“As someone with deep roots in Newark, I’m passionate about the community. I want our students to understand they belong here and have a vital role in the community’s success. At school, we prioritize building strong, trusting relationships, listening openly, and creating space for every student to feel seen, heard, and inspired.”
“I believe every child deserves to be seen, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential. I want our students to feel proud of who they are and excited about the opportunities they can pursue in the future. I work every day to build a school community where that’s possible.”

The Newark Common App is a centralized online portal for families to enroll at participating schools. The portal provides families and schools with a seamless, and transparent process for applying to the school of their choice.
Applying is easy and only takes 5 minutes. Simply complete one application with basic information and rank your school choices. Mark BRICK Gateway Academy as your first choice. After submitting your application, you will be included in the lottery system, which matches students with schools based on their preferences.
If you apply by the March 17th deadline, you will receive your match letter by mid-April. You can also access results online via your Newark Common App account. Families can begin registering at their new school immediately.

The system will match each student with the best possible school based on the family’s choices and the Common App’s enrollment policies. The only reason a Newark student would not get into their first choice would be if the school does not have enough seats for all applicants. When a student does not receive his or her first choice, the matching process will move down the student’s list of schools in order to place the student in their highest-ranked school with available seats.
Yes, you can continue to apply after the initial March 17 deadline. The application reopens for phase 2 of enrollment on March 24 and runs through September. Phase 2 applications are processed on a rolling basis.
For applications submitted during phase 2, your match will be processed via the waitlist. You will be notified by telephone or email when you’re matched. Our Scholar Enrollment team will work with you to complete registration.
