test scores for this school year have not yet been released after a period of two years when Covid shut down testing, a ruling by the Governor’s office.

An unannounced visit by a Department of Education evaluator on March 14, 2022, resulted in a positive verbal feedback at the conclusion of that tour of the school. But the Acting Commissioner of Education cited subjective and negative reports from that visit, which the University Heights Charter School responded that were highly inaccurate.That report from the evaluator was never shared with the administrators of the University Heights Charter School.

During the interview held on the turf field outside the Elementary School on a warm and sunny afternoon, the students remained bright and energetic as they held signs to ask that the school remain open and please do not close the school down.They often chanted in loud unison “Save UHCS.”

Parents interviewed produced their sadness and surprise over such a shocking ruling by the state and Cheryl Williams, an Elementary School teacher, was vocal on how the school has made significant changes and improvements since Dr. Oliver took command.

“We have made great strides because of our great leadership under Dr, Oliver.,” Ms. Williams stressed to the cameraman/reporter. “We just need the opportunity to continue.”

Ms. Williams also spoke of the increased programs and the plans to launch a symphony for the Elementary School, which serves students in Grades 3 through 6.

Dr Oliver expressed her surprise and the lack of communication by the state.

“We were never given a report. And please give us the chance to show how our test scores will have improved,” Dr. Oliver said.

She continued to supply sound reasons to object to the state’s ruling while the parents held signs of support and stood strong right behind her during the interview.

“We have done so much, we brought in outstanding leaders and our HR confirmed that we have all certified teachers and we added school counselors and attendance officers. During the Pandemic, we made sure our scholars were provided with Chromebooks.”

While the school will challenge this decision, University Heights Charter School will meanwhile help to work and secure the proper school for its students who will be left out with the 2022-2023 scholastic year just a few months away.

The school has partnered with My Schools Newark to assist in placing the students for the fall.
According to My Schools Newark’s website, the service is an online research tool and mobile-friendly service-oriented website that was created to provide parents with a centralized resource for needed information on every school in Newark.

So, on Tuesday, June 14 and Thursday, June 16, University Heights Charter School and My Schools Newark and its project manager, Octavia Thompson,will hold the UHCS Enrollment Assistance event in the gymnasium at the Elementary School, which is located at 66-78 Morris Avenue in Newark.

The session to assist families in placing their children in schools will run from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m each day. June 14 will focus on helping Pre-K through Grade 3 students and June 16 will assist children in Grades 5 through 8.

Another sign that University Heights Charter School will continue to serve its students and community will occur on Saturday, June 11, on the turf field at Elementary School.

“We will be holding our Summer Reading Kickoff Celebration on June 11 when every one of our students will receive a book to read this summer,” Dr. Oliver reported.

The event on June 11, which will start at 10 am., and be finished by 12 noon, will feature three food trucks, games, an inflatable slide, free raffle drawings and many other activities.

A petition to save the school was launched on June 7 and within two days, on June 9, a total of 768 supporters have signed.

Parents have also been supplied with the contact information for the Acting Commissioner of Education and her Chief of Staff, Julie Bunt. They have been encouraged to write and ask the simple question, Why?

Students were also asked their feelings by the New Jersey Spotlight News cameraman/reporter and they all shared their love and devotion to the school and to please keep it open.

Hopefully someone is listening.

My Schools Newark was the host and sponsor to to an-person school fair that was held to provide families the opportunity to enroll their children into a Newark school. The enrollment event took place at Military Park in Newark.

The University Heights Charter School was well represented at the fair by Ms. Latoya Poyser, who is the district's Enrollment Specialist, and two fellow members of the school's enrollment team---Ms. Kizzy Martinez and Ms. Sophie Ewart, who is each the Operations Manager at the UHCS's Lower School.

Can you spell the word vocabulary?

Can you spell the word passionate?

Ms. Cathy Davis has nor hesitation in spelling both words correctly.

And she should have no problems reciting both words since each is the inspiration she uses in her position as the coordinator for the University Heights Charter School’s 2022 Spelling Bee that will perform on center stage on May 24, 25 and 26 .

Her full-time position at the University Heights Charter School is Attendance Counselor for the Elementary School.

Ms. Davis’ additional task is to coordinate the district-wide Spelling Bee that returns to the podium after a year off due to Covid.

“We utilize the spelling bee because learning the vocabulary is the essence of the usage of words,” Ms. Davis stated “ I am passionate about the knowledge of words. You can transcend yourself with your usage of the vocabulary.”

Each school will have its own day when the scholars will tackle the challenge of spelling words correctly.

All three of the schools whittled down the field to just one candidate per class in each grade after the first-round competition was concluded by May 10.

The final round, which will be held at each school on each day from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., will be shown to the families through a webinar link.
